And I couldn't be more glad to announce it (despite the rather ham-handed re-entry with yesterday's article). As has been said before, 2011 was an incredible year for rebellion in general and rebel music in particular. If it's any indication then we have plenty of unpredictable radical energy in store for us in 2012.
That, of course, means much more coming up at Rebel Frequencies too, including an examination of punk rock's anti-apartheid history, an interview with British musician and revolutionary Dave Randall, and, later this summer, a piece on the legacy of Woody Guthrie on the 100th anniversary of his birth.
For those who missed some of the last articles of 2011 too, two of them have been republished. Over the break, the Punks Against Apartheid website re-ran my article on the Indonesian punk raids, and SocialistWorker.org republished my review of Lupe Fiasco's Friend of the People mixtape (which now comes endorsed by Lupe himself).
All of this means that there has never been a better time to subscribe to RF in one way or another. There will also be a new year's fund drive to support the site being launched in the coming weeks, but you can feel free to donate too in the meantime!
