Radio Silence NYC respond to bullying with music video "Renegade"


Today I was told about this young band Radio Silence NYC. Above is their video for their song "Renegade," which is a response to bullying. It follows two girls around with live band footage taken at Brooklyn's all ages space Death By Audio. The poppy track with some rockin' riffs hits home in the wake all the hateful bullying in the country regarding LGBTQ youth. The band sings "hatred is the enemy." These teens are speaking out and noticing that hatred needs to stop. They've teamed up with cause organization Do Something to spread their important message.

“We wrote the song over the summer calling out the hate we see daily.  As we were thinking of a concept for the video, these stories started surfacing and we felt like we had to get our message out there. This is real and people need to understand that,” says Zach, lead singer.
