Enter Shikari, John Lennon, and Bob Marley are among the lyrics written on placards in protests and marches, but now Jerad Finck has been added to the mix with his anthemic new single, \u2018New Kids\u2019.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Profits from a version of the song remixed by popular UK duo Seawaves &#8211; which currently has nearly 200,000 Spotify streams &#8211; was released in support of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.everytown.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Everytown For Gun Safety<\/a>, a non-profit which advocates for gun control against gun violence. Jerad partnered with Everytown to help raise awareness for common-sense gun reform &#8211; an issue which is very important to him.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It\u2019s a song which was seemingly written purely for this occasion. The lyrics are nothing less than a cry to arms, repeatedly stating \u201cwe are the new kids\u2026 time to rise up, gonna hear our voices\u201d. A timely message, it seems, as the rebels from Extinction Rebellion set up camp in the light whiling away behind buildings in Trafalgar Square and the full moon begins to rise.<\/p>\n<p
