Below are a few of the many emails we have received. The entire band has been quite touched by the response, and are proud that NOVACOSM could positively affect other’s lives. Please continue to write, we love to hear from you!

I saw George Burdi on VH1 and I'm so happy he's changed his ways. I am a Puerto Rican female(of African,Anglo & Indian blood) who was raised by a East Indian step father. We grew up in the "south" around people who hated us...who jumped my father..who shot at my father..And to see George and hear him say how he's sees people in a different way meant so much. I still live in the south and I never go outside..I can never live free because the people here don't see Me as an American..they just see me as a foreigner. I do hope more will one day change and stop being so hateful to people.

I just wanted to say, that I use to make the same mistakes as you and others have done. I realized that hate is nothing like opening up your heart and letting everybody inside.

Eyes shining bright, with unspilt tears...
thinking about all those wasted years.

I wasted my 6 years in a neo nazi movement.

No more.

Great disc! Thanks. The band has a really unique sound, especially with Burdi's vocals. I think that you should go in the direction of Black Easter or one of the other darker tracks, but the whole thing is good.

I know in my heart that no one can touch the heart of a "real man" except a higher power, some way, some how, this majestic force can bring forth miracles, and other wonderous things that can not be explained. I use to dislike certain people with a passion, but the more I started to come into contct with many who were not like me (I now live in the burbs) I began to change my "tunnel vision" viewpoint. I know the change was guided by a higher power, so don't get me wrong, I really am only a vessel in which the change took place, so in conclusion Mr. Burdi your story is the Creators gift to mankind to stop wasteing time, and energy, on negativity. I wish you well young man, and may others who are channeling there energies towards hatred step back an realize how short life is, and begin to spend their precious time doing more positive things like you have begun to do. Stay Safe, and Stay Strong,

I just wanted to congratulate George Burdi on his trasformation from a White supremisist to an anti-racist person. I just got through watching VH1's documentary on the aforesaid subject matter, and let me tell you it outrages me. Being a musician myself, I feel that it is necessary to speak out against such hate and promote positive notions. I've always had a deep resentment of people who in my book are so ignorant as to hate someone because of their skin color, and when people like George can wake up and smell the coffee, it's one step forward. So again, congratulations to you George and to the rest of the band- good luck with your music.

First of all I would like to say thank you for being yourself. It takes a strong man to be yourself without worrying about your past. I was never a racist, but I always enjoyed reading your insight. I think , no offence, you wasted your intelligence with resistance. I actually subscribed to resistance just to read you articles. I'm a huge fan of Nietzsche, and I thought you discussed his thoughts well. Unfortunately, I can actually say that your talk about racism actually swayed me. It was such a relief when I found out that you didn't actually believe that way. I know I'm not the only one who feels this way.

I WAS IN THE MOVEMENT FOR CLSOE TO 10 YEARS FROM THE TIME I WAS 13 UNTILL I WAS 21 I WAS A HARD-CORE SKINHEAD SEEING YOU ON VH-1 AND HEARING YOUR WORDS INSPIRED ME TO LEAVE BEHIND THE HATE I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU

I saw the special on VH1 about this band, and I just want to say that I love what you stand for. As an Asian-American, I have been insulted from my race. The fact that the lead singer has made this amazing transition is just beautiful. I wish good luck and prosperity to your band.

Keep up the good work! And please keep putting out great and inspirational music! You are the most unique band, and you were put together by God for a special purpose!

Hi George, I read about you leaving the movement and changing your views on racism. I had bought Resistance since the very first issue from a distributor in Hollywood, Ca. I was never a skinhead until 1996 though when I bought my first Skrewdriver CD. I had been into hardcore punk for years[im almost 34 now] so I got into it at a later date than most others. I just wanted to say right on for leaving the scene because I got out of it a couple years ago myself. I wish you good luck with your band and hope a major label would give you a chance not because I like the music industry or anything[ha] but simply I think you getting your message out to kids would make a big difference in a lot of them. I have to confess I still like your "Declaration of War" album for the music and not the lyrics. I hope all goes well for you.

My name is Traci. I am 19 years old and live in Chicago, IL. I seen the special on VH1 about you guys and I just wanted to say that I am very happy to hear that George turned his life around. After seeing that special I felt very angry toward people who hate different people just because of there skin color. I am a white female myself and I believe it gives good white people like myself a bad name. I just wanted to write you to say that and hopefully you can turn other people away from that kind of stuff. God Bless

After viewing your website I now have renewed hope in mankind. If George can have such a drastic change for the better, why can't other people?

Greetings from Germany...

I recieved the Novacosm-CD a few days ago (thanks for the inredible quick reply to my order) and have to admit that it really is an astonishing piece of musical art that I have been listening regularly since then... Anyway, I wish you all the best for your future.

Hi, Guys!

Just got the new CD! It's amazing! You keep producing music like this and nothing can stop you. Really like Girl Who Owned The Sea!
