""New Jesus" is a rant about the blatant fascistic slide in the United States and on TV, loosely connected to the ABC-Trump settlement and post-January 6th election fraud cases."
"The lack of any broader moral compulsions beyond centralizing power on the political right has led to a culture of post-truth, where there is no reward in accuracy unless it leads to an augmenting of one's political capital."
"There is surprising apathy among young people in regards to this slide, who believe the acquisition of power and the subsequent lording over that occurs, is merely nature, essentially; what will happen, will happen."
Truck Violence, a Montreal-based band, has signed with Flenser and will release their sophomore album, 'The Weathervane Is My Body,' on June 26. The band, formed by Paul Lecours and Karsyn Henderson, reflects on their transition from Alberta to Montreal. The lead single, 'New Jesus,' critiques the political climate in the U.S., focusing on the rise of fascism and apathy among youth regarding power dynamics. Henderson emphasizes the cultural shift towards a post-truth society where political capital often overshadows moral integrity.
