 S<\/a><\/strong>choolkids Records<\/a><\/strong>–<\/a><\/strong>The Labe<\/a>l<\/a> has announced the  ‘Thoughts and Prayers’<\/a>  single from David J<\/a>. <\/strong>This will be issued on limited edition vinyl in a run of only 500 copies. This is the first great protest song of the year, exclusively for RSD 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

David J Haskins, an achieved solo artist in his own right, is also co-founder of both Bauhaus<\/strong> and Love and Rockets<\/strong> and the man responsible for the lyrics of the Bauhaus classic ‘Bela Lugosi’s Dead’<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Thoughts and Prayers is a scathing rebuke of the United States for its inability to stop the senseless mass school shootings that are killing our nation’s children,” says David J<\/strong>, who bemoans the futility of “sending thoughts and prayers” to solve this tragic issue..

This 7″ single comes packaged in a sleeve with a striking picture of a rifle with a bloody red circle around it and a line drawn through it.  The complete lyrics of ‘Thoughts and Prayers’ are printed on the back so the nation does not miss a word of this powerful call to action.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The B-Side is a cover of Emily Jane White<\/strong><\/a>‘Hole in the Middle’<\/strong>. While originally written in response to the Bush administration, this powerful political song is just as relevant in today’s political environment.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
