Went to see Rise Against in Kitchener on Sunday. Excellent show. Definitely a band I would recommend right now.
SYSTEM OF A DOWN
As well as having an awe-inspiring lead singer, System of a Down's lyrics often speak of important and controversial issues, and question government policies.
"Aerials, in the sky When you lose small mind, you free your life" -from Aerials by SOAD
Below I am posting some lyrics from songs that truly have something to say about things that I think need to be considered.
LYRICS
Prison Song "They're trying to build a prison x2 Following the rights movements You clamped on with your iron fists, Drugs became conveniently Available for all the kids, I buy my crack, I smack my bitch, Right here in Hollywood, Nearly 2 million Americans are incarcerated In the prison system, prison system, Prison system of the U.S. They're trying to build a prison, x3
(for you and me to live in) Another prison system, x3 (for you and me to live in) Minor drug offenders fill your prisons You don't even flinch All our taxes paying for your wars Against the new non-rich, x2
I buy my crack, I smack my bitch, Right here in Hollywood, The percentage of Americans in the prison system Prison system, has doubled since 1985, They're trying to build a prison, x3 (for you and me to live in) Another prison system, x3 (for you and me to live in) For you and I, for you and I , for you and I. They're trying to build a prison, x3 For you and me, Oh baby, you and me. All research and successful drug policy show That treatment should be increased, And law enforcement decreased, While abolishing mandatory minimum sentences, x2 Utilizing drugs to pay for secret wars around the world, Drugs are now your global policy, Now you police the globe, I buy my crack, I smack my bitch, Right here in Hollywood, Drug money is used to rig elections, And train brutal corporate sponsored Dictators around the world. They're trying to build a prison, x3 (for you and me to live in) Another prison system, x3 (for you and me to live in) For you and I, for you and I , for you and I. They're trying to build a prison, x3 For you and me, Oh baby, you and me"

Tool
Tool is another band I have recently started listening to and loving. They write thought-inspiring lyrics that I want more people to hear. Their music pushes the boundaries of music and music ability. For examples, their drummer has taught himself the metaphysics of drumming, and can use each of his limbs independently to play.
LYRICS
Ænema Some say the end is near. Some say we'll see armageddon soon. I certainly hope we will. I sure could use a vacation from this bullshit three ring circus sideshow of Freaks here in this hopeless fucking hole we call LA The only way to fix it is to flush it all away. Any fucking time. Any fucking day. Learn to swim, I'll see you down in Arizona bay. Fret for your figure and Fret for your latte and Fret for your hairpiece and Fret for your lawsuit and Fret for your prozac and Fret for your pilot and Fret for your contract and Fret for your car. It's a bullshit three ring circus sideshow of freaks here in this hopeless fucking hole we call LA The only way to fix it is to flush it all away. Any fucking time. Any fucking day. Learn to swim, I'll see you down in Arizona bay. Some say a comet will fall from the sky. Followed by meteor showers and tidal waves. Followed by faultlines that cannot sit still. Followed by millions of dumbfounded dipshits. Some say the end is near. Some say we'll see armageddon soon. I certainly hope we will cuz I sure could use a vacation from this Silly shit, stupid shit... One great big festering neon distraction, I've a suggestion to keep you all occupied. Learn to swim. Mom's gonna fix it all soon. Mom's comin' round to put it back the way it ought to be. Learn to swim. Fuck L Ron Hubbard and Fuck all his clones. Fuck all those gun-toting Hip gangster wannabes. Learn to swim. Fuck retro anything. Fuck your tattoos. Fuck all you junkies and Fuck your short memory. Learn to swim. Fuck smiley glad-hands With hidden agendas. Fuck these dysfunctional, Insecure actresses. Learn to swim. Cuz I'm praying for rain and I'm praying for tidal waves I wanna see the ground give way. I wanna watch it all go down. Mom please flush it all away. I wanna watch it go right in and down. I wanna watch it go right in. Watch you flush it all away. Time to bring it down again. Don't just call me pessimist. Try and read between the lines. I can't imagine why you wouldn't Welcome any change, my friend. I wanna see it all come down. suck it down. flush it down.

Infected Mushroom
Infected Mushroom are Erez and Duvdev, trance/goa producers from Israel. Their music is like a trip or journey with many interweaving layers. I recently had the opportunity to see them again at The Guvernment and they were ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! wow....their music is just PERFECT! i also got a chance to speak a little with Erez before the show and hopefully he will be getting in contact with me soon about joining our company in our goal for "unity through music"
