This band has been around for 30 years, but they entered another demographic with the trump era.
I was checking them out and thought I would share with DU.

I dabbled with Punk in college, but I only remember the B-52's.

(26,814 posts)guy, the title was something like "Dropkick Murphy style protest song," and the song simply didn't sound like them.

Lyrics
Throughout centuries in every country
Weve faced the wrath and felt the pain
Of the tyrants sword or the henchmans boot
For another rich mans gain
In the endless quest for wealth and power
They stomp us down with great disdain
Beneath the false gods banner
In the name of all thats vain
Through crime and crusade
Our labor, its been stolen
Weve been robbed of our freedom
Weve been held down and beholden
To the bosses and bankers
Who never gave their share
Of any blood
Of any sweat
Of any tears
Wholl stand with us?
Dont tell us everything is fine
Wholl stand with us?
Because this treatment is a crime
The working people fuel the engine
While you yank the chain
We fight the wars and build buildings
For someone elses gain
So tell me
Who will stand with us?
And as time rolls on
Not a single thing has changed
the wealth gaps only grown
As we all point the blame
Were at the throats of one another
Though we share a single fate
And the golden few laugh on and on
As we all take the bait
Through crime and crusade
Our labor, its been stolen
Weve been robbed of our freedom
Weve been held down and beholden
To the bosses and bankers
Who never gave their share
Of any blood
Of any sweat
Of any tears
Wholl stand with us?
Dont tell us everything is fine
Wholl stand with us?
Because this treatment is a crime
The working people fuel the engine
While you yank the chain
We fight the wars and build buildings
For someone elses gain
So tell me
Who will stand with us?
Through crime and crusade
Our labor, its been stolen
Weve been robbed of our freedom
Weve been held down and beholden
Wholl stand with us?
Dont tell us everything is fine
Wholl stand with us?
Because this treatment is a crime
The working people fuel the engine
While you yank the chain
We fight the wars and build buildings
For someone elses gains
So tell me
Who will stand with us?
So tell me
Who will stand with us?
