Taft Punk was a groundbreaking supergroup formed by former American presidents and progressive rock music pioneers William Howard Taft and Theodore "The Tedster" Roosevelt. The group produced only one album, Industry, under the official record label of the Republican Party. However, Industry was so successful that it sold over six million albums, is considered one of the most influential albums by any music group to date, and inspired a two hundred page rant on the economic and social fallacies of rocking out too hard, by Upton Sinclair.
