Prophets Of Rage Premiere “Hail To The Chief” Music Video
Prophets Of Rage released their self-titled debut last week, and as Keith said in his 8.5/10 review, “the formula may be familiar, but the results are great.”
Today they’ve shared their long awaited video for ‘Hail To The Chief’ online, along with this statement, “Pay Attention is what the Prophets Of Rage latest video is saying. Don’t let a new Fascism appear wanted normal or sane. While TRUMPOTUS appears to be a parody and whipping of mass distraction. The Donald will either be impeached or bow out from his own trumped up reasons. VP Pence is not a clown. He’s dead serious, the heir apparent who knows US governing and the law. The one to watch with the world in his hands. Pay Attention to the inevitable Hailing To The Chief #46. The SusPEnce of The Thief Of Peace, and he didn’t even….run.“Continue reading

GWAR Responds To Kathy Griffin’s Donald Trump Photo – “We Did It First”
Comedian Kathy Griffin made headlines this week by posting a picture of herself holding up a bloody head resembling that of President Donald Trump. After receiving a ton a backlash for the photo, Kathy has since apologized, but that didn’t stop her from losing fans, and her New Year’s Eve job at CNN. Obviously free speech isn’t tolerated in mainstream media as it is in our scene, because since his election, artists like Brujeria, Puscifer, and many others, have made their opinions quite clear about Trump.
The first group to express their hatred of the new President was, not surprisingly, the almighty GWAR. They’ve “murdered” several Presidents at their shows over the years, and that includes Donald Trump. After seeing all of the backlash that Kathy received for her photo, Beefcake the Mighty took to Facebook last night to call out Kathy Griffin, and remind everyone who did it first. Continue reading

And yet, while it undoubtedly moved them forwards, the smashing of the glass ceiling never happened. Whether that shattering and reaching of new heights is being reserved for You Are We (Sleeps Brothers / crowd-funded) time will tell,Continue reading
