I know I’m late to this question, but if you just look up “Steve Franssen” on YouTube, his songs will come up under Steve Franssen-Topic. I listened to like ten of them, and yeah, they’re shit. Edit:

Far be it for me to question your opinion of the merit of Steve Franssen's music but it may be that I'm more merciful. I listened to excerpts from about ten of his songs and here is my assessment of them:
On the plus side:
- Assuming Franssen wrote the songs that took some skill. If he also wrote the music, extra points for that.
- If that's a live band (rather than prerecorded music) then it took some effort to put that together.
- With perhaps a voice coach (even big-time singers use them) he might have been able to strengthen and iron-out the uneven tonal qualities.
On the negative side:
- Obvious political songs like Franssen's might benefit from more subtlety.
- Could've used background singers who in turn might've strengthened his own singing.
In my view, this was his best song (of the ten or so I listened to) and it has potential to be better.
It must also be added that Steve Franssen has also written a couple of short novels and social commentary books directed toward the "coomer generation". The one below has received the highest Amazon rating for his novel, and his non-fiction
"Coom Consume Comply" got even more and better reviews. All in all, Franssen likes to write books and sing songs but in America First he has not found the best springboard for doing that. He clearly would be better off taking his own path rather than hitching his horse to Nick Fuentes's "Wagon Train To Hell".
Finally, let me present a parallel to the Rise of America First, as Nick Fuentes's youthful insurgency strongly reminds me of a politics-based, dystopian movie made back in 1968 called,
"Wild In The Streets". The substance might not be exactly the same but the essence is, at least in many ways. Here's the theme song from the movie, starring Christopher Jones. He also sings the theme song:
And here's the full movie for those who might wish to see some of the parallels it has with the America First Movement:
