about
The first single off our forthcoming EP "Wake Up, Sidley"! You might have heard the demo version we posted back in June. Well here's the full version in Crisp HD (or something like that). If you like it, give it a download, and come back on October 31 (HALLOWEEN MOTHERFUCKER) and download the rest of the EP!
lyrics
Put pen to the check to sign
For digitized Insecticide
Where pain and disdain is publicized
And privacy is a puppets lie
Force fed man's new best friend
No chance you won't repent
Endorse the master, don't comprehend
Sober and willing to over extend
The universe will lose to ripple
The garbage overtakes us all
There is no climbing from the fall
Discard the brain, the mind is feeble
Lamenting schizophrenia in a voiceless new millennia
Nobody goes to space anymore
The rovers on Mars are hubs for internet shopping
New stock catalogs replacing soft core porno
Posting pictures to the web of exit wounds in their torso
So eat, drink, and be Marion Barry
and when shit gets hairy know tomorrow we'll all die
And when in doubt just buy, buy, buy
to fill the void in your heart as you reach for the sky
It's like this, it's the end of the world
you get a lotta people lost as the branches unfurl
Your Facebook friends won't be next to your bed
I hear there's really shitty wifi six feet under the world
Connect to gain effect
Eyes pry, denied request
Credit limit you can not cheat
But still get lost in the double speak
Big brother's a three inch card
No love culture is avant garde
Steve Jobs splitting atoms and Eves
iTunes killed the record sleeve
Save face and write off as parti pris
It's time to bid the drug adieu
I'm pulling out the feeding tube
At night we type, we sit here lifeless
There's so much more these hands can do
So what the hell is stopping you
Swipe the plastic it'll be okay
We'll all live to buy another day
And the iPhone 2000 is what's up next
To stoked to notice the neighbor bleeding out on your doorstep
So eat, drink, and be Marion Barry
and when shit gets hairy know tomorrow we'll all die
And when in doubt just buy, buy, buy
to fill the void in your heart as you reach for the sky
It's like this, it's the end of the world
you get a lotta people lost as the branches unfurl
Your Facebook friends won't be next to your bed
I hear there's really shitty wifi six feet under the world

This Baltimore group rough up post-punk with dark post-hardcore riffs and chaotic choruses, never losing a fine-tuned sense of melody. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 13, 2024
Big and fuzzy and full of right angles and off-kilter hooks, there's a lot of '90s DC/Baltimore DIY tradition in this newer DC band. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 26, 2017
Powerful in every way, this DC hardcore group's first full-length is the siren song to having no home as a person of color—in punk, in society, in America. It could not have arrived at a more appropriate time. Bandcamp Album of the Day Jul 15, 2016
Ragged and forceful, this D.C. indie rock "supergroup" takes aim at gentrification and the subsequent deadening of underground culture. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 10, 2016
