This past Wednesday, October 08th, Run For Cover Records announced their participation in the ‘No Music For Genocide’ movement. As the label themselves put it:
“Run For Cover Records is participating in @nomusicforgenocide, a cultural boycott of Israel in protest of the country’s ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people.
We have submitted a label-wide digital takedown specifically in the territory of Israel.”
The label’s roster includes numerous artists of note, some of which include:
AFI
Angel Du$t
Basement
Fury
Narrow Head
One Step Closer
Pelican
Portrayal Of Guilt
Rival Schools
Turnover
Run For Cover‘s decision to participate in the ban arrived on the same day that U.S. President Donald Trump announced that Israel and Hamas have reached an agreement in a tentative peace deal to bring the Israel Gaza war to an end.
According to nomusicforgenocide.org, over 1,000 artists have participated in this digital streaming ban in Israel so far, including Paramore, Amyl And The Sniffers, Enter Shikari, Lorde, Show Me The Body and countless others.
