PALEFACE SWISS UNLEASH ‘INSTRUMENT OF WAR’ WITH STICK TO YOUR GUNS

Paleface Swiss have dropped their latest single, ‘Instrument of War’, featuring Jesse Barnett of Stick To Your Guns. The track arrives alongside a video directed by Kriss Jakob and carries a strong message about unity and resistance.

Proceeds from the single, along with a special T-shirt design between the two bands, will go to Doctors Without Borders. Vocalists Marc “Zelli” Zellweger and Jesse Barnett described the collaboration as a statement of intent: “Our music isn’t just some shit to put on in the background … it’s meant to attack the things that divide us and defend all the things that bring us together.”

Read the joint statement below:

"'No, painting is not done to decorate apartments. It is an instrument of war for attack and defense against the enemy.' I felt like we both relate to this. Our music isn't just some shit to put on in the background. It's something real that comes from a real place and it's meant to attack the things that divide us and defend all the things that bring us together.

Paleface Swiss has generally avoided taking explicit political positions—especially given how complex things are today. But Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) provides care to people afected by conflict, disease outbreaks, natural and human-made disasters, and mental health crises. That kind of direct, human-first action is something we deeply respect.

That said, both Stick To Your Guns and Paleface Swiss share clear values. As we mentioned, we stand for what's right—whether that means supporting mental health (a core focus for Paleface Swiss) or speaking out against oppression and violence. For those who know our bands, this song already carries those messages. That's why it felt like the right vehicle for something bigger—and why it made sense to use it to give back."
