Politically-minded NC musicians roll out new music in October

As November's mid-term elections near, the politically-minded musicians of the NC Music Love Army are rolling out a new EP every Tuesday in October. Yesterday saw the release of "My Body Politic" by Love Army co-founder Caitlin Carey and Shirlette Ammons.

"You Can't Tear Us Down" by Chapel Hill's I Was Totally Destroying It was released earlier this month. It also features members of Unifier.

Both include remixes and the I Was Totally Destroying It track is backed with a song by Lutie Cain. Both are available on the Love Army's Bandcamp page along with last year's full-length album, "We Are Not For Sale" and the remix EP of Carolina Chocolate Drops' Rhiannon Giddens' song "We Rise."

"Senator's Lament" and "Train Coming" will be released October 21 and 28, respectively. These follow the September release of co-founder and Charlotte pop songwriter Jon Lindsay's "Dear Mr. McCrory,"
