Earth First! Music

These are just songs that are published in one of the Earth First! songbooks over the years. Some of them are still available on tape or CD.  This is by no means a complete list. In addition, folks like Katie Lee have made their tapes available through the Earth First! Journal. Earth First! has been one of the best sources of inspirational eco-music around since its inception.
