Pat the Bunny is my favorite singer-songwriter. This is a compilation of all the songs he recorded in the first iteration of his musical identity, when he was a teenage drifter anarchist addict singing under the name Johnny Hobo. These songs were all released as a series of demo EPs of super ghetto–but still so beautiful–recording quality, and this is an attempt to improve the quality of all those recordings made in squats and encampments across the country on his travels, to bring them all together in one magnificent album of semi-acoustic anarchist anthems. ♥ Neonn

“This is a benefit for Pepe, the founder of the DIY Bandits who was sentenced to nearly 5 years in Federal Prison for marijuana conspiracy charges in 2019. Help him buy some peanut butter and vitamins while he’s serving time. Find more info about his situation at www.preparingforfreedom.org
Over 20 tracks from friends of the Bandits, some of which have never been released before or are kinda hard to find. If you wanna help Pepe buy some extra peanut butter and vitamins while in prison please give a few extra dollars if you can spare it.”

Life, Death and Everything in Between
Hardcore Folk Punk Album [2020]
“The songs on this album seem to circle around family and relationships in the modern, societal structures and how we, the inhabitants of these systems are affected by them. How the constant chase after validation, possessions and careers constantly diverge our attention from the people and moments that are the most important to us. And make us forget ourselves. So this album is dedicated to our kids, families and lovers! Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.”

“My predictions of what we would be allowed this time were all surpassed by the crowd around me, who were blessed with the inexperience necessary to push beyond the limits of what was possible. So-called “knowledge” becomes a liability when one context is mistaken for another. The same series of motions that wins someone a boxing match will lose them a knife fight.
I was mistaken that night. I thought we were on a different field playing a different game. The truth is I don’t know the world I act within well enough to justify a moment of certainty. Of course I deceive myself into many such moments, because the scale of chaos that swirls around me is beyond comprehension. But if you ask me the point of undertaking the small acts of resistance I find within my reach, I must admit: “Probably nothing, but possibly everything.”
And those are the best odds I can expect to play if I am in the
habit of believing in troubling things like freedom. I might never
know the results of what we do, but I have trouble thinking they
could be worse than if we had done nothing at all.”Categories: Acoustic Emo, Acoustic Punk, Folk Punk, Music, Punk

Grace Petrie & the Benefits Culture
Whatever’s Left
Revolutionary Folk Punk Album [2015]
“Grace Petrie’s fourth studio album is a return to big-sound political rants with a folk-punk energy and a big heart. A collection of leftwing anthems to soundtrack the next five years’ struggle.”

Ramshackle Glory
One Last Big Job
Anarchist Folk Punk Album [2016]
“RAMSHACKLE GLORY is a retired anarchist punk band that was based out of Tucson, AZ. This is our last release. Our band lasted from 2010-2016. We put out three full length albums, one split album with the folk punk band Ghost Mice, and toured every year. We donated money to a large number of anarchist and radical political projects, and distributed a lot of free political literature on a variety of topics. We stood up for our values as much as we knew how to. I’m proud of everyone in our band for doing what we did together. This project was hard on all of us in different ways, but in the end we took care of each other as much as we know how to. That isn’t something to take for granted. I actually think it’s all we have. Thanks to everyone who helped us, tolerated our mistakes and our crankiness, and listened to our music. You have funny taste. So do I.
Love, Patrick Schneeweis (June 1, 2016)”“THIS PROJECT was a significant part of my life these past 6 years and I’m thankful for it. At times it was an inspiring and affirming reprieve from normal life. Having the platform to attempt centering both anarchism and queerness in punk spaces meant a ton to me, personally. These weren’t clear objectives, we didn’t have those, but such attempts would manifest and at times it felt important and useful. Sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn’t, like most of the ludicrous things that anarchists do. Aside from the obvious thanks to my bandmates for being the brilliant collection of beautiful weirdos that they are, I want to thank all the rad folks who set up tables at our shows and all the kids who took that part of what we were doing seriously. Thanks to those who tried to practice some kinda consent on the dance floor. Thanks to all the hosts. (Sorry if you had to hear us yelling at each other about violence, insurrection, and techno-transhumanism or whatever at 3 in the morning on your porch.) Love your buds with all you got. Brush your teeth. Fuck authority.
For a world without borders, cops, or cages,
Luke (December 2, 2016)”
