Voice of Addiction

(www.voiceofaddiction.com) One of the finest live punk acts in town, this political band balances some of the best (and occasionally some of the worst) aspects of rock, emo, ska, metal, and even Billy Bragg righteousness. If you go to shows in Chicago you can't not have seen this band, and that work ethic makes them one of the most Chicago-ish of Chicago punk bands this side of Dead Steel Mill. I'm not expecting a revolution anytime soon, but it's nice to hear someone at least wants one.
