    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

Advertisers want us to believe that by changing the name of something they change its nature. As if by magic, a transformation takes place and a common or valueless article becomes an object of desire. Something that once belonged to no one and was available to everyone becomes property owned by someone. This sleight of hand is enshrined in the law of every state in the world and the lie at its core is promoted as freedom, the greatest magic trick of all.
– Mat Callahan

lyrics

Fire Isn't Fire

Fire isn't fire,
the liar told the flame
You need to rebrand
if you want wealth and fame
if you want wealth and fame, lord
if you want wealth and fame
fire isn't fire, the liar told the flame

Higher isn't higher
the liar told the sky
need something exclusive
if people going to buy
people going to buy, land
people going to buy
higher isn't higher, the liar told the sky

Water isn't water,
the liar told the spring
you need a plastic bottle
to be worth anything
to be worth anything, lord
to be worth anything
water isn't water, the liar told the spring

Deeper isn't deeper,
the liar told the well
you a need a sharper image
if you expect to sell
if you expect to sell, lord
if you expect to sell
deeper isn't deeper, the liar told the well

Friends you may be wondering
What difference does it make
A liar's just a liar
A fake is just a fake

The lesson may be simply
that if the truth were told
What we all are seeking is
what can't be bought or sold
can't be bought or sold, Lord
can't be bought of sold
what we all are seeking
can't be bought or sold
