MY PEOPLE RECORDS & DECOLONOIZE PRESENT:
* MY PEOPLE FEST 2022 *
AT KANTINE AM BERHAIN
Zulu (US)
It almost feels reductive to call Zulu a metallic hardcore band, because their music is so much more than that. Both their 2019 and 2020 EPs are packed with emotional lyrics, spoken-word poems and tearful audio clips about the systemic violence that Black Americans are forced to endure under the rule of their country’s white nationalist patriarchy. Their nasty riffs, cop-crushing mosh parts and speckles of powerviolence blast beats are tremendous, but they mostly function as a compelling medium to host their urgent message to white audiences: „It’s up to you/And you alone/Make that change.“

Eat My Fear (Berlin)
Queer-feminist, anti-racist, anarchist hardcore-punk band, based and born in Berlin in 2016. Their music is a place for
frustration and anger, a promise of mutual support, of not giving up, of creating utopias and making a change.

Deutsche Laichen (Berlin)
As a feminist punchline machine, Deutsche Laichen argues extensively about sexism, toxic masculinity (machoness) and cops on their first LP. Their new songs are about racism – within their own environment, the DIY music scene and the left-wing bubble. With the criticism of white structures and the white music scene, which also does not seem to have any further problems with it, like performative solidarity and white party/feel-good feminism are declared war.
