Every generation has its political rock band: The Fugs, The Clash…and Rage Against The Machine. RATM formed in Los Angeles in 1991 and released the self-titled debut a year later, one of the definitive CDs of the 90s. The cover featured the image of the “burning monk”, who burned himself to death in 1963: an ultimate image of commitment and protest. The music was a highly potent mix of metal, funk, rap, and anti-capitalist politics. They made two more albums and a hard-driving CD of cover versions of political or socially-conscious rock and rap songs (including Springsteen’s “Ghost of Tom Joad”) after which they fell victim to internal arguments, and split in 2000. But now they’re back. read full story / add a comment

The National Animal Rights Association staged another protest outside the Pearl Brasserie, on Saturday 12th July. We stayed there for over 2hours, had no hassle whatsoever on the night, and received a lot of support from passers-by. No Gardai were called, and the protest went without incident. We have already gotten 4 restaurants to stop serving this dish of cruelty, and we won't stop until we get a total ban on the import of foie gras in Ireland. If you'd like to get involved in our campaigns, or know of any restaurant not on our list that is serving foie gras, please get in touch. read full story / add a comment
