Happy 25th Anniversary to MAJORITY RULE’s “Interviews With David Frost” LP. This album and this band are rare things in the sense that, while both were ahead of their time musically, production-wise, and politically, virtually every facet ended up being widely adopted not just across the subculture, but in very much above-ground albums, presentations, and even in the mouths of talking heads across the media landscape. A lot of us who worked on and/or listened to the album and believe in its messaging still get whiplash when hearing the same sentiments now casually being expressed in any given conversation you could overhear in your neighborhood dog park.I’d attribute that to Majority Rule always having it dialed in on all fronts from this record on. Sonically, while most of us in their orbit would just turn up as loud as we could in any given room, Pat, Kevin, and Matt could always override those primal tendencies and quickly calibrate a sonic balance that was ultimately optimal for their unique dynamic range and the room itself. I can’t count how often our friends and mutuals would express loving jealousy as we all stood and watched the band play night in and night out.Just as impressively, the messaging and ethos of the album and the band just continued on for the past two decades and a half, both in subsequent Majority Rule albums and in @nomanband , the band they’ve been doing with @mahashami almost ever since.It’s an honor to be a custodian to such a tremendously special album. Every time a new pressing is in order, a unique sensation overwhelms… perhaps a deep appreciation that new generations of people who, in a general sense, *demand more* still find potency in a musical work that was truly always calibrated right on target.Thank you to @pat_broderick_or_whatever / @kevinlamiell / and @vivastudiova for deeply inspiring then and now… and constantly blowing minds. ♥️(Pictured: the first Magic Bullet pressing on white vinyl)..#majorityrule #interviewswithdavidfrost #magicbulletrecords #darkoperative by @majorityruleband

We’re still glowing from all the love and care from Punks for Palestine weekend! Together we raised just over $30,000 for Palestine — an incredible amount that shows the power and heart of this community. First, thank you to the bands. We know how much work went into getting here, and we’re so grateful you volunteered your time and energy.Thanks to St. Stephen’s and @positiveforcedc for hosting us in such an important space unlike anywhere else. Thanks to Doug, Jesús, Kate, and crew for making everything sound amazing. And huge thanks to all the volunteers who worked the door, helped load in, worked merch, baked cupcakes, made posters, and kept everything running smoothly.Grateful to @myhanitizer from @gazasoupkitchen for joining us and sharing his story. Hani… you are an inspiration and your remarks moved everyone in the room. Keep moving. Our work isn’t done — but together, we’ll keep fighting until Palestine is free. Our eyes are open. Love,Maha & Matt by @majorityruleband

Just got home. The tour was a huge success in that together we were able to raise 💰28,693💰 for local grassroots organizations. I feel so lucky to have had the chance to do this tour again with some of my oldest and best friends as well as my family. Seeing @pageninetynineband and @portrayalofguilt every night was unreal. Finding places where I feel like I actually belong gets harder and harder these days, so to feel that way every night was a dream. Another world is possible. Love you @kevinlamiell @blueberry_broderick @yr_screamingyouth @pygmylush @blakiefingers @mahashami @pg99bassist @georgecrum @ghastlycitysleep @bignobigno @davidbrettgoldberg @munashami @jamilah777 @lacaroleins @jaimeboddorff @hirs666 @coherenceband @lifes_band - Matt by @majorityruleband
