The (I)NC needs more love, especially for their fine bass player, Inge Johansson. For those who aren't familiar with them, they describe their sound as The Hives with added politics. They're fronted by the same man who was the force behind the seminal punk band Refused.
Sure, they push autonomous Marxism as the only satisfying way of life, but man, are those tunes catchy!
Here's "Capitalism Stole My Virginity"!

Hey, so what if all their music reflects a Situationist agenda? Listen to that 60s pop groove they use to disguise their propaganda!
Here's "Smash It Up"!

Who cares if they're way left-field Communists? They've got a way hot organist in the last vid who has what I think is the best keys tone in all of rock!
Here's "Black Mask", performed live!

Ok, they get a little overboard with the message in "Communist Moon". Its still painfully catchy.

Did The (International) Noise Conspiracy turn me into a Pinko? No, but I sure do enjoy their music!
Is anybody else down with The (I)NC and Inge's amazing melodic playing?
