While said under wildly different circumstances before the 1944 election, we think FDR's words are especially germane to our current situation: “Nobody will ever deprive the American people of the right to vote except the American people themselves—and the only way they could do that is by not voting at all. The continuing health and vigor of our democratic system depends on the public spirit and devotion of its citizens which find expression in the ballot box. Every man and every woman in this Nation—regardless of party—who have the right to register and to vote, and the opportunity to register and to vote, have also the sacred obligation to register and to vote. For the free and secret ballot is the real keystone of our American Constitutional system.” And, as the late great John Lewis said a few years ago. “People keep telling me they are frustrated and ask, "What can I do?" I say organize, get registered, and vote like you've never voted before”

The Deathbots make their home in Asheville, NC among the freaks, weirdos, and white dudes named Chad that just moved here from Charlotte and are totally down to brewery hop on the South Slope. It’s widely accepted in Asheville that everything was better a few years ago and the Deathbots do their part by making the punk rock that your older sister used to listen to before she sold out and went to law school. Holy Crap Records describes the sound as a “brawling mix between Bad Religion and Johnny Cash, that combo of super speedy melodic punk and killer bad-ass country.”
WNC Musicians for Change are musicians from Western North Carolina who are dedicated to using music to raise funds and awareness for worthwhile causes.
