2020-06-21 Yak Attack - "Silence is the Enemy" feat. Kellen Asebroek & Sarah Clarke (PDX Couch Tour)

Yak Attack has been fortunate to collaborate with many fantastic artists, and today’s video features two of our favorites: Kellen Asebroek and Sarah Clarke. Kellen wrote the lyrics to “Silence is the Enemy” back in 2016, but the words ring true today.
Kellen says, “When Yak sent me an instrumental and asked me to write [Silence], I knew that I wanted the to focus the lyrics on social justice. What resulted was a melodic reminder that simply being neutral in the face of injustice isn't enough - we have to fight back.” Let’s keep this fight going!
Please check out and support Sarah’s organization Musicians in Solidarity which aims for equity and advocacy for BIPOC artists in the music industry. And check out her band Outer Orbit featuring some of Portland’s finest players. Also, for the few who haven’t heard, peep Kellen’s amazing band Fruition!
Thanks to Brian Strauss and the PDX Couch Tour crew for being first movers into Portland live streams and providing all of us a chance to play in quarantine!
