PARIS: British trip-hop group Massive Attack announced they are joining a new music industry initiative to block their music in Israel and have also asked for their songs to be removed from Spotify. The Bristol natives said they had joined “No Music for Genocide,” a collective of musicians modelled on the “Film Workers for Palestine” group, which has also called for a cultural boycott of Israel over the war in Gaza.

The band cited a ‘moral and ethical burden’ placed on artists by revenue from their work ultimately funding lethal technologies

Bristol-based band has also asked for their songs to be withdrawn from streaming services in Israel
