Time’s Insidious Dreams Tick…tock… Bump… bump… I touch the walls to feel them stretch and give. I sense the muffled sounds, the rhythmic thump, thump, around, all around. Here I am. Now I am…able…to hear. Tick…tock… To sway. To stumble. To fall. Not far. Tenaciously tearing at cushions. Calling for more. Shouting no. […]
On Ireland
Despair ye who dare, for the subjugated majority who have lost their national self-respect, who would yet grovel to feed and fuel the low self-esteem of the Irish people. …yet a flame of patriotism burns fiercely, a torch carried doggedly by the few who know; the few with the confidence of an unbeaten minority; the […]
Stiff Little Fingers – Alternative Ulster (Punk)
This punk offering from Belfast band SLF encapsulates the anger of the young of the Occupied Six Counties at the circumstances foisted upon them. The lyrics may not suit everyone there, but there’s no denying the energy in their delivery. Note: Stiff Little Fingers were referenced in the John Cusack film, High Fidelity, also starring […]
Smashing Pumpkins – Rat In A cage [Rock]
Perhaps there are times when we all feel like we’re trapped by circumstance. Debts, more debts and even more debts, pressure, stress and expectation all conspire to box us in between the system’s jagged lines. Thankfully, music is a means of escape, if only for a short time. So here is a reminder that you […]
Beastie Boys – Sabotage
Scorpions of Capitalism – A Brief Analysis
A scorpion asks a frog to carry it across a river. The frog hesitates, afraid of being stung, but the scorpion argues that if it did so, they would both drown. Considering this, the frog agrees, but midway across the river the scorpion does indeed sting the frog, dooming them both. When the frog asks the […]
Pink Floyd – Wish You Were Here
The greatest of respect goes to Roger Waters for his principled and righteous stance in defence of the people of Palestine. Definitely a favourite of Rebel Voice.
Anti-Semitic Israel
The following letter was received recently by Rebel Voice, and is from a submission by a supporter that was sent to the Nationalist, and Catholic-led, daily newspaper, The Irish News. The paper is the largest selling such publication in the Occupied Six Counties of Ireland. It has consistently adopted a pro-Israeli position in its editorial […]
Survivor’s Creed (featuring the Eagles)
Survivor’s Creed …the souls beyond despondency hollowed to Hell’s Standard that causes a collapse of function into temporary oblivion to re-boot, re-ignite, replenish the will… …the echoes of ethereal laughter bound along the emptied space of phantom halls; footfalls dance and skitter across recycled time, inconsequential in face of imagination and mind; the […]
Linkin Park – Hands Held High (Rock Ballad Of Working Class Revolution)
This is a fine rock ballad of revolution that speaks strongly of the inherent corruption that exists within the Capitalist-led society of the United States of America. The US can produce art such as this. It can create beautiful literature and myriad intellectuals that few can equal. Yet it can’t, and has rarely ever, been […]
Bodyrockers – I Like The Way
Even Rebels like to occasionally throw shapes…
Dana Lyons – Cows With Guns
This is a sensational revolutionary song about the famously violent bovine rebellion of Hamburger Hill… their war continues…
