Protest songs

[AHPP]

If anyone could understand the vocals of System of a Down songs, they would count as protest songs.

A lot of Flogging Molly songs qualify but sometimes feel contrived.

In conclusion

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 

[Woodworks]

These guys had a thing or two to say about the ways of our world

Gina G, ‘Ooh Ahh Just a Little Bit’

A heartfelt and strident protest song about how’s she’s not getting enough cock.

 

 

[Stere]

No expert but don't think that track has a dnb beat music time signature?

 

Dnb has more Syncopated beats?

 

HARD HOUSE rap metal?
