The Muslims - "Fuck These Fuckin Fascists"

    

  The Muslims (https://www.facebook.com/TheMuzlimz/) are QADR (vocals/guitar), Abu Shea (bass), and Ba7ba7 (drums). They're from Durham, North Carolina and are a "crunchy, kickass punk band of Black + brown queer muzzies" whose intention is to bring us a healthy serving of "political satire, spandex and radical extremism. Black/Brown queer shit." They've previously featured on here with a couple of raging songs (Fuck The Cistem & Punch A Nazi) and they return today with an equally incendiary new single. 

  

  It's a song with an important message. 

“I started writing this song during Donald Trump’s first impeachment trial and finished it during the attempted coup,” recalls vocalist QADR. “What a time to be alive. As a person who fits the description of a so-called ‘Black Identity Extremist,’ I find it funny that our music and message, calling out racist violence, makes people more uncomfortable than actual racist violence. At least we’re cute, tender, and funny af. Artists are the truth-tellers throughout history, and we’re just speaking our truth. Fascism was never wiped out, it just got more polite and calls itself a Richard Spencer now, whatever that is. We’re going to speak truth to power and have a damn good time doing it. I hope our fans (aka Munks) get some coded message about destroying capitalism and the patriarchy, but only if they play it backwards. I hope this song inspires the next Munk to be themselves: to mosh in the mirror, cuss out racists, steal plant clippings from government buildings, and support their local Co-ops.”

  It's their first release since signing to Epitaph and you can get it here :  https://themuslims.bandcamp.com/album/fuck-these-fuckin-fascists

  Sing it loud, Fuck These Fucking Fascists...

"WE ARE FUCKING ANGRY"

  Thus reads the banner on the Facebook page of Durham (North Carolina) punk rappers The Muslims (https://www.facebook.com/TheMuzlimz/). And it's true, they are. Very. Listed amongst their "likes" are Black Punks. Brown Punks. Femme Punks. Ghetto Punks. GNC Punks. Ratchet Punks. Dyke/Trans/Queer/Faggy Punks. Punks who piss on Nazi graves... What they don't like are racists, homophobes, bigots, the intolerant and Donald "fuckface" Trump.

  They're an all queer, black & brown trio featuring Qadr (vocals/guitar), FarraH BaHbaH (drums) and Abu Shea (bass). They mix up punk, afropunk, hardcore and rap-rock. They're direct in their verbal attacks but they certainly aren't po-faced whiners. They add plenty of biting satire to their incendiary songs.

  They've recently released a new album titled Gentrified Chicken. It let's rip at the usual targets but does it in a style that makes it seem fresh and vital. White power goons who blame everything on Mohammad, trigger happy cops, government surveillance, gentrification, inequality etc... There's even a "sort of" Blink-182 cover!

  This track hits out at the relics of a dying system, the flag flying proud boys and the racist establishment that enables them. It's a great companion song to the Bob Vylan track I featured a couple of weeks ago (http://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2020/03/bob-vylan-we-live-here-guest-review-by.html). It's called Punch A Nazi...

Punch a Nazi
Punch a Nazi
Punch a Nazi
Punch a Nazi

Punch that Nazi in the face
Knock his teeth back in his brain
And if that inbred scum gets up
Kick that cracka in his gut

Punch that Nazi in the face
Make sure that he’s seeing stars
And when that khaki bag comes to
Beat him till he’s black and blue

Beat him up
Best him up, beat him up, beat him up, beat him up
Point em out
Point em our, point em out, point em out, point em out
Beat him up
Best him up, beat him up, beat him up, beat him up
Point em out
Point em our, point em out, point em out, point em out

Punch that Nazi in the face
Knock his ass into outerspace
When that fucking bitch comes down
Drag his ass through sundown town

Punch that Nazi in the gut
Beat him till he’s pissing blood
Make him say your fuckin name
Tear that ass up all the same

Beat him up
Best him up, beat him up, beat him up, beat him up
Point em out
Point em our, point em out, point em out, point em out
Beat him up
Best him up, beat him up, beat him up, beat him up
Point em out
Point em our, point em out, point em out, point em out

We want peace so we’ll beat your ass to pieces
You’d kill us so your death with bring us justice
You’re a relic of a dying fucking system
Take the proud boys with them
And all the KKK Killer Cops

Punch that Nazi in the balls
Whoop his ass til he fuckin falls
If that mayo bread talks back
Jam that marten in his crack

Punch that Nazi in the throat
That should keep his no-lips shut
Noose that flag around his neck
Tell the boys to string him up

Beat him up
Best him up, beat him up, beat him up, beat him up
Point em out
Point em our, point em out, point em out, point em out
Beat him up
Best him up, beat him up, beat him up, beat him up
Point em out
Point em our, point em out, point em out, point em out
Beat him up

Punch a Nazi
Punch a Nazi
Punch a Nazi
Punch a Nazi

   

The Muslims - Fuck The Cistem

  The Muslims are a hardcore rock-rap politically motivated all queer black and brown punk trio that burst forth out of Durham, New York, "following the inauguration of Donald (fuckface) Trump." Lining up with Laylatul Qadr (lead vocals/guitar), FaraH BaHbaH (drums) and Abu Shea (bass) I think it's fair to say they aren't your typical band. Not for the faint of heart they're only too willing to speak out against "oppression, racism and white people problems." They've recently released new album Mayo Supreme (on Don't Panic Records) and damn, it rocks. It's a fuck you from the heart. Check it out....   https://themuslims.bandcamp.com/

  The music will have you bouncing off the walls, the lyrics will get you thinking. The album is an important critique of modern society and should be heard by a wider audience. It reminds me a little of one of last year's best releases (Material Support's Terror Prone Nation   https://materialsupport.bandcamp.com/).

  This song starts slow, asking the question why are men such fucking trash? before exploding into a joyfully upbeat attack on 50% of the human race. You think you're a good guy? They don't buy it and they certainly don't trust you. If you don't enjoy getting poked with a big pointy stick then this might not be for you. For the rest of us, enjoy. Fuck The Cistem...

Why are men such fucking trash 
You hinge on dominance to last 
You chase the money to catch the ass 
I’ll pay for dinner, nigga 
I’ll hold the door, you cracka 

So fuck the system 
Fuck these cisdudes 
they are useless 
It is proof that men are trash. 

So fuck the system 
Fuck these cisdudes 
they are useless 
It is proof that men are trash. 
We’ll reproduce without your ass — and that’s scary 

Why don’t you admit that you hate women 
Reject your compliments, and you get violent 
You say that you’re the good guy, we don’t buy it. 
I don’t trust you in close space 
I don’t trust you in no space 

So fuck the system 
Fuck these cisdudes 
they are useless 
It is proof that men are trash. 

So fuck the system 
Fuck these cisdudes 
they are useless 
It is proof that men are trash. 
We’ll reproduce without your ass — and that’s scary 

So fuck the system 
Fuck these cisdudes 
they are useless 
It is proof that men are trash. 

So fuck the system 
Fuck these cisdudes 
they are useless 
It is proof that men are trash. 
We’ll reproduce without your ass 
I say me too - and it’s fuckin sad 
I’ve gotta prove that shit to you 
Though I’m sure you had a clue. 
There are predators in your crew — and that’s scary
