Here Comes Chernobyl

were a punk rock band with slow black sabbathy breakdowns. falsettos. gang vocals. social issues. party vocals! and satan.

we started as a two-piece in the spring of 09 and then we had a few practices with other folks but couldn't secure a drummer in Atlanta so we collaborated with other folks from Quad Cities, IL. as of summer 2010, we are a three-piece with members in Illinois and Georgia. other friends sometimes sing and play with us too. we record all of our songs in Davenport, IA with DJ skid loader in his biggity-basement--slanted plywood and all.

Story behind the song

This song is about how the nuclear industry puts profits ahead of people--especially Indigenous people. The industry tried to get away with shady deals with the Skull Valley Goshute but ultimately were unsuccessful (see above article). Montgomery Burns is the evil CEO of the nuclear plant in the Simpsons! He is a microcosm of the nuclear industry! see http://www.nonukesyall.org/ and http://www.nirs.org/ for more info on the enormity that is the nuclear industry. http://epubs.utah.edu/index.php/jlrel/article/view/58/51

Lyrics

The NRC says nukes are green, the Navajo know what they mean
With birth
defects and mouths to feed, the green is for the corporate greed
The PFS has
fuel to spill, with the Goshute tribe they’ve made a deal (almost)
Their
payoff there, yeah, it was nil; who will pay? The Goshute will.
Hey Burns, I
think we’ve had enough
That which you do is so unjust
You depredate the Indigenous 
Of your burden they endure the crux, you f*** .
