BackWordz- Utopias Don't Exist (Official Lyric Video)

[@bryceballinger5497]

Holy shit...I don't think I've witnessed a band bringing up these subjects as clearly and to-the-point as much as you guys have. I'm certainly impressed and grateful for your mindfulness. KEEP THIS SHIT UP!

[@mah4565ify]

yea. Eric has always done very well expressing his views in a clear, to-the-point way. its hard not to be a fan

[@tomikaze777]

2020 needs this message more now than ever. Where is personal responsibility and clear thinking? We all need to stop listening to the media and politicians.

[@deus_radneck]

"Nobody's obligated to accept your lifestyle." That gave me chills for some reason. I love the truth y'all have in your songs. *fist bump*

[@cermit2376]

Justin Borthick It might just be because I've been exposed to many blunt points of view but that statement doesn't really stand out to me. In fact, it seems rather obvious no one is obligated to accept another's lifestyle. To me at least, not the left.

[@dantelan-i-er5466]

@@cermit2376 It's super relevant today. Especially with all this lgbt acceptance being rammed down people's throats. The sad thing is that a lot of people need to be told that because they think people are obligated to accept their lifestyle.

[@darrenthetuber743]

@@cermit2376 I don't know what he means by accepting a "lifestyle". Well it exsists, and a person has a right to exist, it shouldn't have to be enforced, it should be within our own means to accept to it, we don't have to like it, but we have coexist with it

[@thoughtpolease7183]

@@darrenthetuber743 agree, I kinda feel like it needs an explanation. Is he saying that people are in their right to try and stop other people from being gay? That is definitely one way to read it, but I don't think that is the point. But... Then what IS the point?

[@supernintenjoe8911]

@@thoughtpolease7183 No, it means people have the right to disagree with a lifestyle (or have a different opinion). As long as they don't physically enforce their opinion, it's perfectly fine to have an opposing opinion.

[@hawthorne009]

A voluntaryist rap/metal band? FUCK YES!

[@rickeyryan303]

NU-metal

[@Blaqsailens]

They're closer to Hardcore/Rapcore than Nu-metal in my opinion.

[@justincho7017]

Flint Cole Agreed. They lean more towards the similar style and sound to that of Dangerkids while also going with the anti-elitist lyrical subjects of Hacktivist.

[@thenew4559]

Agreed.

[@collinklein2230]

Everybody in the US needs to hear this song right now!!!

[@NiohArcadia]

@KarlsenKoi "now"

[@OfficialJabberwocky]

FINALLY. A band that takes on weighty social problems without swinging to the extremes. Point out the problem, but don't cause a bunch of problems with your solutions. The answer is personal accountability, and accepting and allowing others to go their own way whether you understand it or agree with it or not, so long as they don't harm you from going your way.

[@EmperorNero]

+Jabberwocky Well that is what Libertarians do. We believe in personal accountability.

[@jasonbracewell2742]

Try listening to Stray From The Path

[@ReverendNillerz]

Personal accountability is pretty much one of the biggest cornerstones of libertarianism, yeah.

[@christiansmith1524]

I like SFTP as much as the next guy. But to be completely honest, they're pretty far left.

[@dylang2255]

Jabberwocky Except these guys talk about anarcho-capitalism. That is pretty extreme.

[@Reign_In_Blood_963]

Damn... This is from 2015! True banger! Eric I had no idea you were in a band until you happened to mention it the other day in one of your cannon podcasts.

[@Spartan322]

This song is the OG, holy crap.

[@denominationstation3692]

This music is actually teaching me to be more open minded about music. Never really cared for rap, but this, I like. A lot.

[@skye8490]

This song is literally underrated

[@gylandblanchard3510]

My god, this band refuses to disappoint. Every time I hear a new track since they've started, I've always thought "No way can they get better". This band is by far the best I've heard in YEARS, keep going. This I am proud to say is the first one i'm buying a album from, every track so far is amazing!

[@threeper2105]

Really love the message y'all put out! Finally a band i can listen to and actually agree with the vast majority of what they believe in and stand for!! Would y'all have anything against me using this song in one of my short films? I don't monetize any of my videos, and I would certainly give full credit.

[@BackWordzMusic]

do it up brother!

[@threeper2105]

Awesome! been lookin forward to a response, thanks a ton!

[@TheDavidCoppafeel]

+Threeper210 Awesome :)

[@thenew4559]

Great song, excellent visual effects. I've got to say, I don't really like hard rock but I quite enjoyed this. It is also refreshing to see fellow voluntaryists/ancaps taking to the arts to spread our message into the culture.

[@sdklemann9360]

Damnit, why can't 31st hurry up and get here so I can get the CD?

[@Levitasification]

Best line I've ever heard in a song...."You need to act man. Take everything you learn from this liberal media and toss it in the trash can." That's Eric July calling out to all of us, wake up people.

[@alienslovepeanuts]

Eric July is legendary...

[@kennethmoore625]

Need this album! blast it in the car, work, and home. So glad there is real music for the cause.

[@loki-of-asgard7877]

Beautifully written

[@ITBlanka]

Greetings from Brazil! I met you through political pages, not much fan of the style but I fell for your music and I support your views about statism. I agree with most of them. Statists sucks. Shout out while you guys have free speech there. We don't have here. And by the way, best lyrics I from what I heard this year, by far. I want this music as my anthem/lyrics in my gravestone. Cheers brothers!

[@Daevin666]

Honest opinion. The music is awesome, dirty and heavy riffs are always good. Not a big fan of rapping in metal but it does fit here and the guttural transition is fucking epic. The guy singing clean does kill it a bit, at least to me. I would like to hear him put a bit more anger into it. He sounds like he can do it. Lyrics are amazing by the way. Keep up the good work guys.

[@Obsence818]

I don't normally do this, but i feel like this band and this song in their way are bringing up the situations going on in america right now. AND i encourage to not listen to the music, but the words that come with it. I really do. if you listen to it, its coming out of a broad prospective not just a single opinion. Not Black, white, latinos or any other race, this is just pointing out the OBVIOUS and bringing it into music, which is something every musician needs to do. this song is too good.

[@FlippityShiv]

I take it the silhouette of a person throwing a molotov in the sparks of the video thumbnail wasnt on accident. It was fuckin with my head till I clicked it. Nice touch on a bad ass song
