Manifesto
THE RESISTANCE STARTS HERE!
‘All 3 bands… all electric shows… THE RESISTANCE STARTS HERE!’
- A MESSAGE FROM MIKE PETERS, PETE WYLIE AND KIRK BRANDON….
Please tune in Monday for exciting news of the Resistance Tour!
THE RESISTANCE STARTS HERE!
IT’S ABOUT THE RETURN OF ROCK AND ROLL
SONGS ABOUT SOMETHING – New songs great songs your songs… REAL SONGS
Not manufactured pap that’s more soap popera than its ELVIS
BY-THE-PEOPLE-OF-THE-PEOPLE-FOR-THE-PEOPLE-ROCK-AND-ROLL
It’s about the music not the marketplace
no accountants. no marketing men .no stylists .no lawyers. no a+r.
JUST a simple truth: friends and brothers and sisters doing it for the right
reasons
honest unspoiled beautiful genuine SONGS played with PASSION!
PROPER GUITARS! GREAT VOICES! REAL BANDS!
AND it’s 100% INDEPENDENT
it’s about offering an alternative thats not part of the ‘alternative
industry…
we’re taking sides… keeping the promise… yeah just when you thought
music didn’t matter anymore…
YES the resistance rocks…
…and truth is absolute
TABLOIDS – and so the poor unsuspecting PUBLIC sell POP AS a COMMODITY –
THEY DONT WANT US.
WOO HOO!!!WE’RE LUCKY. WE CAN DO OUR STUFF WITHOUT all the bullshit, JUST
LIKE WE ALWAYS DREAMED
we are the underground now
the true underground…
and we don’t expect everyone to like what we do – that’s not the point of
the resistance;
in fact one thing we 3 have in common is we’ve never done things for easy
approval –
we do things because we like things, or BECAUSE ITS RIGHT!
It’s NOT nostalgiadesperationconvenientrevival – ITS LIFE! Ongoing glorious
hardandsoft LIFE!!!
FOR ALL THE PEOPLE WHO THE ‘BIZ’ IGNORES RIGHT NOW
THE REVOLUTION STARTS TODAY!
EVERYONE’S BEEN SUCKERED IN TO THEIR WAY OF THINKING, OF JUDGING SUCCESS BY
SALES,
BY MEDIA INTEREST/COVERAGE – THAT’S COMMERCE AND THAT’S BOLLOCKS!
YOU DONT HAVE TO BE UNIVERSALLY LOVED TO COUNT,
ESPECIALLY IN THESE SAD POP IDOL/HELLO/BIG BROTHER SUCKING TIMES
AND WE’RE STANDING UP TO COUNT AND BE COUNTED
WHO CHECKS A BIRTH CERTIFICATE WHEN THEY GO TO BUY A RECORD? YOU DESERVE
HEARSAY!
we’re not pretending to be kids or trying to recapture our youth –
we’re grown men doing what we always tried to do –
reflecting our lives and the lives and experiences of our peers through rock
and roll
IF THAT’S AN ISSUE STICK TO STEPS STOOPID!
AND TELL DYLAN AND STRUMMER ON YOUR WAY OUT.
IT’S ALL PREJUDICE…
YES.
WE’RE THE UNDERGROUND NOW
I still believe in the power of songs…
I still believe in the power of soul….
I still believe in the power of love…
I STILL BELIEVE in ROCK AND ROLL
THE RESISTANCE STARTS HERE!
