#montreal4riseup is a project of 20 songs, released (or not) between 2020 and 2024, that span a large range of genres including rap, industrial, folk, rock, noise, punk, post-punk, anarcho-punk, hardcore, oi, crust, grind, and more.

Why a Montreal music compilation for Riseup?

For decades, there has been a vibrant anarchist tradition in Tiohtià:ke/Mooniyang (Montreal). Anarchists, often in contact with one another, quickly turned to Riseup’s various services after its creation. Some of the “birds” (members of Riseup) were even present and/or active in Montreal. It is only natural, then, that a compilation celebrating a project that has supported so many autonomous, decolonial, and anti-authoritarian initiatives over the years would emerge from Tiohtià:ke/Mooniyang.
