On Punk Black To-Go, “City Lights” music contributor Von Phoenix brings us highlights from local artists of color performing in various music and art arenas – many of which break stereotypes and expectations. This new monthly review kicked off in December, introducing its illustrious host and the Atlanta-based collective he co-founded. Phoenix’s mission with Punk Black is to create a radically inclusive space for BIPOC artists, musicians, and cosplayers, expanding the vocabulary of what it means to live in the punk world. This month’s edition takes a look at new bands on the Atlanta scene, serving you a selection of today’s can’t-miss radical creators.
This month’s highlights:
The Blood Plums – “Their music is so punk and so driving that it could literally be the soundtrack to anything. Action chase scene: Blood Plums. Party scene: Blood Plums. Saving a country from a racist government scene: Blood Plums.” Selected track “Dirty Cops” offers a winking, audacious takedown of unearned authority over a propulsive rock beat.
