Hardcore act The Armed is set to open a speaking engagement by US Senator Bernie Sanders on Saturday (March 8th) in Warren, Michigan.
The unconventional booking is being billed as “Fighting Oligarchy: Where We Go From Here with Bernie Sanders in Warren.” The Armed announced the performance via social media, sharing a vintage punk-style poster featuring the Vermont senator, which can be seen below. Those looking to attend can RSVP via Sanders’ website.
Sanders, 83, is in the midst of a spoken-word tour in an effort to “take on the oligarchy” following the re-election of Donald Trump.
“I think it is an appropriate time to ask the question that the media and most politicians don’t seem to be asking: What do he and other multi-billionaires really want? What is their end game?” Sanders in a video announcement for the tour [via Newsweek]. “Whatever we can do is what we must do. Needless to say, I intend to do my part, both inside the Beltway and traveling throughout the country to stand up for working families and to take on the oligarchy.”
As for The Armed, the Detroit collective released Perfect Saviors in 2023, an album that saw the group embracing a more post-hardcore/noise rock sound. They also unveiled the EP Everlasting Gaze this past October.
