If you like political punk but you hate hearing teenage punk bands whine about OPEC when they probably don’t know what the acronym stands for, you need to get into Vortis. This band, like Crass and Dead Kennedys before them, is the real deal. The singer is a 60-something professor of political studies, and he’s got the brains to back up his balls. His targets this time are obviously the Bush Administration and their war on terrorism, but there are also some light-hearted tunes, like ditties against the obnoxiousness of cell phones and the new sterility of Las Vegas. The music’s not that great, but hey, the dude’s 60.
