Hissing under your breath
This scene’s a total miss
Blue systems of privilege steer
Fear of future, future of fear
Shadows / Shut out
Whispers / Busted up
Rattling out of time
Every move and scene’s a problem
Not to court mass disapproval
But I’ll opt for my removal
They social regulate
Watch them go, they mind the gate

A description of our situation
A vision not tied up in fashion
Are we there yet? Some enterprising faction
We’re not social climbing in the place of passion
I want it and I want to want it.
We waited for as long as you’d expect
On a punk ass gatekeeper we don’t respect
A TV-addicted dude obsessed with wrestling
Who sounds like his brain’s been warped by mescaline

Pitch black
I can tell that it’s not just time
Effort or fancy rhymes
Made it weird when you got too real
This is just a social deal
Watch your back
Prophets and quacks
Multiply
So what
I can feel I caught a break
But at a cost that’s hard to take
I can feel it’s not just sound
When the days are winding down

Prove It

Mid-sized venue concert hall
Is it the band or the fan getting robbed?
Reach deep in our pockets to hear the songs
So Bob Mold doesn’t have to get a job
Paid the cost to pay the cost
What matters, how can I tell if this matters?
I don’t approve
But what does that prove? What’s it even do?
I don’t approve
Prove
Prove
Prove
Prove
Prove it.
Paid the cost to pay the cost

House Arrest

Don’t want to go outside
Can’t whip up the desire
It really gets my goat
Microdose this life
Don’t want to go outside
Read about it online
They bring you in just to tear you down
It’s just how it’s designed
Don’t want to go outside
Trapped in old high rise
This time it’s not my fault
Watch my antacids dissolve
Don’t want to go outside
A hundred thousand times
‘Rithm around my throat
Where is our Devo?

One of the best hc/punk albums released in 2024. Touch of crust adds a better edge to it as well. Yet another great band out of the Richmond, VA area.

Hmmm…a raging punk threepiece from Minneapolis. Sounds kinda familiar. Loud, sloppy, and fast as hell. The sons of Savage Young Du. Love these guys.
