We set sail against the wind. Fail waves, rise, falls, fallacies. Murky water, I bet they’d never find me or spin the search lights for me. The fire in my eyes never faded out. The voices in my head pulled me through the doubt. The sky is painted black, I’m drowning in a drought. The light above my head is a supernova. Not trying to live extraordinary lives, we’ll just scrape by. Conquer the whole world, that’s well and fine. We will just scrape by. You might have bought it but you don’t own it, you never cared to question the motive. Kicking down doors and taking it back. You work, you could slave, no matter what, death still gets payed. You could parish or you could thrive. Flip the coin to see which side
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. RIP, Phil PaintedDogs
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
