Godspeed You! Black Emperor: Difference between revisions

Line 14:

Their best-known songs are probably “The Dead Flag Blues,” “East Hastings,” “Storm,” and “09-15-00” due to their use in films and television ("East Hastings" was notably used in ''[[28 Days Later]]'').

It's also worth noting that their music contains a strong political component. They have been repeatedly described in the media as [[~~Useful Notes/~~Political Ideologies|anarchists]], although apparently no one in the group has explicitly subscribed to this label. However, their music definitely articulates a strong anti-authoritarian and anti-capitalist stance, which is even more explicit in sister band A Silver Mt. Zion (which contains several of the same members). That said, Efrim Menuck has said the band don't consciously try to be political, but simply write songs about the sort of things they talk about with their friends.
