(We Are A) Peasant Revolution Band
(Written by Jeff S. Dodge 2008 : Key of F# minor)

LINER NOTES: I first came up with the idea of the Peasant Revolution Band back in 1995 when I was a member of the AmeriCorp. I had no idea that when I was toying with this concept, the USA was going to become even more corporatized than it was back then.

My premise with all of this is and always has been rather simple; Republican or Democrat, we’ve been watching America turn into a feudalistic nation of ‘Haves’ & ‘Have Nots’ - destruction of the middle class - whatever you want to call it. And despite what your political persuasion may be, this income inequality has soared to historic levels ever since the advent of ‘Reaganomics’ & ‘trickle-down theory’ (politicians across the spectrum have embraced this ideology).

There’s definitely been a lot of other intangibles squeezed through that period, to be sure of; technological advancements, global communication, global warming & the freakin’ Internet to name a few.

But this constant also remains; the Peasantry will always rise up against their feudal overlords once the inequality gets too great. Humans are very much like rubber bands when they respond to pressure - they'll only bend so far before they snap back or break.

We at the Peasant Revolution Band embrace this reality - but we're also hoping to deliver a different kind of message. One of peaceful revolution focused on societal healing and global harmony through art and music rather than violent uprising.

Unfortunately, it rarely works out that way. But we’re ever the eternal optimists - so, if you will, come join our Peasant Revolution Band?
