Run For Cover Records to Participate in No Music for Genocide by Pulling Catalog From Spotify

Now here’s something we can get behind. Without getting into the nitty gritty (not that I need to, since you can just look around you), a new movement within the music community is prompting artists and labels to remove their catalogs from Spotify and other streaming services as part of No Music for Genocide. Among them now is Boston indie label Run For Cover Records.

So far, No Music for Genocide has over 1000 artists and labels of varying genres participating, including acts like Enter Shikari, Show Me the Body, Eartheater, Topshelf Records, Leaving Records, Ruptured Records, and hella more. The point of this digital boycott is mainly to prevent music from streaming in Israel, but extends to any country actively participating in genocide in any kind of way.

The label shared the following statement on their participation:

“Run For Cover Records is participating in @nomusicforgenocide, a cultural boycott of Israel, in protest of the country’s ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people.

“We have submitted a label-wide digital takedown specifically in the territory of Israel.
Join the boycott and learn more at the link in bio.”

Of Run For Cover artists specifically, their roster is definitely taking a little notch out of what we listen to over here. We’re gonna see music pulled by artists like:

AFI
Angel DuSt
Anxious
Basement
Citizen
Cursive
Fiddlehead
Fury
Narrow Head
One Step Closer
Pelican
Portrayal of Guilt
Rival Schools
Turnover
