A central part of Dunedin, New Zealand was shut down last Friday afternoon (June 15) after a suspicious package was discovered on the street. As it turns out, the package happened to be a cassette from a local noise group.
As the Otago Daily Times reports, New Zealand Defence Force flew into the city by helicopter and destroyed the tape using a remote-controlled robot. As you can see above, the tape had a note attached to it which read as follows:
''When there's nothing left to lose.
''i will firebomb your car.
''i will hack into your computer.
''i will leak trade & state
''SECRETS.
''i will hammer holes in your office windows.
''i will raise [sic] your buildings to
''the ground.
''i will bring you down.''
The tape itself was a copy of StreetNOISE by L.$.D. FUNDRAISER, whose release strategy involved sticking the tape to the wall of building. A note on the band's Bandcamp page reads, "Free giveaway! On a wall hear (sic) you? limited run of XIII, C38, cassette tape. Longslowcomfortablescrewagainstthewalltapes #5″
The Daily Times also reports that the police have spoken to a band member and are assessing his criminal liability.
