Are we seeing an actual resurgence in protest music? If the material from the last week is any indication, the answer is “yes.”

Travis Barker of blink-182 got together with Machine Gun Kelly to record a cover of Rage Against the Machine’s “Killing in the Name” with proceeds going to Black Lives Matter.

Both Travis and MGK have participated in protests in LA.
