Liberty & Justice Share Bandcamp Friday MY AMERICA EP with "cachito's song redux" for Wade Allison & Riley Gale (sisster sound)

Last Friday was yet another Bandcamp Friday event, wherein Bandcamp have vowed to waive 100% of their revenue share on all sales on the first Friday of every month giving musicians more money from each purchase. One of our personal favorites, Houston, Texas-based Skinhead Punk/Hardcore crew Liberty & Justice, returned just in time with another exclusive Bandcamp Friday special. It's a quick-strike 3-track EP entitled my america. Liberty & Justice made a number of exclusive packages available, including a 32-piece run of limited press cassette tapes, a limited edition "yellow a** shirt," a special T-shirt/tape combo, and, of course, digital EP. While we purchased one of the last my america EP cassettes (there are currently ONE 13 left!) on Bandcamp Friday, we reached out to East End Barber owner and Liberty & Justice frontman Ryan "Crowns" Taylor this weekend for some additional information concering said release.


"my america is a small collection of tracks recorded over late Summer 2020 in our practice space by our guitarist, Ramzi Beshara. It's our attempt at encapsulating the climate of our personal lives and our community over the past eight months. We've, personally, witnessed too many deaths close to us in the past few months; countless friends and loved ones sick. Numerous friends and loved ones out of work, businesses shutting down, while major corporations get bail-outs," Ryan Taylor explained, via email. "Common sense scoffed at... fighting for the marginalized and pushing against injustice thought of as some sort of Communist ploy. We're, truly, living in some sort of wild Rod Serling story. So, we recorded a new one that Halston [Luna] had written the riff for (if you listen to the hook, it's a Paul Abdul song [on] "a new town,") then, "solitary confinement," which is a [The] Members cover, and, then, decided to breathe new life into "cachitos song" by doing an acoustic version of it," he continued.


Also, when we asked about this mysterious photo posted to @libertyandjusticeofficial's Instagram page over ther weekend, Ryan Crowns responded: "That photo is of me and the singer of Killer Hearts. We're releasing a split 7-inch with them, hopefully, sooner than later." Yes, it appears as though Liberty & Justice and their fellow Houston-bred Glam Rock/Punk counterparts Killer Hearts are cooking up a sizzlin' hot split 7-inch together! We strongly recommend checking out both Liberty & Justice and Killer Hearts on their respective Bandcamp pages. Liberty & Justice's previously released collection of charitable one-offs, non-album singles, and unexpected covers is now available on Bandcamp, along with an exclusive track-by-track breakdown concocted exclusively for The Witzard. Liberty & Justice's my america EP is now available on Bandcamp (even though Bandcamp Friday has passed) as well as digital streaming platforms, via sisster sound.

"Let Me Shine for You:" Lindsay Lohan for Playboy (Winter 2011-12 Leak)

Lindsay Lohan essentially embodies exactly "What NOT to Do In Hollywood :" Fame, fortune, success... sex, drugs & Rock "N" Roll . Within a fairly short period of time, Lohan somehow managed to obtain a plentiful helping of POWER @ a very young age. This gradual rise-downfall was captured on film; Between 1998-2010, she portrayed a wide array of roles across the silver screen in movies including: Mean Girls, Bobby , Herbie Fully Loaded , Georgia Rule, Machete , and Freaky Friday . Between rapid-paced film shoots, Lindsay Lohan also found time to record 2 Pop Rock albums for Casablanca , Speak (2004) and A Litter More Personal-Raw (2005). Needless to say, Lindsay Lohan has gotten roped up in a lot of troubles and woes with the law over the last 3-5 years... a vicious cycle of drugs, arrest, court, rehab, "daddy issues," jail time [Repeat]. That's the pure basics of it - But Google that shit for additional info, if necessary. Towards the end of...

Pop Artist & Surfer Chronicle Intriguing Ex-Pornstar In "SASHA GREY."

Seemingly made to co-exist as thought-provoking companion pieces... "LINDSAY LOHAN" directors Richard Phillips & Taylor Steele are back with their most recent Art Presentation, "SASHA GREY." The 90-second short film was shot in early May @ John Lautner Chemosphere House in Los Angeles, CA. Both striking flicks will be shown on a giant floating video screen [ "Commercial Break" ] @ Garage Center for Contemporary Culture in Venice, Italy (June 1-5). "Adult acting chops" aside, Sasha (23) seems very intelligent, captivating, free-spirited, business savvy, well-mannered, charming... and dare I say, "average." And I really think that's exactly what Phillips/Steele were trying to convey throughout the course of the piece; Grey's beauty, public draw, sheer likeability, and honesty will surely take her very far in future endeavors... Solidifying her [updated] image as a true "Pop Culture Figure." * Featured soundtra...

Jet Planes, Islands, Tigers On a Gold Leash: Lorde - "Royals" (The Weeknd Remixo)

I think it's pretty safe to say that The Weeknd (Abel Tesfaye) comfortably teeters the fine line between glitched-out smooth New Age R&B and hard-hitting Hip-Hop ; while the same could arguably be said for 16-year-old New Zealand new-comer, Lorde . Her break-out single "Royals" 1/2 jokingly shouts out semi-common bravado-worthy shit like: diamonds, "gold teeth, Grey Goose ... Cadillacs, Cristal, Maybach ... jet planes, islands, [and] tigers on a gold leash." But now, the Lorde/Weeknd connection has been further solidified, as Tesfaye recently managed to conjure up and release his own "Royals" remix. My beautiful girlfriend said earlier, and I paraphrase, that it "makes her wanna dance lol and she could [likely] hear this remix in a future movie!" Following the wide-spread release of her first 2 EP's (Love Club & Tennis Court) , Universal Republic plans to unleash Lorde 's proper debut album, Pure Heroine between ...
