Nineties Revisited: Political Prisoners


Original video located here. Accessed 5th July 2024

Song title: Political Prisoners

Artist: iNsuRge

Year: 1995

Why I like this song:

They say that your tastes in music will forever be defined by what you listened to at age 14. And I certainly agree with that notion. And thus, we have a song from that period of time, me at age 13-14, when i realised there was indeed a world outside the bubble that was commercial radio.

At the time, there were two things that struck me about this song. Firstly it was proof that heavy guitars and electronics can indeed work together. And secondly, just how angry the song is.

In fact I wonder how this song will fare if it was released today. I mean rallying against corporate greed is a surefire way to guarantee an immediate audience, right?
