steady riot. King For A Couple Of Days Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 2907	November 12th, 2006 at 01:38pm Strike Anywhere is a punk rock/melodic hardcore band from Richmond, Virginia. They formed in 1999 after the demise of Thomas Barnett's previous band, Inquisition, taking their name from the Inquisition song "Strike Anywhere". Their music is characterized by fast tempos, catchy melodies, and emotionally-charged vocals delivered via shouting and singing. Strike Anywhere is a political band, with lyrics touching on such issues as police brutality, anti-capitalism, women's rights, and globalization. They have also contributed tracks to political benefit albums, such as a live version of "Sunset on 32nd" for 1157 Wheeler Avenue: A Memorial for Amadou Diallo and "To the World" for the Rock Against Bush, Vol. 1 album. According to the liner notes for their album Change is a Sound, they support "the vegetarian lifestyle, the living wage movement and the fight against corporate globalization" With its 2006 release Dead FM, the band moved away from political slogans to address "more sociological ideas about why these (events) happen." Their logo is the Antifascist Circle, a circle with three downward-right pointing arrows, which is "an international symbol for resistance, equality, and the solidarity of all peoples against oppression" Strike Anywhere generally allows audience members to record their live performances for personal, non-commercial use, and has gone so far as to authorize the Internet Archive to create a section where fans can upload and share their recordings. Official site myspace I really, really love Strike Anywhere. I love their messages in their songs.
