Ehteram إحترام (Respect) is the debut 7-inch from New York’s Pure Terror.
PURE TERROR is a New York based Pan Arab harcore punk band with members from Lebanon, Palestine and Syria. Our music is in protest of the occupation, our hope is to see a free Palestine within our lifetime.
Drawn from the city’s pan-Arab diaspora, the band call on the poetry of June Jordan, Nizar Quabbani, and Samih al-Qasim.  In the accompanying booklet, their poems sit alongside the band’s lyrics and their themes of cultural identity and anti-colonialism frame the band’s own searing exploration of both the horror unfolding in Gaza and the lived experience of Arab émigrés to the US, as well as, more broadly, the challenges of sustaining political activism in our ever more atomised society.
