American Art, New Jersey


"Each day we are bombarded with a barrage of psychic & symbolic tyranny by forces of those who wish to control us. A plethora of Images, Sounds, Smells and Colors all of which have beaten us into a fearful, distressed and toxic society. We have been made so weak it now has become easy to manipulate and control us. So much that we willingly shackle ourselves to the devices and labels of our oppressors. It is in our best interest to become symbol literate and harness the power of these ancient archetypes thus applying them as a technology in what now has become a struggle for the one and only truest of truths, LOVE..."

So goes the manifesto of this band, American Cloud Songs, whose songs I didn't listen to. Made up of a bunch of tattooers from New Jersey, it's really just all about this guy's art. There's a shitload of it. Take a look.
