The initial scope of the project included a 10-track album, released November 26, 2013 via Redeye Distribution, and several concert events in the Carolinas. Lindsay contributed original songs to the project, served as the group's music director, and produced the debut LP, "We Are Not For Sale: Songs of Protest". Members of the NCMLA who perform on the album include Cary, The Love Language, Hiss Golden Messenger, Carolina Chocolate Drops, Django Haskins, The Old Ceremony, Snüzz (of Ben Folds), Audley Freed, American Aquarium, The Connells, Chris Stamey, Chatham County Line, Charly Lowry, Rhiannon Giddens and others. Members of the NCMLA performed at Moral Monday rallies at the North Carolina General Assembly and in Charlotte. The events, which at times drew up to 5000 participants, were part of the "Forward Together" Movement engineered by the NC chapter or the NAACP, under the leadership of Reverend William Barber II. The NCMLA had 8 releases in 2014, the bulk of which arrived via Love Army Records - its own label founded in the same year. Much of the new material reflected efforts toward stylistic expansion thru a remix project, finding the group incorporating elements of EDM, Pop-Punk, Hip-Hop and other genres into its releases. Other 2014 highlights included a collaboration with Bloodshot Records on the single "Stick to The Plan" (featuring members of Whiskeytown, The Backsliders, and 6-String Drag), released on the commemorative triple LP, "While No One Was Looking: Toasting 20 Years of Bloodshot Records"; and Lindsay's single "Dear Mr. McCrory" (featuring American Aquarium and Caitlin Cary), which compares the former governor to segregationist George Wallace. In 2015, Lindsay was introduced to the case of Lennon Lacy, a seventeen-year-old African American youth from Bladenboro, NC, found dead by hanging in August 2014. The NC NAACP's independent investigation declared the death a lynching. Lindsay's "The Ballad of Lennon Lacy" arrived on Love Army Records via Redeye Distribution on August 21. Guesting on the track is Grammy award-winning solo artist Rhiannon Giddens, as well as many other members of the NCMLA. In 2015 "Rumormill" by The Catch Fire was used for High Life TV commercials. In January 2014, "My Body Politic" was featured on MSNBC's the Melissa Harris-Perry show.
