It is a robust libertarian brand of politics. See the complete Troy Rising series book list in order, box sets or omnibus editions, and companion titles. In Troy Rising: Live Free or Die, Ringo (and his Mary Sue protagonist, named Tyler Vernon) wear their politics on their sleeves. But while there are some keepers - their infamously filthy unreleased song Rainbows, a cover of I Wanna Be A Hulkamaniac and a version of The Grateful Dead’s Friend Of The Devil that includes the skips on the original record - too many repeated tracks (does anybody need three versions of Steak For Chicken?) make this seem like too much of a good thing. The Troy Rising book series by John Ringo includes books Live Free or Die, Citadel: Troy Rising, Book Two, and The Hot Gate. This two-CD set consists mostly of live cuts and leftovers from their supremely silly 2001 debut album. I sure can’t think of a better way to describe their twisted collision of acoustic guitars, campfire melodies and dumbass teenage lyrics. MUSICAL GENRE: Anti-folk is what Green and Dawson call their sound. HOME BASE: Under the covers in their bedrooms in Lower Manhattan, eating s’mores and making prank phone calls. M EMBERS: Singer-guitarists Adam Green and Kimya Dawson, accompanied live by a revolving roster of rhythm sections.
