Sometimes referred to as "the jazz version of Rage Against the Machine," Junkyard Empire is not just a band, they are a social and political platform, focused upon bringing people together to take back the country from the criminal corporations. They strive to be much more than another great alternative live hip-hop band from Minnesota. They want to become a musical force for grassroots political and social change in America, playing the music that they hear as the soundtrack to a long overdue global social and political revolution, against the neoconservative capitalist cabal. They believe music is not, nor should it be treated as though it is nothing more than the proverbial "widget" to be sold to the highest bidder. Adherence to the inherently inhuman conditions of so-called "free market" capitalism is - by design - working against the progression of music in society. NOTE TO AGENTS: If you don't want the audience to hear the truth about the government and the fascist economic system in which it operates, don't book Junkyard Empire.
