Like most “activist bands,” they had their noses rammed hard up their own asscracks. Then they grew up and realized they couldn’t force everyone else to think like they did just because they wrote a catchy song.

They were great, then accidentally released an overplayed pop song that is all people will remember them for, then continued being great.

Basically they kept making music until about 2013 when they disbanded. Political activism aside, their music is a good mood setter. Check out the album Readymades and also the later live album. Some songs are a little emotional but overall quite aurally pleasing. I really like the English Rebel Songs album they released of traditional English tunes. many catchy songs there.

Based on the freeze frame for the video link, I think it’s pretty obvious what happened. HNIC took the lead singer and all the fame went to his head.

And you will have to guess who I am implying, because I can’t even spell Stromboulopolis, let alone George.
