I probably said this already (so gag me), but I tend to veer towards tracks without vocals.
At this point, when things are political, I feel like its not so much political as much as preaching to the choir. That can serve its own purpose, but it's fucked when terms like radical and urgent get associated with anything of the such. I dont think that kind of music ever changed any minds so much as revved up opinions that already existed.
"that kind of music" can certainly vary. To be broad, I think the first thing that comes to mind is rage against the machine and anything riot-grrl related.
They dont even try to relate to anyone outside of their own group. Which is fine, for their own group. Get all excited, and stuff. Its a cultural thing, and thats awesome.
