The iconic punk band Gang of Four from Leeds, U.K. released a new song apropos for the times : “No Kings Here”. A political statement for sure! 

Trump and his supporters will not like the track, but the current U.S. pro-democracy movement will see it as a new anthem. If you scroll down on the linked article you can listen to the new release, which is also available at Bandcamp. 

Artists like Gang of Four and Bruce Springsteen (“Streets of Minneapolis”) are using their music to speak out against authoritarianism, corruption, and neofascism. They believe it is important for artists to resist the current regime and make a stand against antidemocratic forces.
