Inquisition - Uproar

 
  A song today from a band who weren't around too long but who's members went on to form a number of other bands including Strike Anywhere, Ann Beretta and River City High.

  Inquisition formed in 1991 in Richmond, Virginia by a bunch of high school kids.... Thomas Barnett (vocals), Mark Avery (guitar), Russ Jones (drums) and Leer Baker (bass). Baker left after a year and was replaced by Rob Huddleston.

  Their first album, The Broken Songs, came out in 1993 but it was the follow up, 1995's Revolution, I Think It's Called Inspiration that was their piece de resistance. It's a really great passionate and energetic album and you can check it out here : https://a-frecords.bandcamp.com/album/revolution-i-think-its-called-inspiration-af044

  The band went their separate ways after a show with AFI on Sept 8 1996 but there've been occasional reunion shows, one of which was recorded for a live cd/dvd called Uproar : Live And Loud!

  Passionate, political punk rock doesn't come much better than this, this is Uproar.....

She said,
"Boy answer the question"
And we've been patiently waiting all our lives
Told me to sit down and shut up all our lives

[Chorus:]
And this is the uproar
Uproar, uproar, 
This is the uproar
Uproar, uproar, uproar
This is the uproar
Go!

For the prisoner of conscience 
Walking fearing where you tread
Crimes against the people that the government led
Amnesty now for an innocent dread
(Is it) Only for the rich that the poor get bled

[Chorus]

For the mind of my sister fight the one eyed views
Body of my mother torn broken and abused
People in the cities and the streets beating down
Color culture stand together
Make this sound
Make this sound
So won't you make this, make this, make this sound

Because you said, 
"Boy answer the question"
And we've been patiently waiting all our lives
Told me to sit down and shut up all our lives
Knocking me out of my head
Into my heart as it's bled
Knocking me out of my head
Into the heart as it's bled, out

Because we sing
An oi oi song
And a unity song 

Old conflict put them to bed
Real enemy please show your head
Old conflict put them to bed
Will the real enemy please show your head
