Paleface Swiss and Stick To Your Guns Release Instrument of War With Powerful Visual and Charity Mission
Fresh off a landmark year, Paleface Swiss have dropped a brand new single, Instrument of War, featuring Stick To Your Guns frontman Jesse Barnett. The collaboration arrives with a hard-hitting music video, created alongside conflict journalism platform Popular Front, and carries a potent message of resistance, solidarity, and direct action — with 100% of proceeds going to Doctors Without Borders.
The single emerged during the band’s U.S. run with Stick To Your Guns, where vocalist Zelli and Barnett sat down to write the track together. Produced by Marco Bayati and mixed by Landmvrks’ Florent Salfati, the final product brings together the explosive heaviness of Paleface Swiss with the urgency and conviction of Stick To Your Guns, all wrapped in a concept inspired by Pablo Picasso’s quote:
“Painting is not done to decorate apartments. It is an instrument of war for attack and defense against the enemy.”
This philosophy is echoed in the track’s mission — to not only make noise, but to mean something.
“Our music isn’t just some shit to put on in the background,” says Zelli. “It’s meant to attack the things that divide us and defend all the things that bring us together.”
The limited edition Instrument of War charity t-shirt is available now at palefaceswiss.com, with all profits donated directly to Doctors Without Borders.
