Band: THE MINIMUM WAGE
Who: Niagara outfit who create an untamed brand of indie-punk rock
and roll inspired by a wide range of musical influences and tastes.
New track: THE MINIMUM WAGE
“The Minimum Wage” highlights the struggles of the working class living paycheck to paycheck, dealing with physical and financial exhaustion. It contrasts their hardships with the wealth and privilege of politicians and the affluent, questioning claims of a strong economy that seem to benefit only the rich. The song underscores the tough choices faced by minimum wage earners and critiques the hypocrisy of the elite.”
TUTV: The gap between the poor and the rich has existed since greedy politicians and ruthless tycoons took control of the world, ages ago. It always has been about the survival of the richest, the people who can’t follow for whatever reason need to stay behind and live in misery.
Canadian misfits The Minimum Wage are not the first musicians, and definitely not
the last to protest, rightly so, against the ever-widening gap. They do it with a red-hot-blooded uppercut that strikes forth and back, left and right, propelled by furious guitars and a drummer who hits with his sticks as if he wants to beat the shit out of all the greedy sharks.
And when the vociferous chorus detonates, it’s time to stand up,
raise the middle finger and rage against the capitalist machine.
This is a wage-up call!
