This city is no longer for us. The streets no longer fertile like they once were. Neon lights growing dim while the developers are marching in. This isn’t fun anymore. Living like roadkill carcass left to rot. Hack off what you can; what you’ve still got. I’ve been there. I’ve seen it
The grass on the other side is greener; more vibrant. We’ve got some work to do here. You can stay and nurture what you’ve got only to have it stripped away. With the other option to pack up and move on. Do you see this shell of a city? Barely a whimper of what it once was. These are not the streets that we believed in. All those memories now fucking lost. Have we asked for too much? I think we have. There’s bleach thrown over the tiles that killed off all the weeds that made this place what it was in the first place. The reflux burns out the taste we had, which was already diluted by the salt water poured over us. What wrong turn will they take next? I guess that’s the thrill now. We’re the ones who want it all or so say the ones who no longer have to crawl as they tear down what we’ve worked so hard to create around us.

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
