Listen! Question! Act! Love! Rock!
Controlled Breeding In Sheep fuse confrontation with consciousness — a volatile blend often described as Rage Against The Machine meets Pink Floyd under a truth-serum mindwarp. Led by musical shepherd dexter winklemeyer, the band channels fierce political critique, melodic hooks, and psychedelic edge into songs that challenge systems while calling for human dignity.
Drawing inspiration from Roger Waters, John Lennon, Ween, and Midnight Oil, C.B.I.S. crafts protest music that refuses to whisper. Their sound balances chant-ready choruses with sharp lyrical precision, urging listeners not just to react — but to reflect.
Their latest single, “FUCK ICE”, is a raw, 1:45 hard-hitting protest anthem aimed at institutional cruelty, systemic corruption, and rising authoritarianism. Built around explosive hooks and uncompromising lyrics, the track is less a rant and more a rallying cry — rooted in one central truth:
“Love is what we choose.”
The song stands in their lineage of modern protest music. In early 2003, disturbed by the looming invasion of Iraq, dexter swiftly wrote and recorded the pro-peace rocker “No More Blood.” The track caught the attention of political thinker Noam Chomsky, who contributed words that deepened its resonance. “No More Blood” went on to echo through peace rallies across North America — and, tragically, remains relevant today.
That same urgency fuels “FUCK ICE.”
Beyond their protest-driven singles, the band has also released a hypnotic reimagining of “Eleanor Rigby,” imagining a sonic collision between The Beatles’ melodic storytelling and Pink Floyd’s atmospheric depth.
C.B.I.S.’s album Oh Dear showcases the band’s dynamic range. From the activist empowerment anthem “We’re Strong,” to the storm-the-palace rocker “Give Us The Truth,” to the searing anti-war track “It’s Insane,” the record blends political fire with introspective depth. The Brit-psychedelic lullaby title track “Oh Dear” and the haunting acoustic “Too Much To Say” reveal a more vulnerable dimension, while the Siamese singles “Live Your Life” critique modern work and social media obsession. Together with eleven additional tracks, the album cements C.B.I.S. as more than a protest band — they are a question mark aimed at the status quo.
Controlled Breeding In Sheep don’t just shout.
They challenge.
They provoke.
They invite action.
