Known for championing social justice for people of colour, the LGBTQ community, women, immigrants and the forgotten members of society, BLXPLTN’s radical message is a punch in the face of the punk rebellion that - as many aspects of pop culture - has seen its historical image whitewashed. They'll be releasing their forthcoming third album in due course, but for now we've got a premiere of their new video, Education Destruction.

The new single will drop through their own record label, Wolfshield Records, on October 27. But for now, listen to their 2016 album, New York Fascist Week, below.
