Bands: Bad Religion, Anti-Flag, Bouncing Souls, Pennywise, Rise Against, Strike Anywhere, The Ramones, Clash, Dead Kennedys, No Use For A Name, Propagandhi, Strung Out, Behind Enemy Lines, Wartorn...any band of any genre who cares about this world and fights for change.
Life:
-Negatives: Racism, Sexism, Homophobia and other unnecessary, idiotic, ignorant views. War...in particular the "War on Terror", public apathy and ignorance. Politicians who raise money for campaigns while claiming they want to eliminate homelessness, poverty, war, genocide...but never actually do anything once they get into office. Wait, that means just about every politician doesn't it? Hmm..
-Positives: People who struggle for peace, justice and independence! EZLN, FSLN, radical queer, feminist, anti-racist, anti-war, anti-capitalist and local movements. ¡Ya Basta!
Sounds Like
If Anti-Flag, Bad Religion, Strike Anywhere, Behind Enemy Lines, Noam Chomsky and The Bouncing Souls had kids together during a WTO or G8 riot and then they formed a melodic, crusty, hardcore, poppy political punk band, they would sound like a good version of Merge Left.
We are a political punk band from Saint Paul, Minnesota. We feel that our generation needs to wake up and make a real change, for our country and for the world.
"We're not with the terrorists, we're not with the United States government but we're not alone."

Charles Dickens began pasting labels on blaking pots. The tragedy of his first love penetrated the depths of his soul, and converted him into one of the world's truly great authors. That tragedy produced, first, David Copperfield, then a succession of other works that made this a richer and better world for all who read his books. Dissappointment over love affairs, generally has the effect of driving men to drink, and women to ruin; and this because most people never never learn the art of transmuting their strongest emotions into dreams of a constructive nature.
