Legal experts: So I posted on my band’s FB story that I was going to participate in No Music for Genocide, and now my page is suspended, for alleged ”impersonation”. I own all content. Meta will not restore or tell me why my page has been suspended, stating “Final Decision”.
Best course of action?

Per.
Day.
$24,000. Every single day, including weekends.

“Bluebird” is officially out in the world!
The song started as a kind of letter to someone I loved but hadn’t met yet—and I’m really happy it’s the first single off my upcoming album Late September Garden Party, which drops May 15 on digital and vinyl.

My four year old said someone at daycare told him the US was going to take over Canada.
Long story short, we made the “Elbows Up!” anthem that needed to be made right now.
