The Clash style Marxist punk/post-punk

[revolutionary crab]

Does anyone have any recommendations re: the thread title? I also dig Sham 69, Gang of Four, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and sometimes Dead Kennedys. Been trying to find some more marxist punk but I don't like metal and I usually just end up finding stuff too hardcore for my tastes.

[o well this is ok I guess]

whoa man
one thread is enough.

Give Rage Against the Machine a shot.

Give Rage Against the Machine a shot

What a stereotyped music reccommendation. Not what you would consider punk either.


I suggest Gang of Four, definitely.

International Noise Conspiracy?

I know more anarchist bands than Marxist ones but I'm pretty sure the international noise conspiracy were marxist. But seriously hardcore and metal is where the good stuff's at.

Edit: pluckedflowers beat me to it.

There are some really cool (south) European bands that dare to experiment with the punk boundaries, funily enough these are often Marxist skinhead bands, a scene by outsiders vilivied for being dogmatic.

Some suggestions (might be some anarcho-syndicalists in there):

Les Partisans
Brigada flores magnon
Redskins
Stage bottles
Klasse kriminale
Ska-p
Blaggers ita
The oppressed
Angelic upstarts
Los fastidios
Chumbawumba
Red alert
Red London
86 crew
Reazione
Betagarri
The suspects
Atilla the stockbroker/ barnstormer
Propaghandi
The wakes
Heros and zeros
The prowlers

Basically anything released by madbutcher records, insurgence records and kob records that I haven't mentioned yet...

non political (as far as I know)/vague leftists/social-dems:
Loikaemie
Oi-melz
Springtoifel
The adicts
Cocksparrer
Bad manners
Pogues
Floggin Molly
Streetdogs
Dropkick murphys
Mad sin
Agrolites
the business

Geez. I take it you're not a rage fan then.

[revolutionary crab]

I tried Noise Conspiracy a while ago. While they certainly may be Marxist, I'm not sure they're actually good, in my opinion.

[revolutionary crab]

When I last listened to Noise Conspiracy the vocals seemed pretty off but maybe I was just listening to a bad album

Geez. I take it you're not a rage fan then.
I was once a rage fan. Then I had an epiphany and learnt they were really nothing special.

[El Louton]

Some NOFX stuff has reggae hints similar to the Clash.

[El Louton]

As does Rancid with early Clash records

[Chairman Wow]

Gang of Four is pretty much the definitive Marxist post-punk. Delta 5, too.

The Pop Group is another one though I wouldn't necessarily describe them as marxist.

Some NOFX stuff has reggae hints similar to the Clash.

And NOFX has some great anti-religion, anti-right songs.

I like Rancid. Don't know about their politics but it is definitely working class music.

I'll let that stand for the first album and, for the most part, their last two albums. But Evil Empire is pure gold.

I always found Evil Empire to be the best of their albums. But today the only tracks I think are in any way good are People of the Sun and Without a Face. Rage just really doesn't have the same appeal it had for me a few years ago.

So what is 'working class music'?
