Even If Your Voice Shakes… is a seasonal zine/CD publication focusing on modern anti-capitalist folk music. The zine contains the writings of its publishers, interviews with musicians and activists, lyrics and chords, reviews of albums and generally anything else we feel like printing. The CD contains a mix of songs from various artists who we’ve run into in radical underground folk circles.

Though genres like hip-hop and punk could be called “folk”, we focus on “American Folk” music as a genre because we write and perform it and are familiar with many artists, though sometimes we may throw in some hip-hop, punk, poetry, or whatever, because we dig that too. Our aim is to help revolutionary folk musicians get their words and messages out, to express thoughts on current political situations, and to put out radical critiques and views of the recording-industry, the growing corporatization of radical political music, and some examples of and theories on alternative ways of going about being a radical musician.

We’re open to critique, suggestions, and submissions, though please don’t take it personally if you write something and we don’t print it.
