After a long and indefinate hiatus, we have decided to go back on the air to bring you voices from a recent demonstration held by Tyneside Community Activists for Refugees and Fight Racism, Fight Imperialism - two very reputable organisations doing fantastic work. Please support them.

"On Saturday 20th June 2009 Tyneside Community Action for Refugees (TCAR) organised a Northern March Against Immigration Prisons.

Yes, thats right. Back in 2007, shortly after being involved with the recording and distribution of Uni Wrong’s final record, we practically vomited at the idea of ever being involved with anything regarding “musicians” ever again.
