10 new albums that oppose all forms of war

Here's a look back at April's political news and the best new music that related to it, which tackles the wars on workers, women and minorities worldwide. You can also listen to a podcast of this column, including all the music, here.
1. BURNING FLAG - MATADOR
On April 5, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson - fresh from saying workers had had too many "days off" by working from home during the coronavirus pandemic - announced the country was opening back up. Days later, British feminist punks Burning Flag released their debut album, which samples Johnson vowing that his much-maligned Brexit will "close the productivity gap", on the track "Broken Britain". Over crunching, punishing guitars, singer Holly Searle then seethes: "What democracy do we live in when voting for a broken Britain? What future do we face when voices can be swayed by hate? Don’t think they’ll ever change, funded by the upper classes. Only way to make a wave is to riot in our masses. Resist, organise, revolt, welcome to a broken Britain. Reject, liberate, exalt, welcome to a broken Britain." LISTEN>>>

10 new albums that tackle racism, sexism and ignorance

1. ANDRA DAY - THE UNITED STATES VS. BILLIE HOLIDAY (MUSIC FROM THE MOTION PICTURE)
February's US politics was dominated by the move to impeach former president Donald Trump. Instead, his lawyers put Black Lives Matter protesters on trial by playing clips of prominent Black Democratic representative Maxine Waters delivering fiery speeches to argue such people were no better than the white supremacists who'd invaded the Capitol building. On February 19, actor and singer Andra Day released her soundtrack to new film
The United States vs. Billie Holiday, which tells the story of how the legendary jazz singer stood up to the racist establishment. “The story is about how this woman, this icon, was much too outspoken, and so the government came after her,” said screenwriter Suzan-Lori Parks. “It’s about how we African-American folks love this country that doesn’t really love us back.” The film is anchored by Holiday's iconic protest song "Strange Fruit".

10 new political albums to kick off 2021 in style

1. TASMAN KEITH - TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
On January 1, Australian prime minister Scott "ScoMo" Morrison marked the new year by changing the words of the national anthem from "we are young and free" to "we are one and free". He did so "to appreciate the timeless spirit of the ancient land we call home, and the connection to this place of Indigenous peoples who have cared for our country for thousands of years". But if Australians were truly "one and free", the incarceration rate of Indigenous Australians would not be 10 times that of non-Indigenous Australians. If Australians were truly "one and free", the white man suspected of killing Aboriginal children in the New South Wales town of Bowraville in the 1990s would probably not still be walking free. Indigenous rapper Tasman Keith, who was born in Bowraville, tackles such subjects on his debut mixtape, by "showing his confidence to racists/bigots", in his words. LISTEN>>>
