On October 31, Pinkshift unleashed their new heavy rock and pop-punk-infused track, “ONE NATION.” Previously, the group released “Knead” in September, their cover of Illuminati hotties’ song for Hopeless Records’ Hopelessly Devoted To You.
“ONE NATION” sees the band sending a major message to those in political power who refuse to protect their people and people abroad. Underneath their lyric video, the band says, “It’s difficult to watch the suffering of Palestinians, the suffering of all those who are oppressed and disenfranchised by imperialism, alongside the repression of free speech and our right to protest in the US.”
They continue, “Many of us watch, feeling powerless, while billions of our tax dollars are unconditionally promised to war and destruction abroad, as well as militarized police at home. They’re gunning for a war. And now we have to vote – because this is how we use our voice – and every option is not good enough, full of empty promises and celebrity appeal. Are we allowed to rejoice and rage with our community, speaking to the suffering we witness? Are we allowed to reject the crumbs that are being offered to us by the ruling elite, and demand they do something more with their power? The answer is that we must, and our generation knows it.”
