🎼 During quarantine, I was organizing my music library + found this rare, unreleased live rehearsal recording of my band SWEAR ON YOUR LIFE from 2005. It’s gritty, raw + fitting for these frustrating, turbulent + rebellious times. 🎼 Think Bad Brains meets James Brown with a smear of female angst. 🎼 No studio magic, no gloss, no autotune. Just ruckus. Goddamn live. I hope you dig it 🏴‍☠️ Full song now on my YouTube channel youtube.com/militiaismyname This is a clip of “HUMAN BONDAGE” ✊🏽 #swearonyourlife #humanbondage #protestmusic #angerisagift #femalerocksinger #femalemetalsinger #blackpunks #postpunk #soyl #nyc #afropunk #brooklynbands #feminist #protest #resistancebands (at Brooklyn, New York City) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCorQKNJM2F/?igshid=8i12z9eyk4zb

Continuing from the theme yesterday of spotlighting #BlackPeopleInMetal for #BlackHistoryMonth by showcasing #BlackWomenInMetal. #MilitiA is the lead vocalist for all-women #JudasPriest cover band #JudasPriestess and metal band #SwearOnYourLife. She's been vocal about the discrimination and #sexism she has faced in her tenure in Judas Priestess and Swear On Your Life. #MilitiaVox

📸His name has come up in conversation several times recently... it seems only fitting to remind people who he was. . 📸Nik “RockMetal” had ‘the eye.’ He was a great photographer, friend and ally to me, Swear on Your Life, ‘baby Priestess’ (early @judas_priestess) and many other NYC bands and artists. . 📸5 years gone but not forgotten... I remember you 🖤 . 📸Here’s some of my favorite pictures that he took. . #nikrockmetal #rockmetalinc #rip #militiavox #judaspriestess #swearonyourlife #nycartists #nyc #photographer #blackandwhitephotography (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/Brdnvu_hcPL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=5hxvc0ht0wih
