The Emo Social Club Podcast

Coming Out Of My Cage, Into The Land Of The Free

Episode Summary

The Killers, best known for writing top banger of all time Mr. Brightside (and other songs too probably) have released a new song called "Land Of The Free', a blatant protest song in the same vein as Bruce Springsteen and 60's folk protest songs. So if The Killers are willing to make their voices heard on current political issues, why aren't more artists making music taking a stand for what they believe in? Is there a fear that some of their fans will be lost if they don't agree with the opinions in the music? Do they see the backlash a company like Gillette receives for their message, and decide it isn't worth it? Brian and Lizzie discuss these issues through a shoddy internet connection with a 720p video quality, and also Brian's Twitch channel and why you should support your friend's work when they share it on social media. 2019 - The Year Of #Like #Comment #Subscribe!
