“These Days” is a powerful new track from Scarlet Rebels, and it is a smashing rocker from a band on a mission: to use their music to help out local food banks.
More about the track and the band’s initiative:
A band who have made their thoughts on the current government very clear with their striking upcoming album cover, Scarlet Rebels want to make a real difference for those living in poverty. Inspired by the work of the Trussell Trust and figureheads for positive change like Marcus Rashford, Scarlet Rebels’ hearts lie with supporting food banks, citing the 33% rise in demand for emergency food parcels throughout the pandemic and the recent £20-a-week cut to Universal Credit.
From now on, the band will be collecting for local food banks at their headline shows, and those unable to attend are welcome to donate approved items via grocery delivery services like Deliveroo.
Frontman Wayne Doyle comments, “As a band we’ve both been outraged and disheartened by the actions of our current government and we knew we had to use our platform to help those who are struggling. It was so important to me to provide a simple and easy way for anyone to show their support at a time when so many are living in poverty, and to show that if everyone gives just a little it will make a huge difference.
“We’ll be doing a collection at every show moving forwards,” he continues. “Hopefully this will inspire others to do the same. Start a street WhatsApp group, do a collection with your mates or your five-a-side team… it’s amazing what we can do if we work together!”
