Chicago, IL
Bio
Founded in 2017, Blind Adam and The Federal League has become Chicago’s Premier Anti-Fascist Rock and Roll experience. FEST 23 will be the 2nd anniversary of The Fields We Know – an 8-song anarchist/anti-fascist/anti-capitalist thesis produced by Pete Steinkopf of The Bouncing Souls. The Fields We Know isn’t just an “Anti-Trump” or “Anti-MAGA” record, instead it calls into question the entire imperial project of the USA, both calling out the glaring flaws and contradictions of the capitalist system as well as highlighting examples of mutual aid and community defense and a vision for a world based on community and cooperation, built on and maintained by those exact mutual aid and community defense principals. The album ends with “Cold Dead Hands” a song based on the true story of the good people of THE FEST running the violent fascist goons the proud boys out of the festival. Times are rough, y’all let’s sing some songs about it and then talk about how we’re going to take care of one another and build a better world together! Solidarity Forever!
