Rivetheads Against Nazi Thugs (RANT)

RANT is a new political movement inspired by the SHARP movement. The SHARP movement was started when a group of neo-nazi’s were infiltrating the punk/oi scene with fascist politics. The SHARP’s decided they weren’t going to tolerate these white power bands having control of their subculture. They decided to create social change by any means necessary.

Since the SHARP’s finally stomped the neo-nazi’s out of the punk/oi movement they turned to goth/industrial/powernoise. We do not need to tolerate this. We are sick of seeing these douchebags at the shows we attend. We are sick of their hateful attacks against people who aren’t a part of “their brotherhood” and their misuse of ancient symbols. Their thug mentality is not what industrial is about. This is not the mafia. This is music.

The neofolk bands with fascists beliefs have already been exposed and pushed underground. It is now the dark electro/powernoise bands with fascist politics that are causing problems within our scene. It is time to stomp these idiots out once and for all.

RANT was founded by Rachel Haywire (Experiment Haywire | machineKUNT Records) in November of 2009 after she was violently attacked at a show and received threats against her life as a musician of Jewish ancestry. She has been the target of libel/slander, identity fraud, serial harassment, psychological abuse, and gangstalking for the purpose of keeping her silent but continues to speak out in the name of justice.

Mission:

-To promote a more tolerant subculture
-To put an end to racist/fascist/homophobic attacks against people in our scene
-To stop white power artists from dominating the genre
-To make this about the music once again
