Mountain-saving music from 2/3 Goat goes national
Posted November 22, 2011 in Curbing Pollution, Environmental Justice, Health and the Environment
Great news for Music Saves Mountains member band, 2/3 Goat! The New-York-based act uses "metrobilly" music as a platform to spread the word about mountaintop removal and why it must be stopped. Earlier this year, the group successfully funded a new video on the theme of MTR through grassroots donations.
Now, they're being featured at AOL Music, alongside the likes of Michael Jackson and Daughtry. All this week, you'll be able to stream their new album Stream of Conscience at AOL Music's listening party page.
The new album digs deeply into the theme of an Appalachia under attack but still defiant. And as one reviewer put it, "in the spirit of great socially aware performers from Phil Ochs to Johnny Cash, 2/3 Goat don’t preach: instead, they paint vivid pictures with their songs." It makes for absorbing music that this blogger will definitely be queuing up for the Thanksgiving drive.
Congratulations to this talented and committed group of artists. We can't wait to see what they create next.
