Hold your breath, hold your apathy
Shake your tiny fists at me
Throw your words from way on high
Coat your tongue with salt and lye
Why raise doubt we can't resist
Every way your plan persists
Stitch us up and pull the wires
Lead us not to our desires
Cut me up / Scatter the ashes and say your remembrances
Pour me out / Blood of your brothers, wine of your leaders
Pass the plate / Collect on our sympathy, cash in our charity
Hold out hope / Nothing means anything so don't believe everything
Hold your breath, hold your apathy
Keep on pounding with your beliefs
Grind us down with impunity
Strip out reason and empathy
Build us back and take us in
Baptize us and call us kin
Slaughtered lambs fit for the fire
Stitch us up and pull the wires
Cut me up / Scatter the ashes and say your remembrances
Pour me out / Blood of your brothers, wine of your leaders
Pass the plate / Collect on our sympathy, cash in our charity
Hold out hope / Nothing means anything so don't believe everything
Every whisper, every word
Break 'em down before they are heard
And we'll calculate just how much book to make
Off the souls you pray to take
We've grown wise, but gone soft
In our hands and in our hearts
This blood won't come off
And these words won't lift us up
Sanguine sounds for uncertain times. Tricky beats to make your toes tap in unusual ways. A barrage of melodies and swirling sounds to keep your heartstrings taut. Chumps
Tom Broucksou's piccolo bass lines are meatier than a 50lb brisket. Ryan Richardson's voice soars. Jason Crawford pummels you into complete submission. Get some Gung! Chumps
"Singer of this group is one of the guitar players in the equally-brilliant band Bells≥. Here he spits and swaggers over a bed of vintage-sounding street punk bruisers." - Robert Ham Chumps
Another politically charged punk EP in 2016? Yeah. This could've been horrible, but instead it manages to be great. It seems that J. Robbins can always manage to get amazing musicians together to create great music with him. The female vocals are sick too. Feels like early pixies. needsmorerage
