Emily T. Nielsen of Punk Rock & Paintbrushes + Cory Brennan of Rock Against Racism sat down with Joshua Toomey and the Talk Toomey podcast at Louder Than Life to talk about their respective endeavors. Emily details the art collective that is Punk Rock & Paintbrushes, how it travels globally around art galleries and the festival circuit, and its ties to non-profit organizations at each event, this weekend that organization being Cory's Rock Against Racism. Brennan discusses the movement's origins in the 1970s and how that and recent events in the world inspired him to relight the flame of the initiative back in 2020, and he explains how the organization aims to bring the community together in support of the cause. Emily goes on to outline how the two entities overlap and how Punk Rock & Paintbrushes begins working with artists and giving them a platform to display their work. To finish up, there's discussion on how the States' festival scene is blooming into more of a complete cultural display rather than just a collection of bands playing a show, and there's brief talk on the upcoming Knotfest South America events.
