These are the pride of lions well past their prime. The ones drinking on the green and slowly running out of time tell stories of conquest long gone by. They’re told countless times under cloudless skies. They’ve seen the standards lowered. They’ve watched as prices rose. They’ve stood their ground and got back up after being dealt one thousand blows. These men who used to fight for freedom now fight malignant and benign. And now they struggle with jealousy of friends who were cut down in their prime. They shake their heads and wonder why.

Kick ass EP. I’m a big fan of No Trigger’s whole catalog but this EP harkins back to the good ‘ol Canyoneer days and man is it refreshing. Vocals are killer as always and the band continues to rock razor sharp guitar melodies that never get convoluted. Okay stop reading this and go support these guys. Don
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
UK82-inspired hardcore punk from Christchurch, New Zealand, gruff and fast and economical and, of course, righteously pissed. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 16, 2020
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
