This project came about between two friends wanting to collaborate together on something fun and creative. These recordings were taken from our very first jam, and we were so pleased with how it went that we decided to chop it up, mix it up a little bit, and release it. So here we are.
This release has been created with the intention or raising money for Action for Trans Health, Housing Action Southwark & Lambeth, and Not Your Fault. 100% of the money raised from sales will go to these groups.
All 50 copies of the cdr have been hand-stamped. We proudly use and endorse faux Pritt Stick, and make only conceited apologies for the quality of the adhesive used.
The digital version is available on pay what you can and licenced under CC-BY,. The recommended donation is £5.00, but please donate what you can.
DIY or die

We were also intending to give money to Movement For Justice (MFJ) because we thought it to be a migrant-led collective of refugees and asylum seekers. But recently a former member has spoken out about the structure of MFJ as a front organization for Revolutionary Internationalist League, run by white English men and rife with psychological and emotional abuse, which (within the organization and in general) disproportionately falls on women and migrants with precarious immigration status.
MFJ has materially helped some asylum seekers and refugees, but we believe survivors when they say that the organization is abusive and that the material aid is tokenistic and only offered when it's politically advantageous.
We won't be donating any money to MFJ because we believe and stand with survivors of abuse. You can read what they have to say here:
