FOR FANS OF: ANTI-FLAG, BAD BRAINS, RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE, DEAD PREZ, PUBLIC ENEMY INFORMATION: artist: RICANSTRUCTION title: “Love and Revolution” catalog #: R39 format: CD street date: Tuesday, July 13, 2004 genre: punk www: ricanstruction.net www.uprisingrecords.com Brandishing a furious fusion of subversive sounds and a militant message for the masses, the enigmatic anti-army known as Ricanstruction is ready to rise from the underground to take their musical mayhem to a riot near you. With Love + Revolution, their first release on Uprising Records, they have carefully cooked up a volatile, straight-in-your-face mixture of political punk, hardcore hip hop, rebel reggae and incendiary salsa, that screams like the seditious sonic soundtrack for a revolution you can dance to. Ricanstruction are joined by Chuck D of Public Enemy, Vernon Reid of Living Colour, Dead Prez, Chuck Treece of McRad/Pressure/Bad Brains, and other special guest on this Puerto punk party at ground zero... Called “the most dangerous band on the planet” by I-Propaganda magazine, the cult collective known as Ricanstruction was formed some time around 1997, by vocalist Not4Prophet, and riddim section subversives, Arturo and Joseph Rodriguez. The Rodriguez brothers were the bass and drum Boricua bombers who had held the beat down for everyone from post-Cro-Mag punk project Both Worlds, to blues great Johnny Copeland, to Nuyorican poet Pedro Pietri and the legendary salsa supergroup known as the Fania All Stars. Not4Prophet, was a poor mans poet known mostly for writing on “private” property, breaking windows, breaking laws and shouting in the street. Ricanstruction started out playing in the asphalt schoolyards and housing project playgrounds of Harlem, and the illegal squats and alternative-punk spaces of the Lower East Side in New York City, and could be seen and heard at nearly every political protest rally or demonstration you could possibly get arrested at. Along the way they recruited current guiterrorist Albizoo, and former Anti Product sub-verse singer Taina Delvalle Asili, and have released DIY underground records, performed for Latin-American insurgents and on military bombing zones, and continue to smash, subvert and otherwise screw up the status quo and make some dangerous music while they're at it. office: 949-300-3097 interviews, reviews, etc: [email protected] playlists, requests, etc: [email protected] advertising: [email protected]
