Cornel West Theory

Back when Sockets started in 2004, one of my favorite bands in DC was the Cornel West Theory. So when I heard they are finishing up their first proper full-length, Second Rome, I got really excited. The band is a unique live experience with a message that challenges conventional political sensibility. With the blessing of Dr. Cornel West, the Princeton University professor and renowned author, the band takes its inspiration from the nation’s capital’s rich musical history and the struggles of poor people worldwide.

Check out the band's performance of "Prophetic Suicide" at the Rock'n'Roll Hotel:
