Thievery Corporation

New Music: Thievery Corporation is a fantastic Washington D.C.-based band that plays a powerful mix of conscious reggae, Afro-pop, and electronica music filled with revolutionary, dissident lyrics. Great stuff.

"Radio Retaliation is definitely a more overt political statement," says Rob Garza of Thievery Corporation. "There’s no excuse for not speaking out at this point, with the suspension of habeas corpus, outsourced torture, illegal wars of aggression, fuel, food, and economic crises. It’s hard to close your eyes and sleep while the world is burning around you. If you are an artist, this is the most essential time to speak up.” So that’s exactly what they do with their new album.
