Read this: Musicians share support for George Floyd protests and Black Lives Matter
Following the death of George Floyd and the protests that soon followed, Kerrang! spoke to FEVER 333 frontman Jason Aalon Butler about justice, and how rock much “never shows up for black people”.
“Rock music specifically has benefitted from black bodies from the beginning of times, and it never shows up for black people,” he said. “The [rock media] has benefitted off of black culture and black music, and they need to continue to represent black culture in a way that is positive and understood. They should show up for black people, show up for trans people, show up for immigrant people, show up for everybody that literally helped comprise this music. Rock music has become homogenised, and very, very safe and it typically looks like a white, hetero normative male – and that is not rock music.”
