Debt Neglector Release Single In Aid Of ACLU

Regardless of what happens in these midterms Debt Neglector are still primed to keep fighting the good fight. If you head over to their Bandcamp page you can download their cover of The Clash‘s I’m So Bored With The USA, donate to the ACLU and be in with a chance to win cool shit! The song is set as pay-what-you-want but 100% of donations this week will be going to the ACLU, in addition to this anyone who downloads and donates will also receive a free download of their new EP, The Kids Are Pissed and anyone who donates at least $1 will also be entered to win a special prize.

We decided to cover this song for a couple of reasons. Firstly, the Clash rip. They have always stuck out to me as the “right way” to do punk rock. None of this “punk is meant to be offensive” trash. It’s socially conscious. Joe Strummer was smart and he spoke for the less fortunate and you could tell that his heart was really behind it. He’s one of those larger than life characters that only come around once or twice in a generation. Secondly, the song is great and I think has aged really well to represent what’s going on in America today. It deals with violence and the constant outpouring of bad news that we’ve come to expect from our country. It can be desensitizing watching all the stories unfold day after day of another shooting or another hate crime. It would be nice to have something to be excited about in the upcoming midterms, but for now we’re just exhausted by all the bad news.
