The Fallout’s new 4-song 7-inch will be out shortly! ( UPDATE: Out now! )

We’ve put together a few videos of some of band’s current and past tunes, all set loosely to Pete Seeger’s quote that “the people are on the march and must have songs to sing.”

First up is “Raise Your Flag”, the title track of the 4-song 7″ EP that will be released shortly on Rebel Time Records.

Second is “Talkin’ Punk Rock Civil War.” Originally released in 2004 on the “Turning Revolution into Money” album, this song, and the other 12 songs on the album, have been completely re-mixed and re-mastered. The album has been re-released digitally, as “(Still ) Turning Revolution Into Money” on Bandcamp on May Day 2018 as free / PWYC, with any monies coming in going to offset the costs of the EP.

Third up is “Holding Up Half The Sky.” One of the 20 or so new songs we’ve recorded and which we hope to release in the near future.

Fourth: “Turn It Down”: another new song which will be released at some point! Inspired by the Turn It Down campaign of a few years back which sought to shine a light on white power music / hate rock.

Fifth: a recently remixed version of The Rebel Spell song “Fight For The Sun.” This song appeared on the “Rebels Sing: A Tribute To Todd Serious And The Rebel Spell” compilation album.

RAISE YOUR FLAG

Raise your flag, Raise it high

Let them look you in the eye

Side by side

Show your pride

Wave your flag, wave your flag

Raise your flag, Raise it high

And when they look you in the eye

Wave your flag, wave your flag, wave your flag

Double standards of the hypocrites

They condescend as you bite your lip

You’re in my heart

You’re on my mind

You don’t have to take that shit

On the horizon is a new frontier

If you feel alone or you’re getting scared

With all your spirit

And all your soul

You know there is nothing to fear

Sing if you’re glad to be gay

Homophobes are just a dying breed

As they cling to an illegitimate creed

You’re in my heart

You’re on my mind

They offer nothing that you can believe

All their hate they never take a rest

Stunning ignorance takes away your breath

With all your spirit

And all your soul

Resolve that you’ll never forget

To sing if you’re happy that way

TALKIN’ PUNK ROCK CIVIL WAR

please don’t get excited cause I’m not keeping score

of the chances you’ve blown and opportunities ignored

to help the ones you love and say you care for

while you talk righteously all about it

and it ain’t getting better in fact it’s getting worse

poor are getting poorer the meek inheriting the earth

while here in the America’s we’re still giving birth

to the notion we’re all created equal

now I don’t think you understand what you’re fighting for

our music, poetry and politics don’t lead to a cure

We need more than talkin” punk rock civil war

please don’t take me wrong, don’t get pissed off

but the injustice and violence that you think you can stop

continues everyday as we sing our protest songs

talk without action produces no results

self-gratifying lifestyles removing any doubt

the chimes of freedom have long wrung out

in a world where direct action counts

… women’s liberation march … 1971 …

HOLDING UP HALF THE SKY

Fighting for equality

Struggling for an opportunity

Violence and oppression

Can’t stop her liberation

Stereotypes of sexuality

Leading to misogyny

Now has come the time

Stop believing all the lies

See her eye to eye

While she’s holding up half the sky

Time to be heard above the noise

Time for men to lend a voice

Stand and fight for equal rights

It’s your body – it’s your choice

Gender bias in the justice system

Placing blame upon the victim

We all know who’s at fault

For the harassment and assaults

Prisoners in an economic cage

Equal work means an equal wage

Now has come the time

Stop believing all the lies

See her eye to eye

While she’s holding up half the sky

It’s time we all gave a fuck

Support your local Janey Canuck

TURN IT DOWN

White noise

In stereo sound

Nothing sounds worse

Need to turn it down

Turn it down

Feeble minds cling to misguided fears

Forcing their nonsense

Into naïve ears

Turn it down

Mouth full of hate

Head full of shit

Bigots pandering to idiots

Turn it down

Your out of touch

Get with the times

Turn it around

And leave your hate behind

Turn it down

FIGHT FOR THE SUN

You might believe this is a real nice place where everyone is free and more or less safe

But did ya know around the world they’ve locked up about 10 million people?

You might not have known but that just changed don’t confuse this for justice just cruel and insane

But to those among us that know and are raising hell to free them

Fight for the sun my bold friends, fight for the sun this night will end. I promise…

Fight for the sun my bold friends, fight for the sun this night will end Fight for the sun fight for the sun fight for the sun it’s coming

We might look different but we’re all the same in that we all need to move and feel love to stay sane

But our cruel species withholds these rights from 25 Billion creatures

How many years cutting day and night would it take to sever that much chain?

You need to help what will it take to get you all to see this!?

I wait they wait when is it coming? Don’t wait, they wait you must bring the sun.

Let’s go bass man walk me home now

It’s only music but I’ve got you listening

Crank the volume bring the rage up

Harder drummer let them hear it

I need some voices a thousand voices

I need you all and one more thing
