London After Midnight (sometimes abbreviated as LAM) is a project formed in the 1990s〔(Yahoo - Date Formed )〕 by songwriter and instrumentalist Sean Brennan. It is active to the present day. The project is considered by many as a prominent act of the second generation gothic rock movement,〔(Dark Zone magazine - (Poland, Summer 1998) )〕 some critics have credited the band with reviving the gothic music scene in the early 1990s.〔Dark Asylum magazine, issue 1, USA, 1995, page 16〕 London After Midnight has a following worldwide, with a large fanbase in the goth subculture. However, in interviews Sean Brennan has shunned the use of this label and others to describe his music, calling it "artistically limiting".〔(Gothic Beauty Magazine - (USA, Autumn 2005) )〕 ==Ideology and themes== Brennan is known for his support of animal rights, pro-environmental and human rights issues, anti-corporate control of media, and progressive and liberal politics. He voices this support through London After Midnight Internet outlets, such as their official website and music. Some people think some of the music released by London After Midnight follows personal and emotional themes which are often romantic. However, this is often a misconception — may of these songs reference a subject that is anything but romantic. Since the 1990s, London After Midnight has had a political focus, while early albums show hints of political leanings; for example, the 1991 track "Revenge" featured political elements, along with an Adolf Hitler introduction sound clip. (Politically, the track was not geared toward or sympathetic of Nazism.) Recent London After Midnight material (such asnew CD release "Violent Acts of Beauty"), which has been performed in concert, is highly political with songs like "Feeling Fascist?," "The Pain Looks Good on You," "America's a Fucking Disease," and others. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「London After Midnight (band)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
