How You Gon’ Wait? (December 2013)Back to the Top

Album art for the new Agents of Change album "How You Gon' Wait?".

HYGW includes seven tracks from the infamous Chicago based AOC collective. It’s a mash up of social justice psych, radical boom-bap funk, magical slow jams, and reggae punk anthems for the people! For this album, AOC collaborated with the OhNo!Doom collective (also based out of Chicago) for the album artwork, and the result was insane.

Track Listing
1. Destroy
2. Robin Hood x John Brown
3. Hideous
4. Agency
5. The Next Catastrophe (How You Gon’ Wait?)
6. Silent Spring
7. Life’ Short (Too Damn Ska/Dub Soundsystem Bootleg)

Chicago Got Me Sweatin’ (August 2012)Back to the Top

Four tracks of hip-hop, reggae, punk, dance, ska, and more. As usual, the lyrics are politically charged: poverty, gentrification, racism, among others topics, are important themes in these songs. With the large increase in homicides in Chicago this year, almost exclusively in poverty stricken neighborhoods, along with record high temperatures this year, we felt it was an appropriate title for this EP.

Track Listing
1. Chicago Got Me Sweatin’
2. Decolonize Now!
3. Inertia
4. Peace & Rest

Peace in the Mideast, Rest in the Midwest Cover

Released in June 2007 on our East Coast tour with Trike, this CD marks a transitional period of AOC history. We had been playing as a band for about 9-10 months, and there were all these songs made during the more traditional “hip-hop” days of AOC left unreleased. It is very much representative of changes that were happening musically and politically with us.

1. Odd to Me (Setting the Mood)
2. Cliche Anti-War Song
3. Klaxon Symphony Orchestra feat. Skeptik
4. Getting My Shine On
5. You Don’t Know Jack
6. Grand Escape feat. Hoop Star
7. Existential Calisthenics
8. Don’t Forget to Drink Your Kool-Aid (aka Life’s Short live at C.O.D. April ’07)
