A new Bad Cop/Bad Cop track

Posted in MP3s on May 21, 2020

Bad Cop/Bad Copy just released a new song from their soon-to-release album, The Ride. 

“Pursuit of Liberty” is an immigration-themed song penned by bassist Linh Le.

Le explains:

My family fled Saigon in 1975. They were given a chance. So, why isn't the same thing still happening for everyone fleeing their danger? How have we gone from "The Land of the Free" to "Build that Wall?” 

The song isn’t (just) about my family. I wrote this song to bring awareness to a completely disgraceful treatment of refugees. My family's part in the song is just my way of showing how personal it is to me. But the message is about ALL REFUGEES.

The Ride releases on June 19 on Fat Wreck Chords.
