“Who's Gonna Save Us?” by The Living End

"Who's Gonna Save Us?" kicked off the Living End's third album, MODERN ARTillery: leaving aside the re-recorded "One Said to the Other", it was the record's first single, landing in Australia on 29 September 2003 and in America the following March. Chris Cheney wrote words and music alone, and the Australian punk band tear into it with politics on their mind.

Mark Trombino produced, recorded and mixed it, and he keeps everything lean and flat-out; Billboard's Keith Caulfield heard a rowdy, political tune with sharp, full-speed production. It reached 37 on the ARIA singles chart and 26 on Billboard's Hot Modern Rock Tracks, then found a much bigger audience when it turned up in the television commercial and on the soundtrack for Michael Moore's 2004 documentary Fahrenheit 9/11.
