    Out of your list I rate Lacuna Coil very highly, I don't know the others except Depeche Mode, who are not my thing which is a tad ironic, I believe, as I think Lacuna Coil were influenced by them. They don't sound alike though, Lacuna Coil are pretty heavy.

    Well, I love the Ramones, SLF, Undertones, Moondogs, Vandals, Cock Sparrer, and I love Flogging Molly, Mutiny, The Prodigals, Real McKenzies and the majority of Celtic punk...

    EDIT:
    Love Irish folk stuff too.

    The name of this thread is very misleading. I thought you were asking (in a very round about way) if anyone knows about nazi music, so I was just gonna slip in:

    Screwdriver...

    But yeah, I'd say alot of music isn't antifascist, hell, Sex Pistols as hell aren't. I think it would be harder to find/name bands that are specfically antifascist.

    So yeah, maybe think about how you name your threads

    In what way? I can think of plenty of bands that are other things and anti-fascist. Just three off the top of my head.

    I'm not that firmiliar with those bands I'm afraid, vaguely though.

    But yeah, I guess I'm not totally sure what you mean as a result, but I guess maybe what I coulds say is that yeah, sure there might be heaps of bands that are either not racist, or anti-racist, but its completely different to be specifically anti-fascist. As in, bands that specifically target fascists as the scum that they are in their lyrics. Just like you would call a band with alot of feminist lyrics a feminist band, a anti-fascist band has alot of anti-fasicist lyrics, and its very distinctly anti-fascist.

    Hell, I can't think of alot of bands like that.

    Does that answer you question? Maybe you should tell me more about the bands you mentioned.

    Well, the manic street preachers have a song which is about the republicans in the spanish civil war as is totally anti-fascist, quoting lines from republican fighters stating "if I can shoot rabbits then I can shoot fascists".

    However, they are antio-fascist, but more predominantly they are socialists. I can't think of any bands which have just an ati-fascist position, they tend to have other leftwing beliefs as well, if they are anti-fascist. But specifically being anti-fascist is not rare.

    I may be on the completely wrong track, but I have the feeling 20cdndollars meant music that not only isn't anti-fascist, but isn't predominantly political or socially aware either. Then again, maybe I'm wrong.

    Maybe you have a point. I personally, even though am into a genre (punk) that you would expect to have alot of anti-fascist content, I can't think of alot of bands that fit the mold i imagine. But maybe its also i stick the label more to antifa and SHARPie type bands?
