We all get lost in our mid to late twenties. Acknowledging that nothing is ever good as what It seems. Accepting the notion that things will get better, but I beg to differ. The floor fell from beneath me, so I made a new basement. There’s nothing to lay on, so I keep my eyes open. There’s ghosts all around me, demons in my head. This life’s a fucking nightmare, will it ever fucking end? I thought I was just in a bad mood, I realize now it’s just always been you. Won’t sing along to your siren song. Thought your hope was a beacon, but it burnt out like a bulb. No, I won’t sink, I’ll drift along, and if I capsize, I’ll spew saltwater from my own lungs. I put my trust in this, was it all on vein? We’ll go up in smoke, you’ll go down in flame. I never said that this house wasn’t haunted, cold spots cut like mornings in autumn. I never double back on a promise, you’re a leech with teeth like broken bottles. Won’t sing a long to your siren songs, your hope was just a beacon that burnt out like a light bulb and I won’t sink, I’ll drift a long and if I capsize, I’ll kick, scream, tread water until I’m gone. I won’t sing a long to the same song that led me on.

The verse "Can't even buy a coffee without exploiting someone" got me. It really hits hard. For the entire length of the album it felt like the end of the world.
But to be perfectly honest, it's just how life is these days. And it's fucked up. szczur

Been following Somos for many years, feeling that they had an opus in them...well, here it is. Driving pop-punk sensibilities lend an upbeat tone in contrast to the grim lyrical proceedings, and they absolutely pull it off. Evocative music that's been on repeat for me all month long.

Berkely duo Axe serve up four catchy, heavy synth-punk rippers inspired by campy horror flicks and old-school heavy metal. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 28, 2021
Oakland band Silent Era's sound is a killer mix of classic hardcore and NWOBHM. On their second LP, they're especially urgent and anthemic. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 1, 2020
Three songs from this raucous New Zealand group that prove punk still has teeth and isn’t afraid to lunge and bite. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 31, 2019
