Anyone else like these guys? They are so old I know but I found their cd somewhere in my house and really got into them again. They have a couple political songs but not many...one song I do enjoy though, is called Celtic Aggresson, I'll paste lyrics, they are great.

Somebody cried the death of culture
Somebody spit in a little boy's face
Somebody said you robbed my homeland
Somebody got the wrong impression

So we came across the water
>From the shores of the isle of green
Speaking seperate tongues
In the death of culture

Somebody said you stole my language
Some people will say anything
Somebody said you robbed my heritage
Some people will believe anything
Somebody said you always spoke English
Somebody got the wrong impression

So we came across the water
>From the shores of the isle of green
Speaking separate tongues
In the death of culture
It was the death of culture
It was the death of culture

Bhi machree
Ohin trasna na farraige
Bhi machree
Ohin trasna na farraige

So we came across the water
>From the shores of the isle of green
So we came across the water
Speaking seperate tongues
In the death of culture

:P there it is, I really suggest you give this band a listen, it's worth it.

have you ever heard of the MC5s?there one of the first punk bands(or atleast i consider them punk) and there also semi-political.

You push and push a people, what are they to do?
Soon this corporate run government will be through
You see, it doesn't represent the people anymore
Big business are the pimps and governments' their whores -anti flag-
