Witch Camp, artist’s Bandcamp

Along with this site, I regularly contribute to Shadowproof. Twice a month a post on this site is also featured on theirs. I have also contributed to their best albums list, including their list of Top Ten Protest Albums of 2021. I selected five and the remaining five were selected by Kevin Gosztola. Eight out of the ten albums were also featured on the 40 best protest albums of 2021 (nine out of ten artists, a different David Rovics album was selected). But the writeups are more detailed for Shadowproof.
