I’m not sure what you’re saying about Peter Bruntnell but I’ve got most of his cds and I’ve seen him live in small venues twice

 

I think he is a great undiscovered talent 

 

regarding Steve Earle as with everything for me it’s the music that counts and I like his music - it doesn’t matter to me whether “he’s turned into an opinionated bore”

 

as long as “opinionated bore”s are talented, write and sing songs that I like that’s all that matters and I’m more than happy to listen to them and buy their music

Bruntnell is hardly undiscovered. He’s just not on many peoples radar. I wasn’t judging his music just his unfortunate choice of clothes at that event. 
Much of Steve Earles music is very good, and as I said I’ve covered many of his songs live over the years. But his shows here in the UK descended into lengthy between songs diatribes on American politics. Still a fan of the music, but I wouldn’t pay money to see him again.

Yes I agree that’s a pain - if only musicians and actors would keep to what they do best

What if they're better at political rants than making music? Also, what if some artists use music primarily as a way for getting messages across to the unwashed masses rather than standing on a box at Speakers Corner or whatever equivalent they have in the US?

Bought a couple of bits on Bandcamp today:

 

Dreamwell - Modern Grotesque

https://dreamwell.bandcamp.com/album/modern-grotesque

Post hardcore, basically the band I had on my head to start - think a mathier/heavier Touché Amoré

 

Chamber - Cost Of Sacrifice

https://chambertn.bandcamp.com/album/cost-of-sacrifice

Dissonant math/metal-core, I saw one of Hate5six's live videos and loved it

 

Kowloon Walled City - Container Ships

https://kowloonwalledcity.bandcamp.com/album/container-ships

Kinda doomy post-metal, the first ISIS record is the closest touch point I can hear, some lovely Alembic bass tone too.
