Blocking Consensus
 

You think you're open-minded
there's something out there but you cannot find it
you've got to let others stick their views in.
Just because they're different from you
doesn't mean respect isn't due to them too
You've got to listen even if you disagree
and just because you've always been in the minority
doesn't give you the authority
to suppress them just because they're the new minority
 
close close, you think you're open-minded
oh close close, you'd better think again
I said close close, you think you're open-minded
oh close close, you're just as bad as them
 
(repeat all)

Blocking Consensus came together in 1998 at Haverford College in Philadelphia. The eight-member group chose their name while debating the merits of the Quaker-based value system integral to their college. Their influences include an eclectic mix of traditional and third wave ska, hard rock, punk, and heavy metal. This mix has developed into a socially conscious party music heard often on area campuses. Members include Brady McCartney on vocals; Sam Edmondson and Jesse Milnes on guitar; Ry Strohm-Herman on bass guitar; Jared Tankel and Danny Zeiger on alto saxophone; Eric Samansky on trumpet; and Elliot Brandow on drums.
