Strength Through Song
Touring political bands collectively stand in the Bay Area
Bookmark and Share
   

Bay Area homes and punk venues often host clusters of political bands from around the country on makeshift stages while hosting bands inside murky basements. Greyskull and Owen Hart are two touring metallic hardcore bands composed primarily of younger generation vegan and straight edge anarcho-punks from Washington who are spreading their powerful yet personal political lyrics.

The radical lyrics from both bands are confrontational; the bands discuss animal rights, class, racism and sexuality but stimulate these often played-out topics in punk by tying in their own personal experiences and struggles against mainstream society.
