Jeff Rosenstock has dropped a new video for his track ‘Scram!’.
It’s a song from his fourth full-length ‘No Dream’, which arrived back in May following on from 2015’s ‘We Cool?’, 2016’s ‘Worry.’, and 2018’s ‘POST-‘,
“I started writing ‘Scram!’ after being inspired by the kids from Parkland High standing up to the behemoth that is the gun lobby,” he says. “The last four years (and let’s be honest, my entire life) have felt like we are up against an unconquerable force of evil that thrives on violence and inequality. It was a rare bright spot to see thousands of people say ‘hey, we’re gonna be able to vote in the next election, and we are going to vote you the fuck out.’
“It was also inspired by the other side – the politicians and lobbyists who promote regressive policies that perpetuate the consolidation of power to the super rich at the expensive of everyone else’s lives – having the audacity to demand “civility” from students who have watched their classmates get murdered and are tired of going to school in fear.
“Fuck that. Capitalism is the root of greed is the root of violence. You have bought your control, but more and more people are starting to see through that. I wanted to write a song that felt like a ‘Fuck you, your days are numbered’ to the powers that be.”
