Comment on Where are the good political songs?

Billy talent are great for political, fuck the government/ big corporations type songs. Not protest songs so much. But it feels pretty on theme. Their messages are great.
Surprise surprise and viking death march are two of my personal favourites songs by them.

I hate to break it to you but Billy Talent formed in 1993! ;)

That album is absolutely killer and I’ve loved BN since I heard Try Honesty many moons ago.

That said … They have been singing about how young people need to fight the system while having one of the most corporate images I can think of for bands in their category.

Watching a 40 year old man dance around an arena in VANs and Atticus hoodies while telling contemporary youth that their generation is a “fucking joke” is peak cringe to me.

Still love the music though. Wish he’d do more heartbreak songs, they’re his forte.
