Posting some of my favorite post-rock:
If there’s something as a punk band singing about Rothbard be sure I’ll be ready to buy the album as soon as it goes on sale.
About Lemmy. The man’s so awesome I don’t even know where to begin singing his praises. If you want a taste of Lemmy-thought be sure to read his autobiography, White Line Fever. Suffice to say I picked it up at 9PM and put it down at almost 3AM. I finished it the next day. To quote a song of his… Rock ‘n’ Roll!
My band might not be politically aware, but I’m going to try writing an anarchist song, maybe I can convince them to play and record it at least, I’ll post it here if I have any success 
^I’ve heard of them too. I play bass too!
That’ll be three bass players now.
I play bass, drums, and guitar. It would be awesome to start an anarcho-capitalist punk band. I live in Montana so thats probably a problem
Been listening to punk since I was a toddler, my dad was always playing the Ramones. Its been my favorite music genre ever since, too bad all of the political stuff is ultra left. A lot of Choking Victim’s anti-state lyrics are good but theres too much anti-capitalist lyrics to go along with them. I wish they knew the difference between capitalism and corporatism/crony-capitalism.
If anyone happens to live in Montana and wants to start a band, let me know!

I’ve seen Leftover Crack twice, and both times Stza was a complete ass. Second time I saw them their merch table had a jar for donations for food or herion or whatever, and I see the guitarist and someone else walk by drinking Starbucks. Seemed ironic. On tour they complain about how bad it is at C-Squat (why live there?) yet they do have heat, running water, electricity, etc. After going through their lyrics it’s just too hypocritical.
Tell me about it. Growing up, I was listening to hip hop only, but at some point I was introduced to rock through punk rock. So the rock I was listening to (and a bit of the hip hop too, example: Immortal Technique) was leftist. I used to listen to Leftover Crack a lot too. The Dead Kennedys are great, Jello Biafra even has great spoken, but there’s too much economic ignorance in the genre. Lol at least some hip hop advocates selling drugs, buying guns for defense, and making money.
“I play bass, drums, and guitar. It would be awesome to start an anarcho-capitalist punk band. I live in Montana so thats probably a problem”
That’s the beauty of the internet! Not so good if all you want to do is get together and jam out some punk tunes, but there is a bunch of great software and websites for online collaboration for musicians that allow people with access to DAW programs such as Ableton Live to swap ideas and compose tunes without ever meeting. I think it would be very much in the spirit of mises.org if some forumites would get together and create libertarian-inspired music 
is a great place to start.
A three bassist anarchocapitalist online band? lol
When it comes to punk for a while I generally didn’t listen to that much of the political stuff, and if I did it was only 80’s (Crass, Flux of Pink Indians, Crucifix, DIRT, etc.), and I mainly just listened to UK82 which while being political, didn’t actually “preach” like some bands did. Bands like Court Martial, Discharge, Destructors, The Expelled, etc. generally had anti-war, anti-state themes without advocating a certain political stance.
What’s pathetic is that the political punk bands now (Resist and Exist being one of them) have typical mundane, mediocre lyrics, while their 80’s counter parts generally had something rather intelligent to say. I heard something from Resist and Exist along the lines of fighting corporations that do this and that yadda yadda without being specific about anything. Then people go around who listen to that music blaming corporations for the simplest of things.
The band Appalachian Terror Unit released a song called Greenwashing that was about people who are trying to cash in on climate change. I thought it was a rather nice change of attitude involving social and political matters instead of it being some “global warming is destroying us we must fight the capitalist” type of jargon.
Same, I started off with the Dead Kennedys, Black Flag, Minor Threat, which is all political. Much of the rest of the punk I listen to, I listen to mostly for the music and lyrics, not political message. Most music has a crappy or vague political message anyway.
I wish I liked punk, I keep trying it out every few years (New York Dolls, Sex Pistols, The Clash etc.) and it just doesn’t sit right with my aesthetics or something. I don’t hate it, I just think I must be missing something, which I figure is probably the point of the whole thing anyway. Instead been listening to a lot of Ella Fitzgerald, Nancy Wilson, Etta James, Sam Cooke, Fats Domino, Muddy Waters, Albert King, and even though I am a Beatles guy, lately I have been listening to a lot of Stones.
Oh and we need some libertarian music. I thought of a couple libertarian lyrics today:
Let me tell you about Ludwig Von Mises
Who saw the socialist calculation thesis
and tore it into pieces. You wanna see some increases?
Not 'till the state ceases . . .
. . its market interventions
The state wins if it gets you asking the wrong questions.
Gets by with cushy pensions
while you’re too distracted to mention
the millions locked up in State detention.
Couldn’t even count all the inventions. . .
that were never created.
Don’t think they’re not related.
Re-stated:
I would be elated
if the state became outdated
another line:
When I go Bohm-Bawerkian
Marxists search out Kevorkian
Graves from the Misfits started a conservative punk label. Not sure really much about it. And for the love of god, lets not have any Danzig vs Graves debates on here, they both were good.
Is there some connection between playing bass and being libertarian? Every musician here seems to play bass, and the most famous libertarian musicians mentioned here(Lemmy and Novoselic) are both bassists.
