About Me

"If we are to save the planet--by ending Pax Americana, rethinking the idea that war is inevitable, moving away from oil to alternative energies, putting the brakes on a consumer society gone wild, treating poverty and inequality anywhere as a threat to justice everywhere--first we have to imagine a new landscape."

--Steve Cobble

REVIEWS:

"Good set." -- Joe Queer

The long awaited disappointment from the Capitalist Kids is finally here! The brand new album, "Current Events", featuring 14 songs in the key of awesome! This album is both sword and shield against the evil capitalist forces of oppression! And it's only $2! You owe it to yourself to come to the show and buy one! So get with the countdown, shake this square world and blast off for Kicksville with the Capitalist Kids' "Current Events"!
