We put together this album of songs from 1985 that have been written about Palestine and the occupation over the last 20+ years. Feel free to download for free but with it seemingly being bandcamp Friday and all, any and all money you contribute will be sent to our friend from Rafah who has been working to support children and families suffering under occupation for his whole adult life.

Is it bandcamp Friday?!? Consider buying them some excellent tunes from our catalogue archives of amazing, heartfelt (mostly) PNW DIY underground artists. All albums are freely downloadable but if you choose to donate any and ever penny you send us will go to communities on the ground in Gaza suffering under the weight of famine, a blockade on aid and constant bombing and destruction. Give your loved ones some fine tunes and support children and families surviving through and recovering from the trauma of the ongoing occupation of Palestine.

MASA Records is a homespun, low-fi & DIY not-for-profit label where artists donate the money raised from releases to charitable organizations & social, political and cultural causes of their choosing. We've been around for 25 yrs now with over 120 cassette, CD-R, Vinyl & online releases. LUX ETERN!....

hi all. i think it is bandcamp Friday? we've bee stirring the soup on a new band for a few months now and put together a couple demo songs to share back in November to help raise money for a friend from Rafah who is connected to a lot of grassroots community groups in his hometown. He has done a lot of work in the past working with youth traumatized by the ongoing occupation and violence in Gaza and all the money you might donate to download these otherwise free songs will go to him to help support families right now on the ground in Gaza. Thanks for listening and contributing if you are able!

New band alert! mentioned this a couple weeks ago but wanted to share as we're raising money to go to Rafah. Thanks to those who have thrown some dollars to us to pass along! "hi friends. New band alert! Matt (i, cordyceps and 1985), Tina (Memes, More Humanimal) and Mark (Rooftops, Lands Farther East, Treasures) have been playing some music together for the last four months. We finally "settled" on a band name and have been recording some of our early jams. With all that is going on in Palestine, we decided to share some of our songs, including a cover of Low's Murderer, in an effort to raise a bit of funds for relief in Gaza. We are excited to be writing music together and sharing it with friends. These are just super rough demos, so go easy on us, more to come down the road as we are working on about nine songs or so. It's been a hoot!" https://sylvaniamoons.bandcamp.com/album/free-palestine

Just a reminder today of this collection of 1985 songs that was pulled together a few weeks ago of songs that band has written Palestine over the last 20+ years. Sending all the money raised from this album to a friend of ours from Rafah who has done great work in community in Gaza supporting children and families suffering from PTSD, trauma and the violent effects of the occupation. All money you donate will go to support those on the ground now suffering under this brutal and illegal assault in Gaza. More info in the album description. Thank you for all who have donated so far.

With all that has been going on, I decided to pull together an album of songs I have written about Palestine over the last 20+ years. Some of you are familiar with some of these but I wanted to pool them together in an album in an effort to try and raise some money for Gazan friends I have who are connected on the ground. These friends have a history with their organizations of providing social, cultural and therapeutic support primarily for children who are living through decades of terror, trauma and PTSD from the illegal occupation. Feel free to download for free, or contribute some money. Reach out if you want to know more about where the money is going. Please keep up the effort for a permanent ceasefire, an opening of the borders to hundreds of trucks a day of aid, an ending of our tax money funding the illegal occupation and always always always BDS. https://masarecords.bandcamp.com/album/free-palestine

Not too many of the Lands Farther East/Seizures split 7-inch records made it out when we first released this 20 some years ago but there will be 100-150 copies available at the What's Up show tomorrow (link in comments). The band will have these along with their other merch at a pay what you can merch table, with all proceeds going to BOP / Camp210 mutual aid (link in comments).
