Rock Against Bush is a project mobilizing punk rock musicians against the 2004 U.S. Presidential campaign of George W. Bush. It was inspired by the idea of creating a vibe of anti-war and pro-peace sentiment, similar to the Woodstock festival of 1969.
The effort was initiated by Fat Mike (Michael Burkett) of the band NOFX. It has included live concerts, a series of compilation albums, and a "punkvoter" website. Its goal is to encourage people, especially punk fans, to register to vote and to oppose Bush. The album proceeds were used to support a 2004 concert tour and an associated voter registration drive, emphasizing the swing states.
Albums
The albums have been issued by the Fat Wreck Chords label, which focuses on punk artists, so most of the songs are by punk bands. In addition to NOFX, performers include Rise Against, Pennywise, and Anti-Flag.
