I spoke to Kennedy Rice about his journey with starting Panther Revival. Rice and I met at Compost Heap music festival and became friends through the national music community that Compost Heap brings to touring and local musicians. Rice and I talk about our experiences with relating to afrofuturism, new punk culture and today's politics with helping black voices have a presence in underground punk scenes. Learn more on Dreams Not Memes Podcast. Bio: Originating in the northeast Texas city of Greenville, Panther Revival live by their motto: Power to the Panther. Comprised of Kennedy Rice (vocals/guitar), Chris Edwards (drums) and Sam Boatner (bass), their righteous anger and focused desperation channeled itself into the release of their Punkerton Records debut, the full-length album "Animality". Described as "Body Count meets AFI meets La Dispute", Panther Revival brings a socially conscious voice against a darkly furious backdrop. The trio has been bringing their unique energy to various shows and festivals, screaming about the issues important to them (and even leaving stage during their set to mosh with the crowd!). With the release of their sophomore album, recorded in Arizona with producer Matt LeFevers, Panther Revival has no intentions of settling. Always and forever, Power to the Panther.  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/3cJtGHqIozwiBkE47q28CE?autoplay=true Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pantherrevival/
