Surrounded by strike-busting Salvation Army bands paid for by the bosses, the International Workers of the World nicknamed them "Starvation Army" bands and fought back with their own IWW Brass Band. Lampooning and satirizing the religious imagery and jingoism of the scabs in the Salvation Army, the IWW Brass Band's songs would set the template for using folk song as a form of protest.
