Our states are failed, but our side has to win. In part 2 of our series A People's History of Godspeed You! Black Emperor, we hear from Efrim Manuel Menuck who plays guitar in the band. Amidst a late-April snow storm in Montreal, and on the 20th anniversary of the anti-FTAA protests in Quebec City, we talked with Efrim about the last 25 years of the band, the movement against capitalist globalization, our rejection of Zionism, student uprisings, and hope. Missed part 1 of this series? Have a listen here. Godspeed You! Black Emperor just released their most recent album, "G_d's pee at state's end" on Constellation records in April. It is a must-listen.

For the last quarter-century, Godspeed You! Black Emperor have been putting out epic, orchestral, anarchistic rock music. Their albums and legendary live performances have fuelled radical social movements in their hometown of Montreal, and all around the world. To celebrate the release of the band's latest album G_d's Pee at State's End!, The Rebel Beat is doing a 2-part people's history of Godspeed You! Black Emperor. This first episode features a conversation between host Aaron Lakoff, anarchist graphic designer Kevin Lo, and Sharmeen Khan of No One Is Illegal Toronto and Upping The Anti. We examine how the band's music has been interwoven with some of the greatest moments of social upheaval of our time, from the protests against the war in Iraq, to the massive Quebec student strike of 2012, to the current pandemic. Part 2 will feature an in-depth discussion with Efrim Manuel Menuck from the band. Coming soon. Also, happy MayDay! It's a great day to listen to Godspeed's tune Bosses Hang. Like this podcast?

After a long winter hibernation, The Rebel Beat is finally back and ready to roll out some new episodes this spring! On this episode, we had the pleasure of speaking with Lawrence Dunn, the son of the late folk singer Willie Dunn. Willie Dunn was of mixed Scottish/Irish and Mi'ma'ki ancestry, and wore many hats throughout his prolific career. He was a powerful anti-colonial songwriter, a film director, an activist, and even took a run for elected office once. Some say that his music didn't get the attention that it deserved during his career, but now his son Lawrence Dunn has teamed up with Light in the Attic records to release an anthology of Willie's work, "Creation never sleeps, Creation never dies". Lawrence joins us for a heart-felt discussion on his father's music, activism and legacy. Like this podcast?

Exactly 10 years ago this June, Toronto was a battleground. The G20 had just invaded the city, with the leaders of the world’s largest economies meeting behind fortified fences to discuss pillaging the world. Outside were thousands of us, there to crash the meeting. The massive demos, and some rioting that followed, gave way to the largest mass arrest in Canadian history. Two of those people arrested were our guests on the program today, Testament and Illogik of the long-standing anarchist hip-hop duo Test Their Logik. They join us to reflect on the history of their group, the 10 year anniversary of the G20, and their new album "See". Like this podcast? Then support us on Patreon!
