Thanks for posting the Rage Against the Machine and NWA songs, Raust. And thank you, Bob, for sharing the Consolidated song!

Freebase, I'd never heard of the punk/heavy metal group Propagandhi and this song and video! I didn't know there was such an activist group out there that was singing about almost everything I'm interested in.

I looked them up and learned that "both in their lyrics and hands-on activism, the band's members champion various anarchist causes and veganism, and have taken an active stance against human rights violations, sexism, racism, homophobia, imperialism, capitalism and religion."

And, to make it even better, "Propagandhi was well-known for lengthy political speeches and rants during live performances." Propagandhi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Swoon!!!! Can you imagine a better fit for me?? I have come home!

Seriously, though, I've started listening through their many many songs to find others I like. Thanks for posting their video, Freebase.
