about

The songs in 'an illustration of containment' were inspired by Stuart Hall, Angela Davis, Assata Shakur, Karl Marx, Kenneth Anger, the radical left meme universe, post protest angsty anarchist feels, as well as, polyamorous and queer growing pains. Various Marxist cultural studies scholars influenced us to view this collection of songs as a part of a punk subculture which has already been contained, defined, and redefined--a radical counterculture that has already gone through processes of incorporation into the mainstream. Our music exists against and invariably within that process of incorporation.
