Political action by musicians need not of course be limited to the content of their lyrics nor to issues external to themselves. Here is one example of a project run by the Future of Music Coallition where a concert has been organised to highlight the importance of network neutrality for musicians.
The 'Rock the Net' campaign was initially supported by artists such as: R.E.M. • Pearl Jam • Ted Leo • Boots Riley • Death Cab for Cutie • OK Go • Bob Mould • Calexico • Kathleen Hanna • The Donnas • Jerry Harrison • John Doe • Les Claypool • Kronos Quartet • Jimmy Tamborello • Street to Nowhere • The Locust • Rogue Wave • Guster • State Radio • Matt Wertz • Griffin House • Matt Nathanson • The Wrens; it now has over 750 bands and 155 independent labels contributing to the project.
The Future of Music Coallition have this fact sheet on why network neutrality is fundamental to musicians.
