The Fallout’s new 4-song 7-inch will be out shortly! ( UPDATE: Out now! )
We’ve put together a few videos of some of band’s current and past tunes, all set loosely to Pete Seeger’s quote that “the people are on the march and must have songs to sing.”
First up is “Raise Your Flag”, the title track of the 4-song 7″ EP that will be released shortly on Rebel Time Records.
Second is “Talkin’ Punk Rock Civil War.” Originally released in 2004 on the “Turning Revolution into Money” album, this song, and the other 12 songs on the album, have been completely re-mixed and re-mastered. The album has been re-released digitally, as “(Still ) Turning Revolution Into Money” on Bandcamp on May Day 2018 as free / PWYC, with any monies coming in going to offset the costs of the EP.
Third up is “Holding Up Half The Sky.” One of the 20 or so new songs we’ve recorded and which we hope to release in the near future.
Fourth: “Turn It Down”: another new song which will be released at some point! Inspired by the Turn It Down campaign of a few years back which sought to shine a light on white power music / hate rock.
Fifth: a recently remixed version of The Rebel Spell song “Fight For The Sun.” This song appeared on the “Rebels Sing: A Tribute To Todd Serious And The Rebel Spell” compilation album.

RAISE YOUR FLAG
Raise your flag, Raise it high
Let them look you in the eye
Side by side
Show your pride
Wave your flag, wave your flag
Raise your flag, Raise it high
And when they look you in the eye
Wave your flag, wave your flag, wave your flag
Double standards of the hypocrites
They condescend as you bite your lip
You’re in my heart
You’re on my mind
You don’t have to take that shit
On the horizon is a new frontier
If you feel alone or you’re getting scared
With all your spirit
And all your soul
You know there is nothing to fear
Sing if you’re glad to be gay
Homophobes are just a dying breed
As they cling to an illegitimate creed
You’re in my heart
You’re on my mind
They offer nothing that you can believe
All their hate they never take a rest
Stunning ignorance takes away your breath
With all your spirit
And all your soul
Resolve that you’ll never forget
To sing if you’re happy that way

TALKIN’ PUNK ROCK CIVIL WAR
please don’t get excited cause I’m not keeping score
of the chances you’ve blown and opportunities ignored
to help the ones you love and say you care for
while you talk righteously all about it
and it ain’t getting better in fact it’s getting worse
poor are getting poorer the meek inheriting the earth
while here in the America’s we’re still giving birth
to the notion we’re all created equal
now I don’t think you understand what you’re fighting for
our music, poetry and politics don’t lead to a cure
We need more than talkin” punk rock civil war
please don’t take me wrong, don’t get pissed off
but the injustice and violence that you think you can stop
continues everyday as we sing our protest songs
talk without action produces no results
self-gratifying lifestyles removing any doubt
the chimes of freedom have long wrung out
in a world where direct action counts

HOLDING UP HALF THE SKY
Fighting for equality
Struggling for an opportunity
Violence and oppression
Can’t stop her liberation
Stereotypes of sexuality
Leading to misogyny
Now has come the time
Stop believing all the lies
See her eye to eye
While she’s holding up half the sky
Time to be heard above the noise
Time for men to lend a voice
Stand and fight for equal rights
It’s your body – it’s your choice
Gender bias in the justice system
Placing blame upon the victim
We all know who’s at fault
For the harassment and assaults
Prisoners in an economic cage
Equal work means an equal wage
Now has come the time
Stop believing all the lies
See her eye to eye
While she’s holding up half the sky
It’s time we all gave a fuck
Support your local Janey Canuck

TURN IT DOWN
White noise
In stereo sound
Nothing sounds worse
Need to turn it down
Turn it down
Feeble minds cling to misguided fears
Forcing their nonsense
Into naïve ears
Turn it down
Mouth full of hate
Head full of shit
Bigots pandering to idiots
Turn it down
Your out of touch
Get with the times
Turn it around
And leave your hate behind
Turn it down

FIGHT FOR THE SUN
You might believe this is a real nice place where everyone is free and more or less safe
But did ya know around the world they’ve locked up about 10 million people?
You might not have known but that just changed don’t confuse this for justice just cruel and insane
But to those among us that know and are raising hell to free them
Fight for the sun my bold friends, fight for the sun this night will end. I promise…
Fight for the sun my bold friends, fight for the sun this night will end Fight for the sun fight for the sun fight for the sun it’s coming
We might look different but we’re all the same in that we all need to move and feel love to stay sane
But our cruel species withholds these rights from 25 Billion creatures
How many years cutting day and night would it take to sever that much chain?
You need to help what will it take to get you all to see this!?
I wait they wait when is it coming? Don’t wait, they wait you must bring the sun.
Let’s go bass man walk me home now
It’s only music but I’ve got you listening
Crank the volume bring the rage up
Harder drummer let them hear it
I need some voices a thousand voices
I need you all and one more thing
guitar guitar guitar guitar
