…die by the scam, EL TERRIBLE – Live by the Scam
El Terrible – Live by the Scam is available at SoundCloud, Bandcamp.

As if things couldn’t get any more bizarre, the master of heightened machismo and spreader of fear has been infected with Covid19. All the while the alleged anti-masker had been, and continues, hosting large events and hobnobbing with the political elite. With this development and his lingering apathetic grab bag of destructive agendas, rabble-rousing and robust narcissism continuing to negatively alter society. And San Francisco’s El Terrible has taken notice and have released a pointed message with their new single, “Live by the Scam”.
As songwriter/activist Terry Ashkinos explains, “Die by the Scam is an old saying I picked up somewhere. But the song basically calls out the GOP for encouraging Trump to lie to and manipulate his base in order to further their agenda of robbing this country blind. Now they are beginning to run away from him as he continues to fan the flames of hate, racism, xenophobia, and misogyny because they no longer think he can win. But its too late. We won’t forget and neither will mother nature apparently.”
Time will tell if the GOP sea change continues, but a couple of things are certain. Be vigilant and get out and vote. And you can stream this new single and the band’s recent release, “Lifer”, now at the GTC.
