The Sound Strike is back on the attack with another press release drawing attention to the growing list of artists signing on to boycott Arizona in response to the passage of SB 1070.

"The legalization of racial profiling within Arizona has drawn fierce opposition from people all over the world," it reads. "Over 20 cities throughout the U.S., along with universities, professional associations, and civil rights organizations have all approved boycotts as part of an international strategy to defeat this unjust law. It is in the spirit of these popular actions that the Sound Strike is proud to announce the newest list of artists who are taking action to defend civil and human rights."

Those names include Nine Inch Nails, comedian Chris Rock, Maroon 5, My Morning Jacket, Ben Harper, Ry Cooder, Pitbull, Steve Earle, Billy Bragg, Anti-Flag and Throwing Muses.

The initial list, released in May, included Conor Oberst, Kanye West, Rage Against the Machine, Rise Against, Cypress Hill, Serj Tankian, Joe Satriani, Sonic Youth, Tenacious D, Street Sweeper Social Club and Michael Moore.
