Once not that long ago I heard you speak the words
I never thought I’d hear you say again
The utterance was just enough to make my ears burn
To pique my interest in the subject
In our circumstance can it ever really be?
Can you break away from the things that tie you down?
What does it mean to actually be,
is it something we can even do in our fucked up society?
Freedom you read about you spoke about and now it’s time to be
To be free
Once you’ve broke down the walls what’s your next move gonna be?
Can you pawns take your king unaided?
Are you gonna take down all the upper classes in one fell swoop?
Or are you content to leave then flailing?
A perfect blend of ska & skater punk, this album has a hard edge to its sound, while still using uplifting undertones as a foundation. There are a few tracks such as "Flip the Switch", which explores a darker sound, or "Scavenger", which has a bit of a jazzy undertone, both breaking things up and making for a nice contrast from the other tracks. "Robot" and "Empathy" both have a more mellow and relaxing sound to them, and the latter makes for a perfect close to the album. Worth a listen. :) VigorousJammer
Dead Cross, Retox, and Qui members dish out subversive hardcore with an indignant smirk; come for the riffs, stay for the synth experiments. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 31, 2024
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
