Union! Union! Ooooohhh! Criminalized and ostracized No respect for the lives of the working girls Trivialized and left to die No respect for the lives of the working girls No one is safe tonight No respect for the lives of the working girls We need to make it right And show respect for the lives of the working girls Culture of fear Culture of hate Proliferating violence Legislating rape Union! Union! Ooooohhh! Marginalized and stigmatized No respect for the lives of the working girls Pathologized and cast aside No respect for the lives of the working girls 3rd class citizens No respect for the lives of the working girls Hostile work conditions Show some respect for the lives of the working girls Culture of fear Culture of hate Proliferating violence Legislating rape Union! Union! Ooooohhh

Lyrics by Paul Sebastianelli They say freedom’s just another word for nothing left to sell Freedom’s a word we never learn to say very well They may hold us down Kick us down to the ground The days gonna come when we’ll take a walk in the sun You can come and find death in the Salvadoran hills You’ve got to learn to die, before you learn how to kill They may take our homes In darkness we will roam The days gonna come when we’ll take a walk in the sun If I had a hammer, I would hammer everyday The biggest hammers here are sold by the CIA But they won’t sell them to me They don’t believe in democracy The days gonna come when we’ll take a walk in the sun

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.

Wage Slave 01:34
Wage! Slave! I'm getting hungry and they're raising my rent I got my paycheque but it's already spent My hands are tied because they're clocking my time Selling my life away for nickels and dimes I'm a wage slave Nothing more Wage slave Working poor Wage! Slave! From bull to bear the economy's crashed That's why they can't pay us any more cash Hard to get by on this minimum wage Indentured life I can't escape

THE FALLOUT
Raise your flag and other anthems EP
Rebel Time Records

THE FALLOUT verknüpfen Solidarität (Red Light Union working girls, Pro-Homo) und Punk zu einer Melange aus ANGELIC UPSTARTS und 3-Akkorde-Punkrock. Auflehnung, Pogo, Arbeiterklassensymbolik:
real music from the street and from the heart. Side by side und open minded. Alle 4 Songs sind musikalische Sing-a-longs, hymnisch-flotte Smasher mit Botschaft und Attitüde. Dabei verzichten sie auf inhaltsleere Phrasen und Parolen und manövrieren sich mit Melodie, Härte und Tempo mit gezielter Kritik durch die Krisen, die von Kapitalismus, Xenophobie, Homophobie, Unterdrückung und Ausbeutungsverhältnisse geprägt und begleitet werden. "Raise your flag and other anthems" ist der aufrüttelnde Soundtrack mit Möglichkeit eigenständiger dissidenter Subkultur und dem mündigen Handeln, liefert eine entsprechende Erwartungshaltung an den Inhalt, der Neugierde und Interesse wecken soll. THE FALLOUT kombinieren also Politik mit einer harmonischen Melodic-Punk-Spielart als Denkprozess zu einem autonomen, unabhängigen und erfüllten Leben. (Underdog Zine)

THE FALLOUT – Raise Your Flag And Other Anthems

The Fallout describe their sound as “straight-up, stripped-down politically-charged punk rock that’s got backbone and backbeat” and they are dead on the money. Their latest four-track EP, Raise Your Flag And Other Anthems, sees the Toronto, Canada based band on stellar form.

The fast-paced yet melodic punk rock of Red Light Union blends the likes of The Blitz, Bad Religion and the UK Subs to craft a belting sound with some excellent vocal interplay. The SLF like guitar opening to Walk In The Sun sets up a maniacally fast drumbeat and some seriously energetic punk rock power that blows away the cobwebs completely.

The superb Raise Your Flag is next, and the pace is maintained although the group vocals encourage a streetpunk, ‘punch the air’ response that had the entire office moshing with huge smiles on our faces. The closer, Wage Slave seals the deal with a chunky, serrated guitar and anthemic like vocal delivery. As the song fades, I am left with a feeling of discovering the spirit of punk alive and kicking with a rhythm section that is simply outstanding! (Punk Online)

"The Fallout son una banda punk rock 100% comprometida y politica de Toronto, Canada. Esta EP, producio por Rebel Time Records, propone 4 balas nerviosas, rapidas y pegajosas que hablande prostitucion y organizacion, de libertad, del orgullo LGTBQ+ y de capitalismo. Esuchalas en su Bandcamp y arma el 7" con Randy de RTR!" ( OjoXOjo, No. 3, April 2020 )
