Evan Greer Teams Up With Downtown Boys’ Victoria Ruiz on New Song “Pinkwashing”: Listen

When someone sings about “a rainbow-colored fighter jet dropping bombs on children,” what context do you really need? Do you need to hear about Israel’s genocidal campaign and how people try to defend it by claiming that Israel is more tolerant of its LGBTQ population than the rest of the Middle East? This should be pretty obvious, right? I hope this is obvious enough.

This phrase comes from “Pinkwashing,” the new song by artist and activist Evan Greer. The track is a fittingly angry post-punk panic, and Greer shares lead vocals with former Downtown Boys frontwoman Victoria Ruiz. The release of “Pinkwashing” raises funds for the Palestinian youth movementand you can hear it below.

The single “Pinkwashing” is available now on Get Better Records; buy it at band camp.
