Paint It Black‘s single “Safe” has arrived as the third advance track from the Philadelphia hardcore outfit’s new album “Famine“. Explaining the inspiration behind this latest track, the band offered:
“What does it mean to feel entitled to safety in a world full of violence? If we prioritize our safety at the expense of the safety of others, how safe are any of us really? Plain and simple this is about problems with policing in the U.S. I started thinking critically about the role of law enforcement when I was a kid and I first heard The Jam’s, ‘In The City.’ Abuses of police power, and the general lack of accountability around such abuses, amounts to state- sanctioned violence, and black people bear the brunt of it. This doesn’t feel safe to me.”
“Famine” is headed for a November 03rd release on Revelation Records.
