The cutting edge Dublin based Cassette label Diet of Worms are releasing a limited cassette compilation titled Hunger Is Violence, reinterpretations by Irish artists of Richard Berry’s garage rock classic Louie Louie, a song almost everybody can recognise, but almost nobody understands.
Investigated by the F.B.I for obscenities in the early 60’s, the song is one of the most covered ever and now we have Afterwardness, Anna Clock, Cool Girl, Natalia Beylis, pôt-pot, The Cube of Unknowing, The Usuals and White Sage et al contributing to this compilation.
The album’s liner notes are written by the award winning Irish novelist Kevin Barry (which should be worth the price alone) and all proceeds will be donated to the Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign (IPSC), a non-profit organization working to raise awareness of the human rights abuses faced by the Palestinian people and to campaign for their rights and freedoms.
