Chicago alt-rock outfit <\/strong>The Joy Thieves<\/strong><\/a> are back with \u2018The Wrong End of Your Rifle\u2019<\/strong><\/a>, along with a new video by Joel Lopez<\/strong> at Lumbra Productions<\/strong><\/a>. This is the first single from their full-length album <\/strong>‘Apocalypse Pending’<\/strong><\/a>, out June 5th via Armalyte Industries<\/strong><\/a>. Featuring Chris Connelly<\/strong> <\/a>(Fini Tribe, Revolting Cocks, Ministry, Pigface)<\/strong> on vocals, this ripping track addresses the intense frustration we\u2019re all feeling over corporations and billionaires seemingly able to do whatever they want, whenever they want, without consequence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Revolving around musicians-producers Dan Milligan<\/strong><\/a> and James Scott<\/strong><\/a> (a.k.a. Joy Thieves Productions<\/strong><\/a>), The Joy Thieves is a musical supergroup that includes current, former, and touring members of Ministry, Stabbing Westward, The Rollins Band, Killing Joke, Pigface, RevCo, PIG, David Bowie, Blue October, Machines of Loving Grace, Depeche Mode, Nine Inch Nails, KMFDM, Naked Raygun, Foetus, My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult, Pegboy, Nitzer Ebb, Die Krupps<\/strong> and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A jagged, cynical critique of the intersection between state violence, corporate greed, and digital voyeurism, \u2018The Wrong End of Your Rifle\u2019<\/a> <\/strong> portrays a world where human life is devalued and even the most violent acts are packaged as content or conveniently filtered, filmed yet ultimately ignored by the screen-numbed masses.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
