When frustration with the system boils over, you need songs exactly like the new track from Seattle's The Refusers.
With "Buck The System", the band fires off a snotty rock anthem that goes straight to your ears and your feet.
The cover makes it crystal clear: a clenched fist in barbed wire against blazing flames and a protesting crowd captures the rebellious vibe perfectly.
Musically, frontman Michael Belkin and his crew serve up a fat mix of driving Les Paul guitars and the classic sound of a Hammond organ.
It's reminiscent of the great protest songs of past decades, but brings its own modern punk attitude.
The chorus is an absolute earworm that invites you to sing along loudly and raise your fists.
There's no beating around the bush here; it's a clear statement against corruption and injustice.
If you're into honest, handmade rock with a strong message, you should definitely add this track to your playlist.
A powerful piece of music that hits the nerve of our time and gets you excited for the upcoming album.
