i'm looking for good *modern* anti-authoritarian, pro labor music.

@DeliaChristina emmettdoyle.bandcamp.com/album… Rank And File Officer is a good one for my feels, as is Fuck It All

[jennifersmith@mastodon.online]

@DeliaChristina Well, Rage Against the Machine comes to mind. So does Public Enemy. And, a lot of Bruce Springsteen’s catalog fits the bill, too.

@DeliaChristina

Anything by Tom Morello's solo act "The Night Watchman" is pretty good for this.

@The_T

Broadly, post-war 20C onwards?

Chumbawumba fits.

[angst_ridden@turtleisland.social]

@DeliaChristina some favorites from the last decade or two: Billy Bragg, Midnight Oil, Trotsky Icepick, Emmett Doyle, and the Dropkick Murphys.

@DeliaChristina Ska-P from Spain have been at it for almost 30 years. In many concerts they invite onto the stage the striking labor union of some cause near the venue.

@DeliaChristina Most of Woody Guthrie are classics of this genre, for an excellent cover Dolly Parton sang his "Deportee" amazingly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDfqXkYWzZM

@DeliaChristina

This particular Nocturnal Emissions album:

Which is unlike most of their other albums.

@DeliaChristina The Street Dogs - Modern Day Labor Anthem

[dlakelan@mastodon.sdf.org]

@DeliaChristina
chumbawamba? Its the only "modern" explicitly leftist music I know.

[avirr@sfba.social]

@minmi @DeliaChristina Jesse Wells is fabulous! https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCmb7zAvq9IxHi_UnP93AVSQ

[social@social.deuill.org]

@DeliaChristina Capital by Amyl and the Sniffers fits that bill

[minmi@sfba.social]

@silverwizard @DeliaChristina "Hold Fast, Hold the Line" by this same person won the Labor Notes song writing contest last year and is one of my favorites, though it's imitating traditional labor songs so may not be what you're looking for:

@anne @DeliaChristina To make this more specific, "The Red Album" (both volumes) are probably worth looking into:
