I feel global political oppression or global wars usually produce great music but Macklemore might be the peak.

Nothing against him, some of his songs are good, but I expected real rage inducing stuff with everything going on. Or is this just the state of music as a whole?

      Holy shit, your band is fucking fire!

      Edit: I listened to your whole album and it’s great. Reminds me of the early 2000s Fat Wreck Chords era when punk was honest and real, but also fun. Like some NoFX/MXPX stuff plus shades of this band named King Kong but louder. Thanks for linking to it!

        Then you might be surprised to learn that there is no band, just me! I played and sang all the parts except for drums, those I made with Hydrogen. I did all of that using mostly open-source tools, all in my living room!

          Yeah, I was wondering about the drums part in the credits for each song, because it seemed odd to have different names for each drum set. Is it just a different setup and you give it a name?

            It’s a different virtual drumkit, and I swapped some pieces here and there when I felt like one or the other sounded better for a specific song. The names were set by the creator of the drumkit, and I didn’t really know how to credit them so I might have gone overboard with it lol
