Notes

Cover by UK/Austrian feminist post-hardcoreband Petrol Girls. All donations go to Solidarity Not Silence."Here is our version of the Petrol Girls song Touch Me Again. A song about sexual harassment and sexual violence. I remember my first time seeing them perform this song. Such a powerful performance that sent shivers down my spine. We might think we built a community with punk ethics, that is openminded and treats everyone as equals, but let's not forget our community is just like any other. In the UK there is a legal battle between a well known musician and women who dared to speak up against his actions of sexual misbehaviour. These women, united in Solidarity Not Silence, are facing a defamation case. They chose not to be silent, which means there will be a long and expensive case. Solidarity Not Silence needs all support they can get. One of the women is Ren from Petrol Girls, a band we shared stages with in the past and some of their members we have been friends with for 15 years. That is why we decided to record a cover of Touch Me Again and donate all profits to Solidarity Not Silence. We asked our and their friend Roos to join us and we're thrilled to have her vocals, filled with emotion and anger on board.Please check out www.crowdjustice.com/case/solidaritynotsilence and see if you could help out by donating money, setting up benefit shows or record a song for charity. We decided to enable the download for a pay-what-you-want price, so it's affordable for everyone. So buy our song and help out Solidarity Not Silence."
