Total Massacre are from Los Angeles and list amongst their influences the likes of Black Flag, Circle Jerks, Adolescents and Dead Kennedys as well as oi legends such as Angelic Upstarts and The Oppressed. They play aggressive hardcore punk and write politically charged songs on subjects like how the system works for the rich but not the poor, dipshit president Trump, casting off your chains and taking to the streets and how if you're a fascist they're coming for you. They've just self released new album The System Works... and it's both powerful and thought provoking. It's available on vinyl and as a name your price download : https://totaleffingmassacre.bandcamp.com/album/the-system-works

Despite being an LA band, gravel throated frontman Cap'n No Fun's accent sounds (to my grizzled old ears) as though he's Australian (he also brings to mind the vocals on classic track Stuart by The Dead Milkmen!). I really enjoyed his vocal performance. The rest of the band, Mike, Jeff and Tommy all provide suitably boisterous backing. This song is about white supremacy and it's called Border Wall...
The legacy of slavery:
The dumbest assholes in the
Whole fucking country get
Representative democracy, while
The rest of us get stuck paying
For a border wall
A total waste of cash
What's it good for? Votes in Texas
Fuck their border wall
Fuck their border wall
Fuck their border wall
Fuck their border wall
What's it good for?
Midwest votes
Sausage-eating assholes
What a brain-dead shitshow
But they love their
Border wall
Fuck their border wall
Fuck their border wall
Fuck their border wall
Grandma and grandpa
Retire down south
Sure, they're afraid of their brown-skinned neighbors, but
Their vote counts
More than yours
More than mine
Turns out it's worth more than
All of ours combined
We couldn't possibly have designed
A dumber system if we fucking tried
There's a lot of things
You gotta remember in 2019
They mean voter suppression
When they say "voter ID."
When they say
"border security,"
Those motherfuckers mean white supremacy
Oh yeah, and uhhhh
Fuck their border wall
Fuck their border wall
Fuck their border wall
Fuck their border wall
