Kerrang! staff

As we welcome PRESIDENT to the cover of Kerrang! this week, the mysterious group have curated a 12-song playlist of classic mid-20th century tracks, which they say highlights a time when music was a force a change.

"Citizens – the campaign trail is paved with echoes," reads their communiqué. "These songs were forged in a time of upheaval, when guitars were weapons and voices carried further than headlines. The era may have shifted, but the urgency remains. Every track here is a reminder of what was built in the shadows of that age – fury, defiance, and the will to endure.

"This is not nostalgia. It is evidence."

Listen to the playlist below on Apple Music. Then pick up PRESIDENT's debut EP on exclusive white vinyl, alongside a world-exclusive art print and limited-edition zine.
