Song: Nightwatchers - White Fathers

French melodic punk outfit, Nightwatchers, have a new single out titled ”White Fathers”, a track that criticizes the French state for its exploitation of occupied territories during France’s colonial era.

"Cardinal Charles Lavigerie, founding member of the White Fathers, played a central role in justifying French colonization in Africa in the name of the fight against ‘Muslim barbarism’. This song is adapted from a speech he gave to the French army troops in the cathedral of Algiers (1867)," says guitarist and vocalist, Julien Virgos.

”White Fathers” is from the band’s upcoming sophomore album Common Crusades, which will be released on October 8th via Lövely Records!
