earthlyguychumbawamba weren’t just that band who sang “i get knocked down.” they came out of the anarcho-punk scene in UK in the 80s, playing in squats and protests, writing songs about power and hypocrisy. one of their most fierce was “the day the nazis died,” a warning that fascism never really disappeared, it just learned how to dress better. then in 1997 they shocked the world with “tubthumping,” a working-class anthem disguised as a pop hit. they used the money and fame to fund activist causes, still singing for the same struggle they began with. I hope every artist out there is working resistence and revolution into their creations - it's now or never.

Law enforcement sources say the suspect in an ambush near White House was granted asylum in April.
