Lankum: If microphones are put in front of us, we are going to talk about Gaza

β€œI think that if you have a platform,” Peat says, β€œand you don’t use it to speak what you believe about this, then it’s a waste of a platform. I also think that having a platform to only promote your music or yourself doesn’t sit very well for me. It’s horrendous what’s happening and if microphones are put in front of us, we’re going to talk about it. It’s really that simple.”
