Northern Irish political punk guerilla’s THE BARBITURATES
have a new fully topical record titled WAR IS OBSOLETE out,
digitally, on Bandcamp.

Here’s a message from their HQ in Londonderry.

“All PROCEEDS go to innocent victims of war in Palestine. WAR IS OBSOLETE THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO BENEFIT FROM WAR IS THE 1% THAT MAKE PROFITS ON DEATH FEAR AND DISRUCTION – END ALL WARS NOW – WHO NEEDS ACTIONS WHEN YOUVE GOT WORDS?? LOVE IS THE ANSWER – HEAVEN IS NOW – STOP MAKING IT HELL BUCKY AR LA – TAKE CONTROL!

“Some of The 1% are investors in the great big industrial war machine – the clearing / repairing of war torn cities / countries and rebuilding them along with there big pharma – food n supplies companies ect they make massive profits on all levels of war from the bullets n bombs fired to the food n medicine and everything you can imagine in between – this collection of sound scapes and anti war songs on this guerrilla ontological discordant meditation Ep are our SMALL way of trying to help raise money for the innocent human beings being punished and hurt because of other people’s ignorance – hate – fear – oppression!! ALL THE PROCEEDS OUR DIGITAL SALES NOW AND UNTIL THINGS INPROVE WILL GO TO THESE PEOPLE!!”

TUTV: The Barbiturates care about our messed-up society, about humanity, about the weak, the poor and the outsiders, about tolerance, about inclusivity, about the desperate need for global peace. Couldn’t agree more.

Unfortunately, all the caring in the world can’t avoid (another) dirty war. After Russia invaded Ukraine early last year, Israel and Palestine started a filthy, deadly war in Gaza two weeks ago. Horrible, just horrible, again. One day a devastating world catastrophe will end it all.

War Is Obsolete is a serene and gripping work of music that’ll make you silent now and then, sonically with its, mostly instrumental, psychedelic jams with Eastern vibes here and there, and lyrically with loud and clear words describing the evil terror caused by war-and-power greedy scumbags. The late great pacifist John Lennon never understood these murderous maniacs either, as we know it.

Purchase this record, digitally, 5£ or more.
All proceeds got to PCRF – Palestine Children’s Relief Fund.
