The War on War | feat. Rise Against, The Cranberries, Warren Zevon, NOFX + more

Episode 036: War. What is it good for? According to this episode - some pretty powerful music. Join Geoff, Russ, and Dave as they explore the darker side of conflict through an explosive mix of songs that tackle everything from military recruitment and terrorism to devastation and the manipulation of young soldiers. From The Clash's historical perspective to Warren Zevon's mercenary tales, The Cranberries' protest anthem to Rise Against's gut-wrenching veteran story, and from Primus's military satire to NOFX's irreverent take on extremism—we're covering all fronts of war through music. Plus, stick around to hear possibly the most inappropriate war story ever told to a seven-year-old.
