It is their strength, and their love. Through co-opting the anarchist phrase “No Gods. No cops. No masters,” as a ‘fuck you’ to the disingenuity of too much art and life of the capitalist world at large, the group introduced themselves as humanly as possible. Yes, there are individuals who make up this band\/Collective\/organization. Yes, the politics are in play, which a listener might likely expect from a group that comes from the leftist punk rock world that boasts community, acceptance, and radicalism. However, these are the foundations \u003cb\u003ethe HIRS Collective\u003c\/b\u003e itself. As such, the Collective watched these community virtues and ideologies change through overuse and abuse and holds to them more tightly because of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e“Those words still have meaning, but they have no weight. They have no power. Everyone has softened the blow of those words.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAfter thrice releasing 100-song albums and countless splits and collaborative records, \u003cb\u003ethe HIRS Collective \u003c\/b\u003ehad already begun to realize their next frontier through 2020’s highly collaborative \u003ci\u003eFriends. Lovers. Favorites.\u003c\/i\u003e Since then, the band has doubled-down on prioritizing the love of creation over the expansion of an artist’s public identity, and through the act of expansive collaboration, \u003cb\u003ethe HIRS Collective\u003c\/b\u003e brings \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eWe’re Still Here\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e,\u003c\/i\u003e an immersive album featuring over 35 musicians and vocalists across 17 tracks. The name of the game is world expansion, cultivating true senses of community, and making sure that an idea can never die because it will have spread beyond the mind and powers of any single person. Once you work with the Collective, you are the Collective.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e“We always want to go the pessimistic route and be like ‘We’re only here out of spite’ but really, we are spite. And we’re going to do the work and to be as happy as possible for as long as we can. We're here to say ‘Fuck you, what we want to do is go on tour with our friends and hang out with them. We want to have all the positive, wild experiences. We want to contribute to the actual community of people around us. We want to connect with everyone who comes into our world.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eCompletely self-produced (like always) and completely self-managed (the Collective is also a driving force behind \u003cb\u003eGet Better Records, \u003c\/b\u003ewho are handling the release) \u003cb\u003ethe HIRS Collective’s \u003ci\u003eWe’re Still Here \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eis a statement of bravery and irascible resilience that will be one of their many entries into an already unmatched career whose influence has already started to affect young musicians the nation and world over. \u003cb\u003eThe HIRS Collective \u003c\/b\u003eknows its strength and is meeting the realization of its power with measured intention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e“We don’t think we can destroy every single negative structure, but we can dismantle them within ourselves. And if we have the chance to destroy it, let’s fucking go.
