    It Is Right to Rebel is an exciting and thought provoking new record from Mat Callahan & Yvonne Moore and friends. The double LP consisting of 15 tracks are mostly rooted in the folk music tradition with the unifying elements of rhythm, group singing and acoustic music. Lyrically it deals with topics such as the Zapatista uprising in Chiapas, political prisoners and environmental issues.

    The central theme of the record is awareness. It Is Right to Rebel is a battle cry, a wake up call, an invitation to join the struggles of our time, a celebration of rebellion and social movements and a musical thumbs up to all the people that realize that big changes have to be made.

    The double album comes in a gatefold sleeve with cover art made by graphic designer and author of The Encyclopedia of Political Record Labels, Josh McPhee, from the Just Seeds collective.

    It Is Right to Rebel is a true product of internationalism. It is recorded in Switzerland by an American and a gang of Swiss musicians, the cover art is made by an American activist from Brooklyn and the record is released by a Norwegian leftist record label.

    The release is limited to 500 physical copies world wide.

about

California is wildfire country. Year upon year these fires have been growing in size and intensity and they are now an annual catastrophic event. In 2019 the town of Paradise was completely destroyed and many people were burned to death. Most accounts emphasise the awesome power of Nature and the tragic consequences for the unlucky people trapped by circumstances beyond their control. The fact is, these fires are directly attributable to profit-driven decisions by the power company, PG&E, by environmentally negligent real estate interests and by wilful disregard of the warnings of climate scientists. In short, Paradise is gone because of capitalism.

And for those unfamiliar, John the Revelator is a reference to the Book of Revelation, common in American folksong.

lyrics

Another Message Comin'

Fire come a-runnin'
down the power lines
Burning all directions
Fire swallowed Paradise
Paradise is gone, I hear somebody say

Chorus:

Hold on, here's another message comin'
Tell that operator gotta open up the line
Hold on, John the revelator writin'
Gotta tell the people, gotta open up their minds

This ain't s'posed to happen
in this day and age
We got high technology
What could possibly go wrong,
What could possibly...I heard somebody say

Chorus:

This is an inferno
whole damn world's ablaze
Calling out for volunteers
join the fire brigade (all around the world)
join the fire brigade
join the fire brigade
...I heard somebody say

Chorus:
