Rock Band Defends National Anthem Against Liberal Attacks With This Patriotic 'Star Spangled Banner' Challenge

"...lifts the American spirit and instills once again a sense of pride in our great nation."

In the past, we've brought you conservative rock bands who mesh patriotism with lyrical genius and obvious musical talent. Among those musicians and groups making a splash is Madison Rising, a band founded upon basic American values. This week, the band announced an interesting initiative to commemorate Independence Day and the upcoming general election battle --  the "One Million Star Spangled Banner Challenge."

Through the initiative, Madison Rising will offer an opportunity for Americans to rail against the negative comments that liberal commentators have uttered about the National Anthem (Current TV's Bill Press recently called it "an abomination," as you may recall).

Here's a video recap of negative comments that have been uttered of late about the famed song:

The band is hoping to get one million people to view its rock version of the "Star Spangled Banner" by November 6th (election day). Also, group members are encouraging fans to download the music file and to add it to their music collections and mp3 players.

A recent press release has more about the band's version of the song and the importance of instilling support for the patriotic hymn:

Earlier this month, Madison Rising released a distinctive and widely acclaimed rock version of the Star Spangled Banner, updated with a special addendum to reflect our nation’s struggles at the dawn of the 21st century. “We’ve re-worked the National Anthem in an absolutely unique way, but staying as true and respectful to the original version as possible,” said lead singer Dave Bray, a Navy veteran. “It updates and re-energizes one of the best-known songs in American history in way that lifts the American spirit and instills once again a sense of pride in our great nation.”

The music video has already received thousands of rave reviews with virtually everyone who watches it calling it among the best renditions ever. The song itself is available on iTunes, Amazon and numerous other outlets. This year marks the 200th anniversary of the War of 1812 during which Francis Scott Key originally penned the Star Spangled Banner.
