I feel global political oppression or global wars usually produce great music but Macklemore might be the peak.

Nothing against him, some of his songs are good, but I expected real rage inducing stuff with everything going on. Or is this just the state of music as a whole?

Maybe you don't like his music, but there's plenty of us that do. "United Health", for example, was the best piece of art on that subject, bar none.

Don't know who us is. Only heard of him through my post.

Plenty of bands take time to get going.

Zeal & Andor, Manuel Gagneux has been through a lot of wide changes.

Wunderhorse, Jacob Slater seems unrecognizable from past work.

Durry, Austin Durry was in coyote kid for 12 years which was a nothing band by comparison.

Jesse Welles aka Welles aka dead indian aka Cosmic-American...... seems like he is trying to find his sound. A few more adjustments, I can really see him blowing up and still having a message.

Edit: Rock N Roll is a very good song and he kills it on the guitar.
