Berlin post-punk/alt rock band Pink Turns Blue have aired the video for their new single "Not Gonna Take It".
This is the first taste of their 'TAINTED Tour-2022 EP', the 4-track collection will be released on September, synchronized with the launch of the tour in Seattle before dozens of shows across North America, followed by select dates in Spain, the UK and Germany. Formed in 1985, the band emerged from a divided Germany and, once again we find ourself in a difficult situation geopolitically, this new single written in defiance of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Frontman MIC JOGWER says this is "about standing up for oneself and for a better world. Yes, the powerful, the bullies and the rich have many resources to get their way and claim that wrong is right. And yes, we all have our moments where we feel helpless and depressed because there doesn’t seem any way out of this cunning system of lies, propaganda, lobbying and influence. But every now and then, we just get fed up and decide we are not going to take it anymore. We find ways to break free, organize and fight for the things that are worth fighting for. Right now, it seems very difficult, at times impossible, naïve and all too idealistic. But if we give up fighting, we give up living. It is an uphill battle, but our defiance and our courage keep us going."
The band's latest album 'Tainted', came out in September 2021 via Orden Records. Get copy here if you haven't already.
