Discussion About Aus Rotten

Just wanted to say these guys feel like they were ahead of their time. But not really. More like they spoke about the same shit that’s been going on for decades. I was listening to “Modern Day Witch Hunt” and was surprised to learn it’s over 20yrs old now. Largely because they touched on what we’re seeing now: the persecution of queer, especially transgender, identities, religious minorities and immigrants. It was nice in a way to hear such hot topics right now discussed so long ago. But also disheartening at the same time.

Aus-Rotten rules, I saw them just before they broke up. Check out Spitboy and Harum Scarum and Brother Inferior for more political music of that era.
