And brought up socialism, as soon as I did like half the board turned into fiscal conservative chuds. Do you think Tim Mcilrath ever gets tired of chuds just not even listening to or caring about the passionate lyrics he writes for his songs?

Seems like Rage Against the Machine deals with the exact same shit.

    Want some actually radical punk? Most are a lot less melodic than either of those bands but I can toss some recommendations.

      my issue is I love good lyrics I can understand but i love the intense fast energy of punk and skate punk so I usually settle for melodic stuff you know?

      so yes please definitely

        Fair enough other than Propagandhi and maybe Leftover Crack/Choking Victim. Older Chumbawamba is pretty punk (they've always had amazing lyrics). Crass and the whole UK anarcho thing from the 80s was a pretty big jumping off point for me politically, although at this point I can really tell it was mostly written by well meaning kids who mostly had no idea what they're talking about, but the energy is good. I'm into the crustier side of things where melody is a much lesser concern. Maybe 90s heavier American anarcho stuff like Aus-Rotten or Antischism, if you like them I can supply a lot more where that came from.

            Get back at me with what you like, I'm an encyclopedia of obscure punk music. It's also just super fun to be involved with.
