Communist and socialist punk bands

[Orcris]

Hello, comrades. I love punk music, and like leftist bands like Rise Against and Rage Against the Machine. I don't know many of them, though. What are some leftist/commands/socialist punk and hard rock bands?

Hello comrade! just for future reference search is your best friend. :) but you can checkout this thread, there's a good discussion on various leftist bands. http://www.revleft.com/vb/communist-socialist-rock-t177667/index.html

Also to get you started i'll reccommend what i can think of off the top o my head:

Propagandhi, Anti-Flag, The Clash, Dead Kennedys, Subhumans (uk version not the one from B.C.), The Unseen, The Pinkerton Thugs, Leftover Crack, Choking Victim, No-Cash, Star Fucking Hipsters, The Broadways, Strike Anywhere, Crass, Flux of Pink Indians, A//Political, Disrupt, DooM, Conflict, Reagan Youth, Intifada, Evil Empire, Officer Down, INDK, The Public Serpents, Fifteen, Angelic Upstarts, Red London, Hudson Falcons, The Oppressed, The Infested, Atrocity Solution, Beng Beng Cocktail, Ramshackle Glory, Wingnut Dishwashers Union, Johnny Hobo and The Freight Trains, Ghost Mice, Acoustic Front of Resistence, Aus-Rotten, Behind Enemy Lines, MDC (Millions of Dead Cops), Severed Heads of State, Class War Kids, Good Riddance,

There's more but i can't think of them all at the moment, i'm at work and can't see my itunes. Hope that helps!

Whatever it takes:

Plus everything that was suggested above. Those are all great bands too.

No Leader's list is really exellent, but if you're looking for something explicitly communist, I'd recommend Commandantes (They play Punk-versions of various old communist songs, mostly in german but also in other languages) and Komintern 43 (They're a Marxist-Leninist Skinhead/Punk Band from Spain).

You might also want to have a look at Banda Bassotti and Ska-P. They are both Ska-bands.

you forgot Mischief Brew. Dropkick Murphys and Gogol Bordello aren't specifically socialist but they are advocates for the working class and victims of oppression , and advocate for the end of capitalist thugs. anything from riotfolk.org is a good bet for some decent leftist music.

The Dicks "Hate the police". They were communist in general in the 1980's when that was a no-no. I'd post a video but can't.
