1. NERINA PALLOT - THE SOUND AND THE FURY

At the start of the month, a photo of drowned Kurdish toddler Alan Kurdi went viral, unleashing empathy for asylum seekers worldwide. Among those to react were musicians including to raise funds. Welsh artists also banded together to put out the . It included also came out recently. But one artist speaking out for refugees before Kurdi's death was Nerina Pallot, whose video clip for "The Road" features refugees trying to cross from France into Britain. With a half-French father and an Indian mother, Pallot is the beautiful result of multicultural immigration herself. She has a son not much older than Kurdi, but on the song "If I Had A Girl", she imagines she had a daughter instead, singing: "If I wear my skirt short, don't mean I don't have a brain. And if cover myself from head to toe, don't mean that I'm in chains."

2. DAVID ROVICS - THE OTHER SIDE

The family of drowned toddler Alan Kurdi were fleeing their hometown of Kobane, whose women soldiers have hit headlines worldwide for resisting ISIS attacks. Just days before Kurdi's death, US singer-songwriter David Rovics released his latest album, featuring a song dedicated to the city. On "Kobane" he sings: "A city full of Kurdish people divided from the rest. Cut off to the east, forsaken by the West. The only sensible thing to do was run away. But instead thousands stood and fought. Kobane." as she filmed the video for her new song "Revolution" near Mosul in Kurdistan. As for those caught in the crossfire worldwide, : "We plead for water they feed us sand. We demand land but there is none. Except over there where no one is allowed to roam. Borders enforced by gunpoint. For every citizen a guard. For every non-citizen, two guards."

3. REGIME - PUSH

After socialist Jeremy Corbyn became the new leader of Britain's Labour Party in a shock landslide win on September 12, the first thing he did was attend a rally for refugees. Two days later he refused to sing "God Save The Queen" at a Battle Of Britain memorial and was pilloried by the press, who seemed as unable as ever to join the dots between the Royals' promotion of the , imperialistic wars and refugees. It could have been worse, Corbyn could have been singing the words to "Queenie" from this year's album by British rappers Regime: "She's an arms dealer, she's got a lot of funds. And a gun shotter, she's shot a lot of guns. And a bomb seller, big player on the scene, saying God save us all from that mean old Queen." four decades ago, also showed he'd lost none of his subversive sense of a good tune with his , released on September 4.

4. FUN 'DA' MENTAL - A PHILOSOPHY OF NOTHING

The first full-length album in nearly a decade by British Asian soundclash specialists Fun 'Da' Mental, released just a fortnight after Alan Kurdi's drowning, proved disturbingly timely . The lyrics to "Colour Of Rain" say: "This is for the mothers that scream and cry. This is for the child that never sees the light. This is for the broken man lying across the sea. And this is for me and you. Never to fall and die." In a talked right through his career, from his punk days drumming with Southern Death Cult to forming Fun 'Da' Mental in just seven days, becoming a globe-trotting documentary maker and being visited by MI5.

5. PUBLIC ENEMY - LIVE FROM METROPOLIS STUDIOS

Fun 'Da' Mental are often referred to as "the Asian Public Enemy", but the real Public Enemy also released a new album this month, which is equally scathing about border control. Released on September 4, it captures the rap legends playing a one-off intimate gig to just 125 people in the London studios where Amy Winehouse recorded Back To Black. Introducing the track "Shut 'Em Down", Chuck D says: "I'm an Earthizen... I'm not a citizen of any damn government... One world, one people, one earth. And if anyone denies that shit, we're gonna shut 'em down."

Stephen Harper's political ally, Tony Abbott, was replaced in a coup on September 15.
