Do you think of me when you’re all alone? And your boyfriends home, checking messages on his phone. I know you lie awake in the mess you make. I’m the patron saint of the betrayed and you’re nothing but a fucking phase. You’ve always hung this over my head, so I’m giving it back, placing this on your doorstep. We both knew this would come to an end, so let’s not pretend that we never saw it coming. Do you think of May? Or the Grand Mariner? When we sat all day in a Summer haze, sipping on shit champagne. Drinking down our problems cause we’re never gonna solve them now. So we’ll just keep drinking down, cause our problems won’t solve themselves. Yeah, we’ll just keep drinking down everything we never talked about, drown out. A sip of deceit, a bottle of lies, a shot of the truth, smoother than wine. Tequila and lime, glazed over eyes, passed out at the wheel on the drunkest of drives.
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
