It has really distracted people from what they've done and pulled off. They have put action into their activism, more than just yelling and screaming about how much they hate politics like other bands.
If I was going down the wrong route, I would of said something like Rage Against The Machine.
Hmm... But I guess this just about music and politics... Rather than political activism? Oh well... SOAD is still an example, among the other bands that have been listed here already.

I like SOAD as well as Rage, and I didn't say not to pick them because of their fandom, but rather, because of the vagueness. The bands I listed are often more specific with the issues they address, citing specific elections, events, and incidents within their lyrics. Most songs by SOAD and Rage simply posit broad views without actually discussing any particular instance of an issue.
