RedSmed?

A few months back I learned of the existance of a song by a band called "RedSmed", the title of the song is "Leon Trotsky", the lyrics are catchy and cute, and generally marxist. This is the only song by them I have ever heard because i can't find anything else! As anyone else ever heard of them? Or know of any other songs by them?
I am going to add on the lyrics as an appendix...
(guitar and ... drums?)
Well he was born in Russia, 1879 His real name is Lev Davidovich Bronstein He helped to organize the Russian Revolution Then he got kill by Stalin ... Talkin' 'bout Leon Trotsky.
(chorus)
Leon Trotsky! Leon Trotsky!
Leon Trotsky a man with a beard and glasses. Well he had a theory about Permenent Revolution He had a theory about the Stalin Solution. He had a theory about the United Front. He never stopped theorizing 'til they hit him with an icepick.
(chorus)
Leon Trotsky! Leon Trotsky!
Leon Trotsky never appeared in Zetka's(?)
Well if you ever think of overthrowing the state, just remember Leon Trotsky's fate Don't put your faith in State Capitalism! Stick with the Left Opposition just like Leon Trotsky!
Leon Trotsky! Leon Trotsky! Leon Trotsky! etc...
Ok, so, generally I think it is a pretty cool song, although at times he sounds sort of pessimistic, i don't think the song is meant to be taken to seriously. I DO like A LOT the line
"Don't put your faith in State Capitalism! Stick with the Left Opposition just like Leon Trotsky!"
the writer of the song obviously knew a thing or two about Trotskyism.
