Religious Groups Attacking Corporate Avenger Lyrics
<http://mi2n.com/press.php3?press_nb=24550>
New York, NY- July 2, 2001: Corporate Avenger was dealt another blow this
week when lyrics on their upcoming album ignited a rampage within a few
national Christian groups. The band has been receiving death-threats due to
the album's content and it seems an ethical frenzy is beginning to snowball
around the album. KOCH Records has been asked to halt the album's release
by several organizations and now the groups are taking their fight to the
stores intent on stocking the title.
Lead by The Promise Keepers and The American Family Organization, religious
groups all across the country are banning together to try to keep the
album, Freedom Is A State Of Mind, from reaching store shelves. Songs like
"The Bible Is Bullshit," "Drug Dealing God" and "Jesus Christ Homosexual,"
were taken a bit too literally by the conservative groups, who missed the
deeper meaning of the songs. KOCH Records has received a number of
complaints and some retailers have informed the label of protests in light
of the album's release.
Several stores have chosen not to stock the album due to the controversial
song titles and lyric content. Planet Grooves in Clearwater, FL refuse to
carry the album, along with Play It Again Sam in Macon, GA and The Sound
Lab in Johnson City, TN.
Ed Franke, VP of Sales at KOCH Records states, "I've never had such a
backlash of feedback from retailers relating to a specific title
before. This is a band that has garnered both positive and negative
reactions across the board."
Corporate Avenger is hitting the road with Insolence in two weeks and their
debut album on KOCH Records, Freedom Is A State Of Mind, is in stores on
July 24, 2001.
