Clawfinger and Rise Against rock!!

Hey everyone. Now I know that while I have been talking a lot about power metal lately (and I am planning to talk about it a lot more) there are some bands that don't fall in that genre that I really love and they are both in the hardcore punk category(well rise against is melodic hardcore but it's still close) and they are Rise Against and Clawfinger.

Now while I didn't realise this when I first started listening to them they are both political bands(Clawfinger is also anti-racism which is awesome) that are about being positive (I have a theory about why people like certain types of music but I will leave that for another post) and I really love their music and have loved it for years (I was listening to them before I started listening to power metal)

Now Clawfinger lyrics are very intelligent (generally speaking ) and they tend to talk about some pretty useful things like their song called "Confrontation" which is not only really cool but talks about idiots who handle anger in the wrong way and why it's wrong anyways here is one my favourite songs called Out to get me from Clawfinger which is so awesome:

Now we come to a band who I listen to even more. I have tons of their tracks and their music has inspired me more than any other band and that is Rise Against. Their music is powerful and positive. The vocals melodic are awesome to listen to. Their vocals are a lot cleaner (which is why their melodic hardcore) and they are the band that started me on the positive metal track and revolutionised my life. I owe their music a lot. Anyways here is there song The Long Forgotten Sons:
