lyrics

We ask you to strive for your best, but not in this case. Just settle in, knuckle down and get used to second place. Don’t forget, we’re not the ones who shot the gun that started this race but if we asked you to, you’d cut off your nose to spite your face. How can I light a fuse when I cannot spark a light? I tried to fight the booze but it won’t go without a fight. Just another vacant lot on the low road of society. No matter what I try, I can’t better this side of me. “So you’ll tax my income and tax my vice?” / “Son, these are the rules. We don’t have to play nice. I wasn’t asking you, boy, so don’t talk back to me. Just think of this as the ol’ money back guarantee on all of the shit that you buy that you don’t even need. As you share with your friends a piece of the greed, mate, we’ve got our snouts in the trough and our pockets are lined. Just handover the cash, nobody gets hurt and it will all work out fine.
It won’t go down quietly.” We drink, we smoke, we fight in bars. We battle demons inside our heads, inside our hearts. We’ll blister and we’ll boil, we’ll pick the scabs that turn to scars. The smoke and drink will be the last thing that will take me beyond the stars.

Adult Braces
by No Trigger

supported by 10 fans who also own “Yankee Blue Jeans”

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

This album creeps into your head. Loud, political, shredding anthems. My cup of tea. Sanden Totten

Entropic
by Hit The Switch

supported by 9 fans who also own “Yankee Blue Jeans”

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

Hits my big 3 for thrash and punk: agressive, technical, and melodic. Plus they're Canadian. Inject it straight into my veins. beansy
