Indigenous punk
Crushing Colonialism welcomes you to the third installment of our Decolonized Beatz Virtual Performance Series!
Our #DecolonizedBeatz series showcases the many different styles, taste and avenues in which Indigenous Folks express ourselves. For the month of July, we are joined by Adrian Rollins and his band Fight the Future.
Adrian Rollins is a Mexica (Meh-chi-ka) tribal member from the Calpulli Yauquisque and Teokalli clans. He currently resides in Salt Lake Lake City Utah with his wife and two kids. Adrian has performed in a number of bands over the decades, spanning several genres (metal, punk, hardcore). He is also a songwriter and political activist.
Presently, he plays guitar in a politically charged hardcore band called Social Stigma, as well as in a punk band called Fight The Future. Both bands have released EPs on streaming services such as Spotify, Apple Music, and Bandcamp.
Fight The Future will be touring the East coast this fall. In any musical endeavours, Adrian carries his heritage and Native pride with him.
