Rise Against has posted a press release indicating their participation in a boycott of BP, the oil company responsible for the environmentally devastating oil spill off the coast of the United States. The release also names Disturbed, Lady Gaga, Godsmack, Backstreet Boys, Rock Star Energy Drink Mayhem Festival, Slightly Stoopid, Rob Zombie, Megadeth, Black Label Society with Zakk Wylde, Anthrax, Creed, Filter, Hellyeah and Flogging Molly. It includes this statement from Warped Tour promoter Kevin Lyman who notes:

We have so many friends that are now affected by this spill that unless Bp spends whatever is needed their livelihoods are lost forever. To that end we are encouraging everyone we deal with to find alternative ways to get down the road this summer.


Jonathan Davis of KORN, who spearheaded the boycott added:

This is the worst thing that has ever happened to the environment in U.S. history. From everything we're hearing about now, it's become clear that BP cut corners to put profit ahead of safety. The message we are sending should tell all the oil companies to spend the money and take the necessary precautions to make sure this doesn't happen again, I'm really proud that this many artists have already come on board, and I hope more will join soon.


The release also includes a list of products which use Bp oil as source material. Check out the release here.
