It only takes 3,000 sales to get into the Top 40 these days, and
30,000 to be Top 10. There's 500,000 demonstrators against the war in
Hyde Park. An e-mail campaign led to 400,000 entering their religion
on census forms as Jedi. We can do this!
Peace Not War have assembled an Alliance of Alternative Artists for a
Triple AAA side single for the protest vote, under the title 'SALT In
The Wound', for release on Jungle Records. There's CARPET BOMBERS FOR
PEACE which features ex-Dead Kennedys' frontman Jello Biafra as The
Cowboy President From Hell, with other musicians (perhaps including
members of a band well known for throwing buckets of water at
politicians!) singing 'Allah Save Queens'. Plus Australian anti-war
campaigners CHANGE produced by Crass, with their 'Ceasefire' song. And
long established activist punk band CONFLICT contribute a suitable
tirade in their new track 'A Gaping Hole'.
All the artists are well-known for campaigning against establishment
hypocrisy. All profits will go to the Stop The War coalition.
The single is released on March 17th, but is available to pre-order
NOW on the net with just a few clicks on either of the links below,
