Created locally with an eye on global issues, the "End War Now" protest song is being heard outside New England.

The anti-war anthem, created by Noise magazine publisher T-Max with the voices and talents of roughly 40 local musicians, is ranked seventh on Neil Young’s online collection of protest songs.

There are about 1,970 protest songs at www.neilyoung.com/lwwtoday, the left-leaning musician’s Living With War Today website.

While anyone can submit their song for inclusion, the rankings are based on each song’s popularity, as measured by the amount of hits it receives. "End War Now" debuted at 74, then made its way down to 54, then 20, then 7.

"It keeps climbing," T-Max said yesterday. "I’m excited about it. I heard he was collecting songs of our time about what’s going on. He’s one of my heroes, so it’s great."

"End War Now" was written by T-Max earlier this year, and recorded and produced in March at Somerville’s Hi-N-Dry Studio. A few weeks later he invited a few dozen Boston music veterans, including Roger Miller (Mission of Burma) and Andrea Gillis, to help lay down instrumentation and choirlike vocals.

Since its completion, the song has received radio play on several local music shows, and T-Max has been performing it live. Last Saturday, he performed an acoustic version of "End War Now" at the MoveOn Town Hall symposium. This Saturday his band, Dreamers Wanted, will perform it among a set of anti-war tunes at Assembling Peace 5, which will be held at Spontaneous Celebrations, 45 Danforth St., Jamaica Plain.

1. Very cool!

Perhaps this is just the beginning for the song. :hi:

2. We rehearsed again yesterday

Now T. Max is gonna sing the whole song (Shawn and I will do harmonies and punch-ins), and we were experimenting with having the guitar and/or the bass drop out of big parts of the song.

We're also doing a couple other songs T's written, and my own "Man Behind the Curtain."

And there's an error in the article; where it says we're playing on Saturday, it's really Friday, i.e. tomorrow. Wanna come see us? :headbang:
