The citizens of Lynchburg have awakened however… And we have awakened with some words on our lips: "Racial bias has no place in this city!" And we leave you with four words: "NOT IN MY CITY" Not in my city will we allow racism to exist. Not in my city will we allow the pestilence of hatred to run rampant in our streets So, what have we done? We decided that we - the citizens - will select who represents us, our wishes in legislation and in policy. We will choose the appropriate culture that underpins the law enforcement professional that patrol our streets. Police officers are grand individuals. My brother is one. I serve this community as a chaplain. But I also know that this man who killed Mr. Floyd is a benefactor of a culture that targets members of a black & brown community and hunts them on a routine basis. My children have cried out to me, "Speak for me so I can breathe!" I stand here to speak for them. It is therefore concluded that the following conditions must be met to satisfy the demands of this task force to ensure that antiracism - IT'S NOT ENOUGH NOT TO BE RACIST We need to be actively antiracist - in our measures both in theory and in practice (it's not enough simply to say it with empty words): #1 - chokeholds and neck restraints policy must be adopted by the Police to outlaw its use and provide sanctions and disciplinary actions to include imprisonment for its violators. There must be transparency in the disciplinary records of these police officers that aid us in our city. We give them the right to protect us! Adopt a training model that produces guardians not warriors. YOU'RE NOT AT WAR WITH ITS CITIZENS! • Training in de-escalation techniques . • Specialized training monitoring officers with complaint records. • Mandated use of body cams. • Thoughts & published strategies for community policing. • Mental fitness of officers. • Military-style equipment is no longer needed. • Implement a policy that prohibits the use of the "no-knock" warrant. And, in conclusion, let me remind you... NOT IN OUR CITY! NOT IN OUR CITY! NOT IN OUR CITY! NOT IN OUR CITY!

about

Joey and Nathan have been contemplating a record that mimics their live performances since dropping their debut LP - "Deaf Sharp" - back in 2017. The seasons since have found honeybrandy sharing stages with guitar focused acts (Andrew Weathers, Soporus) as well as acts that lean into electronic aether (Benjamin Mauch, Oahu). The duo studied, taking notes on various methods of composition and presentation.

"Deaton Forestbrook" showcases both artists' penchant for the balance of drone and rhythm. "Which Are Not Pronounced" and "Not In Our City" lean into programmed drum loops while "These Words" finds layer after layer of synth and lap steel swarming around meditative instruction. The entire back half of the release is a single long form piece that could easily score a fever dream.

about

honeybrandy Lynchburg, Virginia

Initially formed to play a local gallery opening, the duet showcases a beauty in subtle layer manipulation with lo-fi charm. Where early recordings rely on a tendency for improvisation over set structures, the more recent output utilizes more rhythmic foundation to balance feelings of isolation, distance, & fear with solace, presence, & hope. ... more
