Influences"People that have nothing to live for become desperate; and when virtually everything in one's country is under attack ­ it is clear that those who created that nightmare will remain targets as long as they remain in the affected country. Imagine what would happen if the USA were to have sustained five long years of a foreign power's occupation of this nation. That would involve rape, routine torture, religious persecution, along with a lack of water, electricity, jobs, or security of any kind-and what if all of this took place under the kind of media-censorship that we've imposed on Iraq and Afghanistan? Would it matter how our wives and children died, or that vast numbers of our citizens were abducted by police to be tortured and murdered daily-by the hundreds? Could the Americans that survived the initial attacks, plus the brutality and criminality that flows from such a wholesale destruction of any country remain so abstract about their treatment? How long then would the remaining Americans want that occupying foreign force to remain in this country, after the so-called "Mission was Accomplished"? And, after the occupiers leave, how long would the survivors "remember" the maiming, the shaming, and the deaths of loved ones? Why can Americans not see how very wrong this war-on- Iraq has always been?"

JUSTIN PEARSON OF THE LOCUST - NEXT DSR

DOPE SICK RADIO EPISODE 47 - TUESDAY, JUNE 2ND @ 7PM (CST) - W/ JUSTIN PEARSON OF THE LOCUST AND THREE ONE G RECORDS

The Locust have been referred to as the death of contemporary music as the world knows it. They've been called everything from junkies, faggots, and noise polluters, to criminals, degenerates, and violence mongers. I consider them nothing short of genius.

The ringleader of this fuckin mess is one Mr. Justin Pearson. His body of work is extensive. He's had is hand in more creative projects than Nicole Richie's had dicks. He's been frontin and bass rapin bands since the age of 15 and is currently one of three partners running Three One G Records. His most current projects include the band All Leather and a non-linear audio/ video production company being called Leg Lifters.

On Tuesday June 2nd, the veil will be lifted and the truth shall be revealed. Tune the fuck in.

Just ordered the 7" from my one of the good indie record stores in my town. How many songs on it? Any plans on an lp/tour?
All the best.
