"(America's) political system is not a system set up for success at this point. We spend more money on elections, news (and) media coverage than we do on things like welfare programs or social systems programs," Sweet said. "We're the only westernized nation without socialized health care or any sort of free global universal health care."
Aside from the weighty lyrical subject matter, each member of Glass Fence draws from eclectic rock influences such as Paul McCartney and Nirvana.
Glass Fence's latest LP, "New Order of the Ages," couples the group's unique rock style with politically charged lyrics and three-part vocal harmonies.
"We all contribute vocals, both live and on CD, which makes our sound more rich by using three different voices," Brown said.
"We wanted to make something sort of up-tempo and hopefully catchy," Sweet said. "There's nothing on the record that we don't do live, as far as harmonies and performance."
Following this stripped-down recording approach, Glass Fence promises to deliver a raw, high-energy live performance.
"Our goal is to go up there and make it seem like we're having more fun than you," Rodriguez said. "And as far as shows are concerned, we usually get the crowd going even if they're not there to see us."

Well said Shane. Hopefully health care will take a turn for the better but more than likely wishful thinking. Time to move I suppose.
