Dead Pioneers - Po$t American (2025)

Image
Dead Pioneers' sophomore album, PO$T AMERICAN , delivers a scathing critique of systemic oppression through a fusion of hardcore punk and spoken word. Frontman Gregg Deal, a Native American visual and performance artist, channels his activism into tracks that confront colonialism, capitalism, and white supremacy. Songs like "Mythical Cowboys" and "The Caucasity" dismantle romanticized narratives of American history, while "A.I.M." pays homage to the American Indian Movement. The album's raw energy and incisive lyrics have drawn comparisons to acts like Rage Against the Machine and Public Enemy, positioning Dead Pioneers as a formidable voice in contemporary protest music. PO$T AMERICAN stands as a powerful testament to resistance and the enduring fight for justice.
