INVALIDATION
a primal outcry to constantly being romantically, culturally, and politically objectified + projected on. This purge allows us to outwardly shapeshift into our unapologetic wildness removed from the cis-male, white, colonial gaze, and even from our trans+queer kin who replicate these violent paradigms. Through our own reclamation, we welcome in the space for other marginalized bodies to heal and reflect on their INVALIDATION, creating a web of collective healing, catharsis, and renewal.

EARTHBODY(S)
is a prayer and our reflections from leaving the concrete jungle and restoring in sacred lands, regenerative farms, community gardens, and QTBIPOC (Queer Trans Black Indigenous People of Color) sanctuary projects on Indigenous land. EARTHBODY(S) is an immersive journey about how we are stripped from our ancestral lands and pushed into cities suffering from COVID-19, food apartheid, the police state, and environmental racism.

UTOPIA
is a catharsis tool highlighting the anger of existing in an unjust society. We know we cannot stay hopeless, so we must destroy systems that have never served the people and our Earth. UTOPIA creates a moment for us to be angry so we can inspire each other to break the norms that society forces onto us, release our anger at these injustices, and bravely instead create our own moments of freedom - together. We recognize how both Mindanao and Kashmir are heavily militarized by the fascist governments of both India and Philippines so we weaponize our song UTOPIA as a way to create alliances and solidarity globally to uplift their resistance by mobilizing direct actions through bridging our beloved community of artists, organizers, and educators.


As mirrored fatality we weaponize our EP COCOON WEBS as a sonic metamorphosis container to a world numbing us with toxic forces. COCOON WEBS is a ferocious affirmation of chaos to harness our ancestral power, primal spirit, collective fury, and interconnectedness to our multiverse. EARTHBODY(S), INVALIDATION, and UTOPIA are restorative anthems to sustain us through the revolution towards land sovereignty, prison abolition, and liberation for all.

Our remastered COCOON WEBS EP for Aklasan Records (instagram.com/AklasanRecords) is our FIRST ever cassette which you can receive at our live performances or on (aklasanrecords [dot] bigcartel [dot] com). Aklasan Records is a d.i.y., independently run label with the decided purpose of distributing and providing exposure to Philippine and Filipino American hardcore and punk and hosts Aklasan Fest at Bindlestiff Studios: the ONLY Filipino punk festival held at the ONLY Filipino community arts center in Turtle Island/USA (www.npr.org/sections/pictureshow/2022/08/19/1116742810/san-francisco-aklasan-filipino-punk-festival-returns)

Salamat sobra Kuya Rupert for believing in us & being so caring, supportive, and dedicating time into releasing this for us and legend Sean Matsukawa and Blu Room Studios (instagram.com/bluroom_studios) for remastering our tracks and offering time and space.

Earthlodge Center for Transformation

The Earthlodge Center for Transformation (Earthlodge) firmly roots itself in the Black Southern Indigenous healing traditions and legacies that the founder, Queen Hollins, learned from her grandmother as a child while coming of age at the tail end of Jim Crow. This strategic approach applies the community’s interdependence and skillsets developed out of survival and mitigate the effects of mental illness, racism, sexism, and homophobia for BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, people of color), Two-Spirit, LGBTQIA+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer, intersex, sexual, and other non-heterosexual people), women and youth, and allies of intersectional backgrounds.

A local to global advocacy network that amplifies the calls to action of frontline environmental and human rights defenders in Mindanao, Philippines. Liyang Network envisions a future where all communities can pursue their economic, social, and cultural development free from exploitation. We believe that applying the particular knowledge developed by grassroots communities in the Philippines is essential to realizing this vision. As members of the local and international community, we understand that all struggles for environmental protection are interconnected and that global movements for the defense of land and self-determination can draw inspiration from the struggles in the Philippines.
