BackWordz is a band that unapologetically stands at the intersection of metalcore and libertarian message, blending aggressive riffs with socio-political commentary. Formed in Dallas, Texas by vocalist Eric July and guitarist Alex James in 2014, the band quickly distinguished itself not just through their music, but also through their outspoken advocacy of free market principles and individual liberty. Their lyrics challenge societal norms and state power, often sparking intense discussion about the role of government and personal freedom.

Their most well-known work to date, the album "Veracity," released in 2017, made waves in both the music and political spheres. The single “Statism” features guest vocals by Craig Mabbitt of Escape the Fate and throws a critical light on government overreach, encapsulating the band's knack for merging potent lyrical content with compelling metal soundscapes. Despite tackling heavy and contentious themes, tracks like “Self Ownership” and “Utopias Don’t Exist” have resonated with fans who are drawn to both the heavy music and the message of self-reliance and skepticism of authority. BackWordz’s bold approach ensures they are more than just a band—they are a musical revolt against the status quo.
