Love Music Hate Racism carnival 2008

WHO?

We are a collective of collaborators from a range of backgrounds united by a love of music and musicians with something important to say. This is a non-profit project that aims to communicate & celebrate.

We actively oppose all kinds of oppression & discrimination. We shamelessly laud the people who use music, art & culture to fight back against those whose greed, prejudice & stupidity will send us all into social, economic & environmental catastrophe. These are our final hours and everything is political.

WHAT?

We bring the news, views & reviews that the mainstream wont touch or be interested in. We honour the bands, venues, promoters & labels who care about the world in which we live. We applaud new & uncharted territory while promoting already established voices of reason & treason.

We’ll prioritise the organic and independent while also giving due consideration to the established names with a conscience. There are no cultural or musical boundaries. We aim to share & enlighten. We do not discriminate.

WHEN?

We aim to break stories as they happen and this site is user/contributor led. We also have a sense of history and will readily salute the key voices of days gone by.

WHERE?

We are presently based in the UK, mostly around London and the south of England with a desire to expand all over the place. Our news & coverage is primarily geared towards the UK & Ireland for the time being. None of this is written in stone.

WHY?

We strive to create a forum that empowers musicians & artists to speak out.

Because we see our spaces & venues being closed down and turned into private housing or brands promoting tax dodging corporations. Music & culture belongs to the people who create and enjoy it. Not those who wish to own it.
