Degenerates' latest album, Truth Justice American Way, is a powerful and politically charged collection of songs that tackle issues ranging from police brutality to immigration. The band's signature punk rock sound is infused with a sense of urgency and anger, making for an intense listening experience.
The album's opening track, "Freedom Fights," sets the tone with its driving beat and aggressive vocals. From there, the band takes on topics like the opioid epidemic ("Pill Nation"), income inequality ("Rich Man's World"), and the state of democracy in America ("Ballot Box").
Despite the serious subject matter, Truth Justice American Way is not without its moments of levity. "Party Like It's 1984" is a fun, danceable track that takes a satirical look at the current political climate, while "Rock 'n' Roll Refugee" is a catchy anthem about the power of music to unite people of all backgrounds.
