British trip-hop pioneers Massive Attack join Israel boycott campaign

British trip-hop pioneers Massive Attack have joined other bands and musicians in seeking to block their tracks being streamed in Israel as part of a cultural boycott campaign over the war in Gaza.

The Bristol natives say they have joined “No Music for Genocide,” a new collective of musicians modeled on the “Film Workers for Palestine” group.

Massive Attack, who have nearly eight million monthly listeners on Spotify, write on Instagram that they have asked their label, Universal, that “our music be removed from all… streaming services in the territory of Israel.”

A website for “No Music for Genocide” says it brings together more than 400 artists and labels that “have geo-blocked and removed their music” from Israel in protest at the country’s Gaza campaign.
