BLACKFIRE is comprised of two brothers and their sister Jeneda, Clayson and Klee Benally. Born into the heart of a political land dispute area on Black Mesa in the Navajo Nation, this family’s powerful music reflects the Hopes, Freedoms, and Barriers of today’s world.
BLACKFIRE’s style encompasses traditional Native American, Punk-Rock and “Alter-Native” music and bears strong socio-political messages regarding government oppression, relocation of indigenous people, eco-cide, genocide, domestic violence and human rights.
Having known this group since 2012, they have constantly released great and inspiring tracks with many topics revolving racism, immigration, the Latinx experience in Amerikkka, and anti-capitalist sentiments. Overall, this collective is a must-hear for any revolutionary mother fuckers out there who believe in the movement. YOUNG ARAMARK
