Liquor Flesh Trade

from Boycott Everything by Poison Planet

/

  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    Originally pressed as a 7" on Refuse Records out of Europe for Poison Planet's European tour in June 2011, the US version has been a year long project. The band felt that the 7" format lacked the visual impact that they intended and the lyrics and art had been rushed. The US version is a one sided 12" EP, with a screen printed "B" side. The front and back cover art have been updated and the lyric sheet has expanded from a small jam packed insert that was just columns of white text on a black background to include relevant imagery and additional essays. Lastly, to add to the final package they've included a 24"x36" black and white poster.

    Includes unlimited streaming of Boycott Everything via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

about

From the top down the alcohol industry relies on the exploitation and submission of women. From the ad campaigns that use imagery to link alcohol to the promise of sexual conquest, to ladies nights at bars that grant women free drinks in order to pull in male patrons, to the men themselves who use liquor as means to make women compliant and easier to manipulate. In the relationship between the alcohol industry and consumers, women benefit the least while they are exploited the most. It would seem that radical feminists should want to subvert the alcohol industry and it’s endorsement of patriarchal social constructs. The most thorough way to undermine this relationship would be to reject drugs and alcohol outright, though any steps towards a boycott of the alcohol industry are steps in the right direction. The well documented link between sexual violence, domestic abuse, and alcohol should only reinforce the desire for a feminist stance against the alcohol industry. Alcohol liberates inhibition, but it does not liberate people, instead it facilitates submission. Intoxication undermines empowerment and bodily control. Boycott alcohol and use it as a tool to fight gender inequality.

lyrics

Liquor Flesh Trade
(Music: 9Volt & PxP/Lyrics: 9Volt)
Drunken coercion
Patriarchal manipulation
Willfully accepted
Exploitation

Your bodies sell it - your bodies fuel it
Your bodies sell it - your bodies fuel it
Your bodies sell it - your bodies fuel it
Your bodies sell it - your bodies fuel it

You drink it down
You drink it down
You drink it down
You drink it down
Smash it on the fucking ground

Reject abuse take control
Reject abuse take control
Reject abuse take control
Reject abuse take control

Take your bodies back
Don’t be easy prey
Take your bodies back
Explicit control is empowerment
Explicit control is empowerment

about

Poison Planet Chicago, Illinois

What separates punk from other genres of music is its visceral menacing sounds make it the perfect soundtrack for anger & protest. The direct result of this combination of elements is that it became a vehicle for socio-political ideas.

PxP firmly embrace that vehicle in the hope of advocating the idea of personal growth & change; personal is political.

Straight Edge.
Veganism.
Human Rights. ... more
