lyrics
Pseudo intellectual socialites
You're too caught up with your human rights
But not strong enough to put up a fight
Pseudo fascist brats
Pretentiousness has you whining for a way back
You'd rather run and I've got your bags packed
Your screams for some redeeming change will never come this day
Cries of hope, tears of difference
Your eyes all melt into a conforming trance
Those sightless eyes expecting to be saved never find their way
Claws at the wall, cursing disgrace
Your nothingness has shown its face
You're walking so tall
You can't break your fall
I'm bringing you down
This pathetic bullshit you brand is at it's end
This is my purpose for screaming
The copycat kids are never leaving
HEY! HEY! Your songs all sound the same
So give it up and obsess over the next trend
You're walking so tall
You can't break your fall
I'm bringing you down
This pathetic bullshit you brand is at it's fucking end
We are not the same
In a perfect world
Although you're still trying
To have your difference heard
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
UK82-inspired hardcore punk from Christchurch, New Zealand, gruff and fast and economical and, of course, righteously pissed. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 16, 2020
On their debut record, the London hardcore upstarts cross-up mosh-ready fare with melancholic ambient passages, weeping guitars, and virtuosic vocal harmonies, but its romantic veneer is much more complicated than it seems. Bandcamp Album of the Day Jan 30, 2019
From the first deadened cowbell to the last dissonant guitar interval, Dutch quartet Geo's new record is shaped for impact. Bandcamp Album of the Day Apr 25, 2024
