Nice, playing it now.

This is as dope as when I found out Serj from SoaD has been doing solo stuff for years.

If you know any other protest/worker music type stuff similar to this I'm curious.

So, when I was looking for stuff like that, what I found really useful was looking for people who did covers of Which Side Are You On, John Brown's Body, The Internationale, and Bella Ciao.

That being said, here's a list of based artists, or artists who have based shit. Lot of it's gonna be rap or rock.

Pete Seeger
Utah Phillips
The Nightwatchman - Tom Morello
Chumbawumba (On top of just being awesome they have an entire album of old ass English Rebel Songs. Fire.)
Dead Pioneers
Dead Prez
The Coup (Anything Boots Riley does is Fire)
Street Sweeper Social Club (Boots Riley and Tom Morello!)
Rebel Diaz
Dog Park Dissidents
Saul Williams
Marc Ribot (Check out his songs of resistance album)
Bambu
Billy Woods
Brother Ali
Lowkey
Modena City Ramblers
David Rovics
Carsie Blanton

I thnk I'm tapped out for now. As we got towards the bottom of the list I'm less familiar but they've got some decent songs.

edit: OH!!!

idk if I'd put Springsteen on the list on his own nowadays, but he does have The Ghost of Tom Joad which is just chefs-kiss . Here he is doing it with Tom Morello https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9f-F1CAB24 I could listen to this on repeat for hours.... I have.

I skimmed a bit and dig it so far. No apologies needed for genre btw. I'm a metal head by heart but I'm good with all sort of music lol.

[-] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago

Word. Wasn't sure if you were looking specifically for the folk music.

In all honesty, I'm still trying to fill the void left after the lead guy in Anti-flag turned out to be a sexual predator. They were my go-to "rebel lefty" music. But I haven't found much since except maybe that folk guy that sounds a bit like Bob Dylan from TikTok.
