For the first time in generations, the New York State presidential primary actually matters this year. With a close race on the Democratic side, and an active Anyone-But-Trump movement for the Republicans, New Yorker's votes count today.
The polls will close at 9:00pm tonight, and we're sure the lines will force at least a few of us to wait longer than we'd like to. But that's democracy, baby. And what genre of music is better for celebrating democracy and waiting in line than punk rock? If you guessed "none", then you're correct, there is no better music. So we've assembled a short list of classy punk tunes for the occasion.
For some idealists, election day is cathartic embodiment of grassroots power. For others it's just another day. For voters who are undecided as to who they'll vote for yet, perhaps it's a stressful day. We've got you covered all around.
Some of these tunes are timely for any election cycle, and others are perfect specifically for this year's matchups, like "God Save the Queen" and "Nice Guys Finish Last". We won't specify, but you can guess who those ones are for. So first, Stop and take some time to think. Then Rise Above for the Big Take Over on Election Day New York, it's Your Generation!
