Though my post is a bit late this Monday, it's as vital as any in the Monday Mix Series. Liz from Dance To The Radio and I decided we'd focus our playlists this month on protest songs, songs that have moved people to action in the face oppression. If you think about it, rock & roll doesn't exist without the mindset of rebellion, and what better way to celebrate that than with anthologies of our favorite calls to arms? Hopefully these tracks speak to you like they spoke to us.
