Ku Klux Klan by Steel Pulse

Key: Am · 129 BPM · 4/4

Ku Klux Klan by Steel Pulse sits in Am, giving it a darker, more unresolved color than a major-key song would have. Rather than one of the handful of progressions that show up again and again across pop and rock, it settles into its own 2-chord loop — Am-Em — repeating with its own internal logic instead of borrowing a familiar shape. At 129 BPM, it moves at a moderate, driving pace.
