JCHC Slam and Dance Show - interviewed: FALSE IDLE
The J.C.H.C. Slam and Dance radio show features J.C.H.C. music, covering punk rock, hardcore, ska, rockabilly and more. Includes band interviews and an inside look at missionary and ministry work within the punk and hardcore scene! Hosted by Donovan de Necker from the South African Christian punk band, The Old-Timers. Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/JchcSlamAndDanceShow
On this show we interview a punk rock band out of Boise, Idaho, USA. They are FALSE IDLE!.
Their latest album, "Threat"is due for Release on the 15th May 2013 and is for fans of bands like The SWELLERS and ANTI-FLAG.
On their upcoming release: “Threat" is a stampede of punk rock assault, that oozes buckets of spikey hair, studded jacket, doc martin wearing punk rock. .
"Though this album is filled with Christian sentiments and convictions (the band members are all Christian), I would say this album is not just for Christians and feeds to a broader spectrum of people. For me, its a relevant autopsy of the kind of world we live in, giving a brief examination of the battles we fighting, the war at hand, the struggle between darkness and light, and gives a positive call to arms, putting forth a challenge to all, to stand up and not to except the Status quo of this world. Certainly that status qou won’t change if we are all sitting sit on our back-sides. So is this album worth purchasing? Yes!!!! Its serves without dissapointment." - The Metal Resource

What To Do When Your Azz Get’s Locked Up!
With the rapid expansion of the private prison industrial system, more human beings (inmates) are needed to increase the profit margin of the prison corporations. Legislation such as “Three Strikes Your In,” police procedures like “Stop and Frisk” and “Wrongful Convictions” help ensure private corporations have a growing supply of poor (mostly Black and Latino) citizens to increase the company’s bottom line. Certain citizens, by way of birth and social economic status, have a high statistical probability of being locked up. So what will you do if you’re locked up?
On Thursday April 18, 2013 at 6:00 PM eastern time, our guest will be Nancy Lockhart, M.J. the author of “Locked Up” what to do when your azz get’s locked up. Join us for an informative and lively discussion of prisons and the justice system.Tags: Nancy Lockhart Private Prison Justice System Wrongful Conviction Police Misconduct
