We are just a bit excited to be launched oursubversivevoice.com today – our project website featuring 750 protest songs across 420 years, many in great detail, and everything from case studies and guest blogs to interviews with the likes of @billybragg
We are delighted to bring you a new post by historian @ArielHessayon of @GoldsmithsUoL
It's all about one of the most storied protest songs in English history, The Diggers' Song, and it's here:

With cold and rainy weather all around, why not look back to summer 2022 with this record of the Our Subversive Voice protest music project @LatitudeFest. There's singing, shouting - and some decent talking - plus an appearance from the inestimable Laura Bates of @EverydaySexism.

OSV greets the new year with a deeply good bit of thinking by composer and activist @UriAgnon on 'indeterminate music' – writing pieces that make the performers' actions matter. Also on smuggling violins into the British Museum for a rowdy protest...

Interesting list of ‘top 10’ 2022 protest albums via @shadowproofcom. Good to find UK music: @BobbyVylan (the excellent Price of Life LP) & Scotland's @Ashenspire_ "sonic exploration" of hostile architecture. One for @SubversiveSong to RT.

Can our musical choices resonate outside the concert hall?
I wrote for the excellent @SubversiveSong about indeterminate music & activism, looking at performers' choices in a @dropbp protest-performance and in the @SUSOrchestra commissioned 'Or Never'.
