Contributed by ben_conoley. Posted by ben on Thursday, March 27, 2008 at 7:30 PM (EDT)

Exclaim! TV's latest interview is with The Vandals. During a recent stop in Toronto, the Exclaim! crew sat down to do a couple of interviews with the long-running California band, one serious, one not so much.

Who are the good political punk bands that are still around.
Like Propagandhi...
It seems like most punk bands these days don't say anything, really.

Depends on what kind of politics you want to hear about... Anti-flag, Green Day, NoFX come to mind really fast. I should know more... I'm disappointed in myself.

On the other side, you have Guttermouth... that's about it really.

Haha yeah, Guttermouth. I love them. I don't really agree with them, but my one boggle with the left is being so fucking PC, so Guttermouth tickle me.

Don't forget the Vandals. They're in that same boat.

Now, I alike a balance of important songs, and personal songs, like Strung Out keep it real with the politics. There are alot of these bands actually, rather than the totally political such as Propagandhi.
Other socially/politically charged bands: Abhorrance, Architect, Bane (in spurts), Death By Stereo, Dying Fetus, Good Neighbor Policy, Good Riddance, The Haunted, Lagwagon, Misery Index, NOFX (well all of a sudden), Pennywise (more socio issues, that definitely lead to political views), Propagandhi, Strike Anywhere, Stretch Arm Strong (starting to be anyway), Strung Out, Unearth...

9-11 happened. Everyone got really patriotic, forgot what civil rights were, and got more holy than ever before.
And we have the fact that basically to tour, you have to be unemployed (unless you make it like NOFX). So all these rich kids living off daddy's dimes are the ones on the r

What's with NOFX being political political only "all of a sudden?" Vanilla Sex is a political song, Liberal Animation is a political title, etc. They just didn't seem to push it as hard as they do now.

Amen to that. One of my favorites that I have never seen in a club show. Only one shitty Warped set a few years back at noon w/ crappy sound (even by an outdoor show/Warped setup).

Also have never seen Propaghandi.

But "And Now We Dance", "Too Much Drama", "Where's Your Dignity", and "Stop Smiling" all are high on the list.

"If the Gov't Could Read My Mind"

Sometimes I am convinced it is the most perfect song ever written.

I hadn't yet watched any of these Exclaim TV videos... I love the Vandals but that was a pretty weak interview. I mean, "let's play MASH?" That shit is lame.
