Tidal Leveling

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

Natural disasters usually hit the poorest regions the worst. Inferior building engineering as a result of meager funds mean structures in poorer areas are more likely to collapse. In areas that lack running water, the populations consolidate along the coasts of oceans and rivers. Sometimes, these out of the way places have havens of tourism with a luxurious tourist center surrounded on all sides by rampant poverty. In these tourist regions there is often tension between the poorer local populations, the hotel owners, and the governments trying to balance the desires of both. When disaster strikes one of these locales it cleans the slate – devastating housing and displacing the local survivors. Corporations move quickly on these opportunities to not only rebuild, but to land grab while the locals are displaced. It is simply considered good business to cash in on the misfortunes of others.

Tidal Leveling
(Music: 9Volt & PxP/Lyrics: 9Volt)
Sweeping waves cleanse the slate
Disaster capitalists grin and wait
Natures violence displaces all
Record profits drown pleading calls

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.
