BANDS FOR BLACK LIVES MATTER


Recommended Posts

Let me preface this by saying this thread is NOT meant for arguing. This is simply a list of bands and labels who are selling merch or auctioning off test presses to help with the current sociopolitical climate of the US. Please add links if you find them, and keep your negativity to yourself. 

 

UPDATE: This list got so long, it looked cumbersome using this format. The ads were also splitting up the list which bothered me. Because the format is easier to view, I've moved this over to google drive!

Not today, but bandcamp will be donating 100% of their shares on June 19th to NAACP legal defense.

Nice i just made a direct donation there myself today ( I felt I was being self serving for the RFC one and wanted to make a seperate donation where I wasn't potentially getting anything out of it), going to need it with all the arrested protesters many of whom are peaceful.

Raffles and merch do feel very self serving but at least you know your RFC raffle donations are also being matched by the label (up to a point obviously, hopefully they smash that $2,500 goal).

I didn't intend it as a slight at anyone, entering raffles helps too! I just did it to ease my conscience because I do not feel safe going to protest during a pandemic in a city where the cops are using excessive force. I think it's awesome that people are donating to all these causes who have the means to do so

This was my Fave New Band that I'd discovered just before the pandemic hit. Heavy shoegaze heaven. Total no-brainer and PWYC, so if anyone only has a few bucks to spare, look no further.
