I think more than half the music I listen to is political, so this is the perfect thread for me :v:

I'll try not to spam too much :sun:

Here's some good anti-fascist ones:

ZSK - Antifascista

Awesome song and awesome video :allears:

Translation of the refrain:

quote:

Our City
Do you notice that
for you there's no place there
Alerta Alerta Antifascista

We stop your marches
Hate-Propaganda
Alerta Alerta Antifascista

No matter where you emerge
We are there first
Alerta Alerta Antifascista

We don't need any bans
we can handle it far better
Alerta Alerta Antifascista

Billy Bragg did a decent cover of that one with revised lyrics

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbddqXib814

Another great one with revised lyrics is Which Side Are You On by B. Dolan, about transphobia, homophobia and sexism in hip-hop

Also Awesome: Dropkick Murphy's - Which Side Are You On

Laibach

My favourite Laibach song - B-Mashina:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgqjnzkYPnA
Such a good song, and awesome apocalyptic sounding lyrics about space travel:

quote:

Only one day is left
Only one day
We are leaving the others
We are going away

Today we all steal
Animals we are
Possession is lost

Our souls are from the wild
and wings to reach the sky
Let the sun fall into the ocean
Let the earth erupt in flame
It is enough to have the strength and knowledge
to raise our dream machines into the sky

Let them sleep who do not know
the final day is here
The very last
and we leave at dawn

There is no force, no money and no power
to stop us now and change our fate
Now every problem is destroyed
We raise our hands and bodies to the peak
Into the Universe - towards the stars we go

[Chorus]

Machines we are sending to the skies
above us all
And leave behind those who don't know
of the final day
We leave in sleep those who don't know
We leave at dawn
We are driven by the B-machine
Wild B-machine that never stops

The Coup also seems somewhat popular around here, even though the group's disbanded Boots Riley is still alive and kicking:

The coup hasn't disbanded though, or is that something really recent? I was part of their opening act in the Netherlands half a year ago when they were touring in Europe :sun:

Any Mick'll do - Dick Gaughan & Brian MacNeill
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAArSOvdcZo

Has these great lyrics, among others:
I hate every Jew who kicks a Palestinian
And every Nazi that ever kicked a Jew
I hate every stupid bigoted opinion
and if you don't hate them too,
then I hate you!

:allears:

Hah, that is really good news. Somehow I had it in my head that Pam the Funktress left and Boots went with Street Sweepers for good. Just looked it up and it seems I was entirely delusional.

Ah yeah, Boots said that Pam doesn't like to go on tour, so she didn't come with them to Europe. Maybe that's where you got the idea from.

Atari Teenage Riot's Hetzjagd auf Nazis, which translates to 'Hound (as in the hunting) the Nazis'

While we're posting Atari teenage riot, I love this video of their performance during a 1999 Berlin May day protest where there is a full riot around their mobile stage and they get arrested at the end :v:

Eric Bogle - The Band played Waltzing Mathilda is such a depressing anti-war song

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WG48Ftsr3OI

quote:

Now when I was a young man, I carried me pack, and I lived the free life of a rover
From the Murray's green basin to the dusty outback, well, I waltzed my Matilda all over.
Then in 1915, my country said son, It's time you stopped rambling, there's work to be done.
So they gave me a tin hat, and they gave me a gun, and they marched me away to the war.

And the band played Waltzing Matilda, as the ship pulled away from the quay
And amidst all the cheers, the flag-waving and tears, we sailed off for Gallipoli
And how well I remember that terrible day, how our blood stained the sand and the water
And of how in that hell that they called Suvla Bay, we were butchered like lambs at the slaughter.
Johnny Turk he was waiting, he'd primed himself well. He shower'd us with bullets,
And he rained us with shell. And in five minutes flat, he'd blown us all to hell
Nearly blew us right back to Australia.

But the band played Waltzing Matilda, when we stopped to bury our slain.
We buried ours, and the Turks buried theirs, then we started all over again.
And those that were left, well we tried to survive, in that mad world of blood, death and fire
And for ten weary weeks, I kept myself alive, though around me the corpses piled higher
Then a big Turkish shell knocked me arse over head, and when I woke up in my hospital bed,
And saw what it had done, well I wished I was dead. Never knew there was worse things than dyin'.

For I'll go no more waltzing Matilda, all around the green bush far and free
To hump tent and pegs, a man needs both legs-no more waltzing Matilda for me.
So they gathered the crippled, the wounded, the maimed, and they shipped us back home to Australia.
The legless, the armless, the blind, the insane, those proud wounded heroes of Suvla
And as our ship pulled into Circular Quay, I looked at the place where me legs used to be.
And thanked Christ there was nobody waiting for me, to grieve, to mourn, and to pity.

But the band played Waltzing Matilda, as they carried us down the gangway.
But nobody cheered, they just stood and stared, then they turned all their faces away
And so now every April, I sit on me porch, and I watch the parades pass before me.
And I see my old comrades, how proudly they march, reviving old dreams of past glories
And the old men march slowly, old bones stiff and sore. They're tired old heroes from a forgotten war
And the young people ask, what are they marching for? And I ask myself the same question.

But the band plays Waltzing Matilda, and the old men still answer the call,
But as year follows year, more old men disappear. Someday no one will march there at all.
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda, who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?
And their ghosts may be heard as they march by that billabong, who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?

The opening track & video of US death metal band Nile's newest album has taken a definite anti-ISIS slant. Probably not indicative of a resurgence of politics in the genre as a whole though.

Nile - Call To Destruction

Nile is so good :allears:

Their song called Kafir! is also great. First time I've heard a metal band grunt "Allahu Ackbar" :v:

Also, Fresku is a dutch hip-hop artist with some great songs about racism in dutch society. This one is about racism and islamophobia ingeneral in the netherlands:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLuSQBcJWfQ

And this one is hilarious and about how you can only get on Dutch radio as a hiphop artist if youre white, because hip-hop is just not popular (unless made by white artists).

Also, a Turkish leftist band called bANDISTA i recently found and really like:
