An unusual start for Equalizing-X-Distort, with two tributes (Shane McGowan - Pogues) and Geordie Walker (Killing Joke) but that leads to an oldies set with some new archival releases to showcase. We also feature a piece on the When words fail music speaks benefit for Ukraine coming up in two weeks time. There is a feature on Pacific Northwest power violence. There is a preview of the Side by Side reunion happening in Brooklyn. And two sets of new releases.

A while back Shawna from Artificial Dissemination got in touch with me about a Ukrainian benefit they were playing called When words fail music speaks. She put me in touch with Krista Pettipas who is organizing the event and I put together this feature to help dig into the significance of it. We’re going to start off with a conversation between Krista and I.
