"Recently reunited shoegazers My Bloody Valentine are among the latest wave of artists to join the "No Music for Genocide" boycott, geo-blocking their music from streaming platforms in Israel. Denzel Curry, Shygirl, and Saba have also officially joined the campaign, which now includes over 1,000 artists and labels. According to the campaign, "No Music for Genocide" is a response to "the genocide in Gaza; ethnic cleansing of the Occupied West Bank; apartheid within Israel; and political repression of Pro-Palestine efforts wherever we live.""
""No Music for Genocide" launched in September with hundreds of initial signatories, including Massive Attack, Kneecap, Fontaines D.C., Rina Sawayama, and Japanese Breakfast. Lorde, Paramore and Hayley Williams, Björk, IDLES, MUNA, and hundreds of others have since joined the campaign. Highlighting the necessity of label cooperation, a new press release notes that Paul Weller and Massive Attack have finally received "long-awaited geo-block approvals" from Warner and Universal."
