That’s one of the great things about music. You sing a song to 85,000 people and they’ll sing it back for 85,000 reasons.

WE LIKE HARDCORE: A Punx of Colour Playlist (8tracks)

To celebrate the launch of our first issue of Diaspora Drama, we asked Rita Mikhael (rmkhl) who runs the DIY cassette/zine/art label Summer Isle to curate for us a playlist featuring current poc punk bands from La Misma to Downtown Boys to so much more. We’re all about offbeat and cool people of colour so have a listen!
