We couldn't possibly put together a complete list of bands who are against Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, since most—if not all—of our scene seems to be against him. Still, our favorite musicians have made some pretty great statements opposing his bid for the White House. Here are just a few highlights from the scene's anti-Trump movement:

Tom Morello, Rage Against The Machine
Morello is pretty intensely against the candidate, and will respond with political facts toward people who want to learn more. Plus, this year he put together Prophets Of Rage, which could be called an anti-GOP band in its origin.

 

Chuck Comeau, Simple Plan
Comeau provided some commentary on one of the presidential debates in a concise tweet:

 

The White Stripes
So, one positive side to Donald Trump running for president is that it got the White Stripes back together. Not to make new music, but to make fun of the guy. (We’ll take what we can get.)

 

Nick Ghanbarian, Bayside
Nick delivered a pretty great burn on Trump’s interesting Twitter game.

 

AJ Rebollo, Issues
Not everyone who is against Trump is a Hillary Clinton supporter. AJ Rebollo is one such example: He’s not a fan of either candidate. But especially not a fan of Trump.

 

Jake Marquis, Sleep On It
Now this is just threatening.

 

Stephen Gomez, The Summer Set
The Summer Set have started to ask fans to not vote for Trump at shows. That’s a pretty good strategy. And Stephen is about as against Trump as you can get.

 

Ben Langford-Biss, As It Is
Too many Trump signs is too much for Ben.

 

Alex Gaskarth, All Time Low
He certainly speaks his mind.

Tom DeLonge
When it comes to issues, plenty of people have plenty of reasons to see problems with Trump. For Tom, it’s how the candidate deals with women’s rights.

 

SWMRS
There’s no questioning where SWMRS stand when it comes to Trump.

 

Telle Smith, The Word Alive
Trump’s rude statements have offended Telle.

 

Lynn Gunn, PVRIS
Calling someone an “orange faced gremlin” says all you need to say. Lynn’s not a fan.

 

Into It. Over It.
The real question at hand has to do with Halloween. And not supporting Trump.

 

Max Bemis, Say Anything
Max has the ultimate burn. (He’s got plenty of gems in his Twitter account.)

 

Death Cab For Cutie
Death Cab wrote an anti-Trump song as part of the “30 Days, 30 Songs” project against the candidate.

 

Billie Joe Armstrong, Green Day
Armstrong notes that there has been a certain level of comedy to some of Trump’s stunts.

 

Corey Taylor, Slipknot
Holy moly, does Corey hate Trump. No one is as vocal as he is on social media in showing his ultimate disgust with the candidate. He even changed his Twitter name to “#FuckTrump’16” during part of the race.
