Loads of bands' material has been consistently commenting on social and political issues. Not everyday chart material, especially government charts, but it's out there. Very few songs explicitly call for the chancellor of the exchequer to be pulled apart by two Transit vans but I haven't got the riff right yet.

I also do like to think I'm one of a very small cadre who has written a rap metal track that includes nods to both Tony Martin shooting thieves and the Manchester and Salford Yeomanry killing a child at the Peterloo massacre of 1819.

 

 

Thats a neat trick !

Tell me about it,

 

Manic Street Preachers, if you put up with this your children will be next.

 

Bob Marley and the Wailers, get up stand up.

 

The Specials, ghost town.

 

Give us a clue.

UB40, signing off. A whole protest album.  There are bands out there doing it, but surprise, surprise,  they don't get main stream media attention
