The Insurgents are a pro-peace, anti-racist, anti-sexist, anti-homophobic, anti-war, old-style punk / surf punk / ska punk. Well, actually, "punk" is a vague term and we live in a world where terminology and classification ruin everything left, killing originality and embracing mediocrity. We play music and say some things, we're not telling anybody how we think they should be because we know we're no more or less to them, and everyone's beliefs are equally valid. We just offer some ideas and thoughts with an obscure and oft unheard perspective which a vast majority of people tend to look away from.
