Any fans here?

One of the most left wing groups of all time, and my personal favourite band. They provided a voice to my depression, my anger, and my political views, especially in my darkest hours.

Due to my post count, I can't post links, but here are the YouTube codes for some of their songs if you want to check them out:

Motorcycle Emptiness - about the futility of consumerism and commodity fetishism: gavcjNniIvk

From Despair To Where - as far as I can tell, about the boredom and despair encountered in adult existence (and, it could be posited, alienation under the capitalist system): qFewXLjXTSU

Nat West-Barclays-Midlands-Lloyds - obvious: cpk7r9sVTKE

There By The Grace Of God - poverty, homelessness: FHuBrh2B5nc

The Masses Against The Classes - obvious: 2Vi7kCxMBTY

For their best stuff, you really need to listen to the entirety of The Holy Bible.

Admittedly, being such a fan has led me into quite a bit of commodity fetishism! But that's by-the-by... ;)

Yes, great band they live about 20 minutes away from me. The Holy bible is the best album.
