“Forged in the back alleys and neon-lit dive bars of New York City in the late 1980s, Alice Donut arrived on the scene with a presence that defied categorization … The band quickly established themselves as architects of an off-kilter sound; one that fused the raw aggression of punk with alternative rock, unexpected pop twist, and a healthy dose of experimental chaos a la Frank Zappa … They were central figures in New York’s underground scene and their fearless experimentation and shifting lineups challenged the norms of what a rock band could be and should be … In a city known for its ceaseless reinvention, Alice Donut remains a vivid reminder of a time when music was as unpredictable as the urban jungle it sprang from. Their legacy lives on in every band that dares to blur the lines between chaos and craft — a true blazing tribute to New York’s untamed creative spirit.” – Sydney Taylor, Loudwire

Available Now: Chuck Sperry’s Newest Protest Art Poster

“Our Future, Our Democracy” (No Autocracy!) 2025 • 18 x 24 • offset poster

Now available exclusively online at the Harman Projects online store.⁠

Harman Projects and Chuck Sperry are pleased to announce “Our Future, Our Democracy” (No Autocracy!) 2025.

This limited edition offset lithograph is a continuation of the artist’s deeply entrenched activism, a key element to his artistic and social practice.

Available online starting Friday, April 4th at 10am Pacific exclusively online at the Harman Projects online store.

I am encouraged by the coming nationwide, mass mobilization on April 5, 2025 — organized in part by political action group Indivisible. 

It’s important to exercise one’s first amendment right to free speech, and so inspired, I created a 2025 offset variant of my “Our Future, Our Democracy” poster. My refreshed design calls for “No Autocracy! No Oligarchy! No Dictatorship!” 

Join our day of national mobilization on April 5, and stay tuned for many American demonstrations to follow. 

The time to defend our democracy is now. 

— Chuck Sperry
