Justin Sane Quotations

Everything comes down to Dollars

From a very young age, militarism and trying to solve the world's problems through militarism is something that has always resonated with me as being a bad idea.

There are ways that we can manipulate the corporate media to talk about the issues that we care about.

The best way to avoid warfare is if no one shows up.

We are simply human beings. So it is important for us to treat each other in that capacity.

My parents demonstrated against the Vietnam war, they were into the civil rights movement, the feminist movement, they started the first vegetarian restaurant in Pittsburgh.

Punk is just like any other sub culture or music. Straight rock music has those elements. I grew up in a place where the punk rock kids fed the homeless in the town square.

The reality is that a consumer culture which chucks out its iPhones for a new version every nine months is completely unsustainable, because Earth has already reached the tipping point. 'The General Strike' attempts to personalize these issues and encourage listeners to look for a new model.

Punk rock seemed to make sense. I was listening to The Clash and I really loved their social messages and they have a great history of fighting racism.

That's exactly how we wanted it to be. And I think they knew what they were signing. At this point, I'm convinced that they didn't sign us to try to mold us into something we're not. They knew they were signing a political punk band that had things they wanted to say.
