No You Don’t: NY PodCat’s Fight against eroding freedoms
In a powerful outpouring of frustration and anger, NY PodCat, a band known for their songs cultivating love around the world through powerful and beautiful music, has released a new song as a direct response to the recent Dobbs US Supreme Court decision.
The song, a scathing critique of the decision’s potential impact on American women’s health and rights, was born out of a deep sense of despair and outrage. Li Mann, half of the band explained, “It’s heartbreaking to see the country move backward. Women are being denied basic healthcare rights, and it’s absolutely unacceptable.” This is all the more heartbreaking as this sets back not just human’s rights in America but the potential impact this decision has for those watching the US around the world.
The song delves into the broader issue of eroding freedoms and the growing threat to civil liberties. NY PodCat expressed concern over book bans and other forms of censorship, highlighting the importance of protecting freedom of expression. The repeated message brought about by the chorus is clear “No You Don’t”
No You Don’t song Production
The band’s passionate performance and the song’s raw energy reflect the urgency of the moment. The recording process was a cathartic experience, allowing the duo to channel their outrage into music, with a similar production to NY PodCat’s previous efforts, where both band members Pete and Li take the lead on building the song with guitars and bass at their home audio setup.
The production is expertly enhanced through a collaboration with talented musicians like live drummer Adam Alesi of Musiversal, the musical burst as the duo and their guests have a blast together screaming the “crowd vocals” in the chorus and breakdowns and the expert mixing and mastering by Doug Wayne Holmquist, which altogether helped bring the song to life.

Accompanying the powerful song is a fitting video no less profound. The music video is now available to watch right here and now via YouTube.
As the nation grapples with the far-reaching consequences of the Supreme Court’s decision, NY PodCat’s song serves as a powerful reminder of the need to fight for justice and equality. The musicians urge listeners to take action and use their voices to demand a better future.
