Enter Shikari Announce Moratorium (Broadcasts From The Interruption)
Today Enter Shikari dropped Moratorium (Broadcasts From The Interruption) through So Recordings. The collection of songs comes from various home studio sessions and acoustic performances the band did online throughout 2020 and early 2021. Rou Reynolds shared thoughts about the collection, “With no live shows, and no real contact with the rest of the band, it was nice to at least be able to do some remote sessions together. It was also interesting to develop acoustic and alternative versions of some of the new tracks. These performances went some way to filling the gaping hole in our lives!” You can stream Moratorium (Broadcasts From The Interruption) right here.

Joe Biden Nominates Kristen Clarke for Civil Rights Chief
President Joe Biden has chosen Kristen Clarke, a longtime civil rights attorney and advocate for equality, as his pick to be the Justice Department’s civil rights chief. At a nomination hearing, Clarke shared, “As I look to my own son … I remain committed to the promise of working every day to build a world of equal opportunity for all, a world where no 16-year-old is the target of hateful language. A world where no young man is racially profiled. I dream of a world that values his mind, his heart … and does not push him aside because of the color of his skin. I dream of that for every child in America.” If confirmed, Clarke would become the first Black woman to be in the role.
