Screaming underwater, don’t let them know
Raise your glass and smile straight to hell
Raise and toast repeat times two, awkward situations
Forced entertainment I can’t see through
Cold hands cover my mouth
So stop screaming, stop screaming
If you’re heading north I'm moving south
Stop dreaming, stop dreaming
Draining my life, soaking in tears
Wasting my life, year after year
I'm draining my life away, I'm draining my life away
The thick smoke, the fake smiles
To wear it out tonight I’ll take the long way home
We are inbetweeners, in dull conversations
We look but don’t see, we hear but don’t speak.
I love it. Have to agree with still bummed: this packs an emotional punch but rocks hard. I've played this whole album repeatedly over the last week which is unusual for me. Exhilarating, poignant, intelligent, melodic. Robin Ward
Knockout debut from a Buffalo, New York-based hardcore band who like their riffs sick, their drums fast, and their choruses sticky-sweet. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 28, 2024
The Minneapolis band add a horn section, a running surrealist allegory about walls, and an occasional nod to the elegiac to their electroshocked post-punk. Bandcamp Album of the Day Mar 4, 2024
