Rock Against Howard

[Floyd.]

All I know so far is that Andrew Bartlett from the Australian Democrats (I think it's him) has contributed a track from an old band he was in in the 80's called Too Green for Summer, Kerry Nettle wanted to contribute a track too I think but the Compiler said something like "No, I can't just use this to launch the musical careers of politicians." It's compiled by Lindsay from Frenzal Rhomb a good Aussie punk band. I think that Frenzal Rhomb also have ties to Fat Records (or Wreck Chords depending on what kind of a sticker you have, lol) and Fat Mike from NOFX. Perhaps NOFX are after world supremacy with all this outing rightist governments stuff (DON'T REPLY TO THIS PART I DON'T SERIOUSLY BELIEVE IT.)

Well I'd like to know if someone knows more like a track listing or release date.

No joke, I might buy it.

Also, for those Australians here, don't forget the national End The Lies pre-election rallies. They are on Sunday 3rd October in most cities.

Rally to end the lies!

Three years after the truth was thrown overboard at the last federal election, now is the time to say end the lies and to start a new path to a better country and a more peaceful world.

People will gather in every capital city and many regional centres the week before the election.

On Sunday October 3 join hundreds of thousands of other Australians in seeking to end the lies.


Adelaide: 1pm, Victoria Square
Brisbane: 'Time for a change' rally, 1pm, Roma St Forum
