The Radio Dept. släpper ny låt inför valet

Tar ställning mot nazisterna.

Det politiska valet närmar sig med stormsteg – ett val som av många beskrivs som ett ödesval med stora konsekvenser. Inför senaste riksdagsvalet i Sverige valde The Radio Dept. att släppa ny musik, nu gör man det igen, och denna gång riktar man stark kritik mot den utbredda rasismen och nazisterna som intagit offentliga rum.

Nya singeln Going Down Swinging släpps nu på fredag den 31 augusti och om låten skriver de så här:

The Swedish national election is coming up and that means we’re putting out a new single. What else could we do? There are references to church bells in the lyrics, listeners from outside of Sweden might want to know this: In May 2014 and on a couple of occasions since, churches in Sweden have been ringing their bells during nazi marches to warn the public. Before 2014 this hadn’t been done since 1939. Because of the huge problems we have with increasing racism in our country it is a very welcome gesture. Personally we don’t believe in gods but we do believe nazis and their peers – however they choose to present or disguise themselves – should be dealt with like in World War II.
