Maruja - Pain To Power (Vinyl)

The extraordinary collection not only confirms the four piece as a creative force of nature but finds a deeply emotional and empathetic band concerned primarily with the power of community, both in the nuclear sense, as a tight knit creative unit, but also as a wider force for social and political change in the age of the individual. Produced by Samuel W Jones who the band worked with on their three EPs to date. Maruja believe passionately in the ability of art to empower, heal and unite and have created a body of work with 'Pain to Power' that they hope will offer both strength and an emotional release to anyone who is struggling with the impact of years of political turmoil and social isolation. The first taste of the album is new single 'Look Down On Us,' a furious cry against the impact of late-stage capitalism and the wealth of the one percent on global society. This is protest music at it's most potent. Thought-provoking, unifying and intensely cathartic, it places the band in the great canon of artists using their art to propel change.
