Japan’s NHK World website releases 30 min documentary video of Myanmar’s punk scene. This is AWESOME.
“Just 1 year ago in Myanmar, the National League for Democracy led by Aung San Suu Kyi was formally elected, freeing the country from the grip of a 50-year military reign. During the past regime, punk music had emerged as an underground medium to protest the government’s authoritative rule. However, new social problems have grown visible under the current government. In the midst of Yangon’s economic growth, harsh income gaps and joblessness are major obstacles, giving modern punk music a new perspective for their voice of protest. In this episode, we follow the activity of The Rebel Riot, a punk band in Myanmar addressing social issues through song, and working to help the country’s disadvantaged citizens.”
What a MASSIVE announcement by our fellas in Japanese hardcore legends LOYAL TO THE GRAVE. After 7 long years, the band has just announced a brand new 5 track...
