Breakfast w/ Felix Joy & Prole Teeth - George Michael Special 16TH JUN 2021

"The image allows for the viewer to interpret it quickly.  And I guess that's what an advertiser tries to do--that's what a propagandist tries to do."  - Kevin Caplicki

Founded in 1998, Justseeds is a worker-owned cooperative that produces politically-themed prints.

"I think that people are going to see reflected in this so much from their own life and from the contemporary world, more than we want there to be." - Brad Duncan.

The Rebel Beat 080: Lido Pimienta on motherhood, music & fending off the trolls

It's hard to over-state the influence Ron Morelli has had on
contemporary electronic music world over the last ten years. As head of the vital L.I.E.S. label, and as a DJ and a producer, he has, in his own words, "unintentionally" shaken things up with a forward thinking sonic aesthetic which evolved from a tight knit group in his local NYC scene. Now globally recognised (and often imitated) Morelli is known as the centerpiece of this new wave, continuing to confound expectation with each new move, always with the goal of evolving in one form or another.

Also on the show, we reflect on the one-year anniversary of the mosque shooting in Quebec City, when a white supremacist killed six Muslim men as they were praying. It was just one week after Trump was inaugurated as President of the USA. If you're on Facebook, check out this beautiful collection of tributes here:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/RememberJan29

We also reflect on a year of inspiring resistance against the white supremacist, sexist, ecocidal, and transphobic policies of the Trump regime. There are many frontlines of the struggle, but one in particular you can support are the J20 Defendants:

Finally, in our Turn it Up segment, we honour not one, but TWO groundbreaking musicians:

* Jackie Shane, a pioneering transgendered soul singer. Check out her recently re-released album here:

* Hugh Masekela, the god-father of South African jazz, and anti-apartheid icon, who died this month at the age of 78. Rest in Power!

The Rebel Beat 081: A People's History Through Song

We're back with another monthly edition of The Rebel Beat, a Firebrand Records podcast, and your purveyors of class war on the dance floor, each and every moon cycle.

Our special guest on the podcast this time around is Maddie Ruthless, the front woman of the band The Far East. The Far East hail from Brooklyn, NY, and play a blend of unapologetic reggae that is as sultry as it is hard-edged.

We spoke with Maddie about the radical, anti-imperialist and anti-racist message of reggae, being a woman in the music scene, anti-fascist music in the age of Trump, AND touring with 2-tone ska legends The Specials.

The Rebel Beat 082: Burn Down Babylon with Maddie Ruthless and The Far East

"Almost fifty thousand workers went on strike at General Motors Sept 16th, 2019, after management and United Auto Workers Union negotiators failed to agree on a new contract. GM has bounced back from recession thanks to a taxpayer bailout, government tax breaks and contracts and a brutal restructuring of the workforce. Now even though the company’s made $35 billion in the last few years - they want concessions, and yet more plant closures and layoffs."
