Some more awesome political oriented bands...

Amebix
Wolfpack/Wolfbrigade
Phil Ochs (Better than Bob Dylan. No lie.)
Crass/Flux of Pink Indians/Rudimentary Peni/Zounds (if you're into that kind of stuff.)
Dead Kennedys

I think Propagandhi is the only one of these that is still around though. So yeah. Pick them.

Casualties, Propaghandi, Black Flag, and basically any older punk. More recently, I guess early Rise Against, some Against Me!.

I was at an Owen show and Kevin Devine was on the bill. I think he sang a political song or two. And something about the army. He kept staring at this girl the whole set. It was fucking creepy.

Haha. I guess I should have read the original post.
Yeah I think he might have mentioned some things, but I was too hungover to pay attention. I was kind of just trying to focus on not throwing up by the time Mike Kinsella got on stage.

Against Me!'s first album is decidedly anarchistic. an awful lot of punk bands from the 70s and 80s revolved around political issues. some more contemporary songs would be Brand New - "The Archers Bows Have Broken" and The Offspring - "Half-Truism". Anti-Flag is transparently political but they aren't very good.

70s/80s punk bands were great. Shenanigans. One of the worst brand new songs, and never listen to offspring op. eva eva.
