Hardcore punk rockers of color need more attention. Despite punk ideology being largely anti-racism, the face of the punk scene has historically been really fucking white. When you think of punk rock, your mind goes to the Clash, Bad Religion, etc. etc. -- essentially, completely white bands. While these artists get the spotlight, much of the spirit of punk rock is made up by POC. Punk is angry at institutions. Punk wants things to change. Black people faced with systemic racism and suppression at every turn are angry, want things to change, and put out really fucking good music about it. You've heard of Bad Brains. And there's a shit ton of other PROC (punk rockers of color) who deserve a listen and a cult following. From TCIYF (The Cum In Your Face, often described as "the voice of South African youth") to FUPU (Fuck U Pay Us, a kickass all-black femme punk band), there are so many black bands fighting racism with badass music and historic shows. Stop listening to the same old white dudes. Start listening to PROC.

Originally appeared on Grimy Goods. 

For a Tuesday night, the Moroccan Lounge was buzzing particularly loudly. Kelsey Lu is a significant draw for audiences, with her growing reputation as a multi-instrumentalist and songwriter. She began as a cellist, studying classical composition as early as age six. Her mind continues to dip into that well of knowledge, giving her a unique style that magazines clamored over when she released her debut EP two years ago. Now Kelsey Lu is gearing up to tell a longer story through a full-length album which is due out later this year; she gave audiences a taste at her very first LA headlining show.
