Named for Founding Father James Madison, they’re a “libertarian … pro-American … pro-constitution” rock band. Where other bands sing about ex-girlfriends and drunken nights, Madison Rising sings about Occupy Wall Street, the Second Amendment and liberal media bias.
Lead singer David Bray described the band as a “war drum for patriotism”: a constant and uninterrupted pro-American message.
“There are a lot of country acts that are out there that’ll say they’re all about the USA, and then in the next song they’re talking about bar fights and drinking beer in a bar,” explained Bray in an interview with The Daily Caller. “We’re not against those things, but our album and our message is very strictly” on topic, he said.
He wants kids, whose initial instincts might be to go out and do something unproductive “to hear his music and say, “I’m going to go and I’m going to do something a little bit more positive with my life. I’m not going stand around with a sign … I’m going to start a business.”
Very cool. I’ll have to check out their music.
Thanks for the notice. One of the reasons my favorite band was and is RUSH. Lots of Ayn Rand references in their earlier stuff.
Also try Stuck Mojo. VERY conservative metal band. They were investigated by the Secret Service for the anti-Clinton song “Crooked Figurehead” and CAIR filed a complaint with the Justice Department over SM’s song “Open Season.”

Thanks for the thread...this group should be heard.
RIGHT TO BEAR
Late one night as I came home
And saw the front door broken in
I grabbed my piece and went inside
To see who lurks within
There we stood face to face
My gun, the thief, and I
Man you should have seen him run
When I cocked that .45
Disarmed our rights will disappear
We won’t let it happen here
Chorus:
Its one of my rights as a free man
To protect my home when needed
I demand my right to bear arms
Its one of my rights as a free man
To protect my home when needed
I demand my right to bear arms
The government makes the gun laws
So they can take our right to own
Every citizen un-armed
Is a citizen they control
All they see are weapons
It’s the only thing they know
Disarm the voting country-men
And society will fall
You’ll never take our guns away
In return for tyranny
Chorus
The people have spoken
We won’t let it happen
We won’t let it happen here
Chorus

Now there's no more oak oppression
For they passed a noble law
Now the trees are all kept equal
By hatchet, axe, and saw!
Actually sounds a bit like Kipling to me.

Youtube time
You ought to check out Poker Face, or at least some of their older stuff. They’ve kind of gone off the deep end the last few years into stuff that would make Ron Paul shake his head.
Or, if you want to go mock reactionary, check out Boston’s “The Upper Crust” (formerly The Titanics)...
Definitely some pretty good songs. Went ahead and grabbed the full album :)
