Merge Left came by on a Saturday morning to talk about their new CD Divided Nation. It didn’t work out for them to perform live for the podcast, so we sampled a few tracks from the CD instead.

This is my way to get this message across. This is how I tell my friends how I feel. And this is the way we let the kids know what’s going on because I just feel like everybody’s not paying attention–I mean there are a lot of people who care. My goal is to just–if I can get one person in the crowd to change the way they think and start thinking for themselves and realize that they’ve been led astray maybe by a government–and that’s their choice to make. But if I can make one person open their eyes to what I feel then I feel like our goal is accomplished.

–Daniel from Merge Left talking about the band’s political message.
