      Bad Religion and Dropkick Murphys are touring this summer. Propagandhi was going to but dropped out for obvious reasons.

        I just wish Propagandi would stop being political and go back to songs like “Stick the fucking flag up your goddamned ass you sonofabitch” ya know? Songs for the kids like they used to do.

        For someone who knows almost nothing about Propagandhi except for briefly listening to them like 20 years, ago, what are the obvious reasons they dropped off the tour?

          They’re extremely leftist, outspoken, and they have to cross the border to come here.

      Every tour should be. It’s just doing your civic duty at this point. If you have a platform, use it

    I love when people get mad that Tom Morello is suddenly political and say they like rage against the machine better before it was political.

    Motherfucker, have you listened to a single lyric?

      Same with people complaining that Star Wars or Star Trek is too woke or too liberal. When was it ever not?

      People turn fascist only to discover that that’s exactly what all their favourite art always opposed.

        I couldn’t find a good version of Street Sweepers when Trent Reznor was performing with them, but there’s some really shitty decade old cell phone footage out there lol.

        Boots is the fucking truth tho, the female vocalist from that video (Pam the funktress) knew Tupac from before he was famous, and Tupac latched onto Boots and cited him as a political influence.

        He’s been around forever, but most people these days know him from the movies and TV shows he writes/directs/produces:

        He’s basically a real life Huey Freeman

    How long until Republican groups convince you all that Tom and Bruce are fascist or something. No true leftist. I’m giving it 30 days

      This seems like an incoherent premise. Neither artist ever supported Trump, and Morello has been outspoken against Trump for like a decade. How do you figure they will whine about them any more effectively now?
