CONVICTS TAKE ON CONGRESS
On July 31, 2014, female-fronted, heavy metal band, Corprit Convict, is taking the message of their debut album, Come Clean, directly to the steps of the U.S. Capitol Building. The message? Remove money from politics. The band will be performing songs from the album, such as "3 Ring", "Applicator" and "Left for Dead", serving, themselves, as protest anthems and calling for change in our country.
"Campaign financing has become the single, biggest problem plaguing our country's political landscape today. But it's also the least discussed problem, because the only people who can effect real change on theses policies, or lack thereof, are the same group cashing the checks. Money talks in Washington and, right now, it's screaming," says singer, KT. "Americans cannot continue to stand idly by as the richest members of our country continue to buy our elections and control our public officials."
In the Spring of this year, the US Supreme Court
passed a ruling that will allow individuals and corporations to give up to $6
million to candidates and parties in a 2 year election cycle; nearly 50 times
the limit before the ruling.
Supporters for the band can join them on the
steps of the Congress on July 31 (last day of summer session).

Convict, you get a taste of what Reverbnation says is #1 in that
genre....Starting from a 2 piece garage band to a high ranking group is no
small feat....No matter what, you should definitely be able to notice the
potential these guys have."
