WATCH: The Armed open a Bernie Sander's rally at a Warren, MI High School

Detroit-based metalcore/alternative rock collective The Armed kicked off a speaking engagement for Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders on March 8th at Lincoln High School in Warren, MI. Sanders, now 83, is currently holding a series of rallies warning against what he describes as the oligarchic shift under the Trump administration.

The Armed's inclusion as an opener added an unexpected but fitting energy to the event, which reportedly drew thousands of attendees.
