RX Bandits

A California band that could be described as progressive ska, or post-hardcore ska. They are a heavily reggae-influenced band with some hardcore-ish use of chords and delicate, forceful riffs. Their lyrics range from political and social issues to emotional and relational issues.
They started out sounding alot like Sublime, Reel Big Fish, or No Doubt, but have expanded their sound to a truly psychedelic blend of stirred awesome, listing influences like Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Miles Davis, Bad Brains and Fugazi.
They rock, they jam, they think, they sing, they can PLAY.
Matthew Embree – vocals, guitar
Steve Choi – guitar, keyboards
Steven Jess Borth II. – saxophone, keyboards, backing vocals
Chris Sheets – trombone, backing vocals
Joseph Troy – bass
Christopher Tsagakis – drums
The RX Bandits are a very good band. They are so thoughtful and musically sophisticated, yet also pleasant to listen to, and good to rock out to.

RX Bandits

A band that is pretty good. But they're defitintely not punk coz if you look at the lyrics to some of their songs, they're expressin themselves, so they're what you call emo. And nothing's wrong with Emo.
Person: Who the hell is RX Bandits?
Person 2: They're an emo band, idiot!

The grindset is a contemporary ideology of self-exploitation disguised as strength, deeply tied to the aesthetics of the “sigma male” and to new digital forms of patriarchy. It promotes the idea that human worth depends on productivity, economic success, absolute emotional control, and the ability to work endlessly, turning vulnerability, rest, community, and tenderness into signs of weakness. Beneath its rhetoric of discipline and power often lies a profound inability to relate healthily to pain, fragility, and human interdependence.
“That’s the grindset, brother. While weak men sleep and complain, sigma males stay disciplined, work in silence, suppress emotions, and build power while everyone else wastes time chasing comfort.”
