In the wake of the current state of events involving the rufugee crisis as well as the elections in America, Montreal band Young Galaxy have stepped forward to shed their opinion on the happenings with their new song ‘Stay For Real’. With the song being released independently, the band have also teamed up with Plus1 in which all net proceeds from the sales will get donated to the W.A.V.E Foundation, PIVOT in Canada, as well as the ACLU in the U.S.

Touching on the track Young Galaxy wrote:

“We can no longer stand idly by and rely only on the people who shape the world for us culturally and politically. We must stay true to ourselves and feel the courage of our convictions in the face of polarizing political and personal views. But most of all, we must show empathy, compassion and love – even when faced with increasing existential threats, and fear and hostility. This song is a statement of intent, as we enter a new era, to hopefully serve as a reminder to ourselves of what our responsibilities are as artists in this troubled time.”
