E27 The System Is Down: Music and the Toxicity of American Politics

Yep, The Itch is going there too. The election
is here, and in this episode the guys discuss how art relates to
politics, raising questions about the current relevance of
socially-minded rock heavyweights System of a Down and Rage
Against the Machine, and spotlighting a new generation of musical
activist voices, like grandson and FEVER 333. We hope you enjoy
our soapbox, and (at the risk of opening Pandora's box) we would
love to hear your thoughts!
