scottheisel Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Strike Anywhere, but they're not as nearly in-your-face as some others. Same with Against Me!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest conoley Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I suppose I should be more specific. I am doing a paper on Canada's anti-terrorism legislation and how it can be a threat to punk bands that call for tearing the government down. I guess that's the kind of stuff I'm looking for. Strike Anywhere could be a good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgoodcore Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Bad Religion Dead Kennedys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest conoley Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 The funny thing is, Sum 41 could be considered relevant for this paper since they have that line about blowing off the president's head. Meanwhile band's that can actually form cohesive lyrical statements such as Bad Religion don't quite fit the bill as directly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcm1610 Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 The Fallout Boys. I think they're against nuclear power or nuclear weapons or something.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So its has to be bands that are somewhat obscure in their lyrical content or more inflammatory? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottheisel Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Smoke or Fire Yeah man, that song about "the jukebox playing G'N'R" is really about overthrowing the government. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hah, there's not a single band that was mentioned I believe that has strictly political songs. Smoke or Fire has plenty of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swank Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Marilyn's Vitamins were amazing, and veeerry political, but they broke up long ago. You could still probably find some of their stuff on the internets, however. Members went on to form Hostage Life, Bombs Over Providence, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dante3000 Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Rapper Brother Ali had a huge sponsor pull out of his national tour due to the song "Uncle Sam God Damn". However, he's not really political...But he is a white, albino, Muslim. That's like terror level 11! Didn't submission hold break up? Just sayin. Also, World/Inferno. Not the MOST political band, but they are pretty active, and supposedly they subscribe to Anarchist principles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
