Revolutionary Songs For the Rebellious

June 19, 2013June 19, 2013 James Burnette 6 Comments

Today I have an article I’ve been kicking around for a while. Music is a big part of the human experience, used to convey emotions and desires common to all mankind. Today I’ve collected some songs to represent the current revolutionary spirit welling up in not only Americans but people all throughout the world. The governments keep getting bigger and taking more power for themselves and removing more of our freedoms. The songs I picked today show that feeling and strike a chord with me. Some are newer songs and some are older from the hippie movement that saw that government was evil. So lets get down with some music today.

Top Ten Punk Christmas Songs

Bah humbug!Five days into the month of Christmas and I’m already tired of Christmas music. Not that I hate all of it, I just don’t want to hear music on one subject constantly for a month. A guy at my work suggested I put a little more punk in the Survivalpunk and do an article on Christmas Punk music. After thinking about it I only knew one of the top of my head. I dug around to flesh out the list and this is what I’ve come up with. If traditional Christmas tunes are driving you mad as well give this list a try.

Top Ten Survival Songs For TSHTF

June 19, 2012September 1, 2016 James Burnette 1 Comment

I put together a little list of what I feel are the ten most popular Survival Songs. All of them relate to survival and the apocalypse. This list is pretty varied from many music genres. I had trouble stopping the list at ten survival songs. I could have kept going. So I might throw in some honorable mentions at the end.

Even though the list is eclectic the survival songs are enjoyable. I have 80’s pop, classic rock and country music on the list. Even though I was born and raised in Nashville I can’t stand country music. Not to say I have never heard a country song I like. It is rare though.

Many of these survival songs are old. Older than me and many of you. They all have a timeless feel though. They are as relevant today as they were when recorded. The lessons they provide still as important. Most importantly these survival songs are entertaining. You might not love them all like me but you will be able to listen to them all.
