The Rebel Beat is Firebrand Records podcast of radical political music across different genres, and across different continents, hosted and produced by Aaron Maiden on unceded Mohawk territory in Montreal. It is the mixtape to a riot against police brutality. It is your nightly newscast set to bass and beats. It is a rallying cry against apathy. It is protest anthems from Hong Kong to Istanbul to Ferguson to Montreal. The Rebel Beat drops once a month, and will feature interviews, collaborators, and accomplices.

Welcome back to another weekly podcast of The Rebel Beat! This week, we’re very proud to bring you our annual International Women’s Day special. International Women’s Day is celebrated around the world on March 8th in order to amplify women’s struggles against patriarchy, capitalism, racism, and all other forms of oppression and domination.
On the show this week, we talked about some of the many IWD events happening in Montreal. But if you’re not in Montreal, be sure to look for local events happening in your city or town!
On this show, we also bring you an interview with the fierce feminist punk band Downtown Boys, done by Amy Goodman at Democracy Now. If you haven’t checked out Downtown Boys yet, DON’T SLEEP ON THIS! An amazing band with amazing politics.
Plus we have almost 2 hours of music here spanning many genres from the spoken word stylings of Rafeef Ziadah and Natasha Kanape Fontaine, to the hardcore punk of Rape Revenge.
Enjoy! And SMASH THE PATRIARCHY!
