Portishead released a brand new track, “Chase the tear”, for Amnesty International.

It is available as an exclusive download single from 7 digital with all earnings going towards Amnesty’s human rights work & all rights given to the organisation indefinitely.

International human rights day (10 December) marks the anniversary of the United Nation’s historic “Universal Declaration Of Human Rights” on 10 December 1948. The UDHR set out for the first time in a single document the fundamental rights to which everyone, everywhere is entitled – including the right to life, liberty, security, the freedoms of opinion, association and expression, and the right not to be subjected to torture or cruel, inhumane and degrading treatment.

Great rework by HavocNdeeD of one of my all time favorites. I get goosebumps at mark 2:25.

Here’s a new track from the Vancouver-based rock act Fake Shark Real Zombie. It is a cover of Portishead’s “Sour Times” off the 1994 release Dummy. I like!
