The Last Internationale

Political rock and roll.  The Last Internationale have two 2014 singles available on Spotify.  Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Indian Blood sounds like recent Green Day fronted by a rock and roll Natalie Maines.  Killing Fields goes less pop-punk and aims for more of a slinky, almost-Queens of the Stone Age sound.  2013's Workers of the World Unite! is an acoustic folk hymn. 

Their website is just a touring schedule and a merch store, but it sounds like this band is following the path of folkies and Rage Against the Machine before them to take a political stand in their music.  Which makes sense, because Tom Morello is apparently their executive producer and Brad Wilk, the Rage drummer, is one third of the band.  This video cover of a Woody Guthrie song includes a spoken history wanting people to organize in their communities and fight injustice:

All of the rhetoric and messaging aside, they can also flat out jam, as seen here in a 30 minute long concert from this year's SXSW:

Which was always kinda the awesome thing about Rage.  They freaking jam.  Their amazing music would suck you in to a fist-pumping, head-nodding groove, and then you'd realize later that you were singing about burning books and filling cells to keep the people down.  That last video above shows a fun, loose rock and roll band backed by a rock-solid drummer.  Sounds like a fun recipe.
