jubyteacher In February of 2025, I stumbled across the album "Horse Girl Energy," by a band called New Primals, on discogs. The little 30 sec. clips it lets you listen to were enough for me to put the album in my cart. I was sad to discover the band was defunct, but I was so impressed with the incredible guitar work that I had to track down the guitarist-and that led me to this amazing trio. I have been telling everyone I know about how great this record is. Wishing y'all nothing but success from Kansas. Favorite track: Fly Fly.

endlessjake This album blows my mind. Part Q and not U, part Atari Teenage Riot, and something entirely their own. Best live band in Seattle right now. Favorite track: Fly Fly.

Down Below 04:14
Stone cold floors, panels of wood Familiar with the feeling, not misunderstood Hearing the cries, the outside air I don’t want this anymore, No! I don’t want this anymore! It’s so hard to sleep on the floor! I’m going (I’m going) I’m going down below! On the cold kitchen floor I’m going (I’m going) I’m going (I’m going) Down! Cot’s in the mail! It’s on its way now! Here I sit, here I wait White noise channeled from below Can’t compete with the voices inside my mind Where is the sound? No! Give me the sound! One more move and now I’m going down!

Roy Street 02:43
Words, in your space, they're like a weapon, you like to fire them right off into the wind Quick wit, sharp tongue, no pause, no mercy, no fun So take a bite, yeah take a piece, make you hang it on the wall for them to see Hot take, hot dogma, make sure you pass it around, so we all can get up and get down I see you now, I see you later! I throw it all under the table! Wait until you can't, then push it all out Don't go wasting, don't go chasing No pause, no mercy, no fun Out in the city, out in the garden, the roads that take you to the other side of town Big money, and high rises, they catch the sunlight so it never hits the ground And your face, it's like a mirror, you like to hang it on the wall for them to see High fashion, hot dogma, make sure you pass it around, make sure you pass it around and get up I see you now, I see you later! I throw it all under the table! Wait until you can't, then push it all out Don't go wasting, don't go chasing Push it down, to the ground, throw it back, turn around!

Facelift 03:11
Smile, smile! All my life I’ve been told to smile, smile! That line is so fuckin old Sometimes! I want! To feel more than a bliss Sometimes! I want! To feel the weight of the abyss Let it, let you, let you let me in Let you, let me, let each other in Hold it, hold it, feel it swallow me up Stop it, stop it, you better not switch up Empty empty! It doesn’t matter! Flipped hourglass! Let it shatter! Let go! Let them stay in their heads Cover up what’s inside No one ever needs to see What’s going on underneath Who do you want to be? Places, places, everyone to their places! Faces, faces, time to put on our faces!

Fly Fly 03:37
I’ve been a little bit far away, been a little bit far away, oh yeah! Ain't got no room to breathe, too late for me to turn that page and It's a little bit hard to tell, yeah it’s a little too hard to tell when I'm coming back home, but I'm coming back around So bring it back now I don't hear common sense, I don't hear common sense when you talk! I'll never be your friend, I see that tricky way you walk and It's just I needed to be sure that what you offered me hadn't trickled right down your leg before it hit my hand So bring it! I guess that's all we get, I guess that's all we get I needed to be sure, but I guess that's all we get now, huh? I guess that's all you give, I guess that's all you give Had to see it for myself but I guess that's all you give now, huh? See - See (REDACTED) - See him walking - See him fly! I see (who do you see?) I see (REDACTED) - See him walking - See him fly! (fly fly fly fly) You've got something in your teeth, I see something in your teeth when you grin It must be hard to be so clever and so cool, god damn! I take it that you've never had anyone tell you about that stink upon your breath, but maybe that's just my guess now, huh?

Raught! 02:59
You love to wage war on those who can't take it Love to invade with western innovation You love to be the most hated nation Conglomerate America, leading best in exploitation! Waited, how I waited, watched and waited, and stood still! Opinion, your opinion, big distraction, a big shill! So much better than me So fuckin' tough Made to struggle while they suffer Made to watch in technicolor, technicolor, technicolor! Made to struggle while they suffer in technicolor, technicolor, technicolor! Where is my free speech and my right to choose? Is it so much to put yourself in our shoes? I live in fear of turning on the news What you let us see, is just the tip of the abuse! Water, oil and water, stick together, stick like glue! Monster, you're that monster, in the river, I see you! You want us all to sit idly by while you destroy it all Want us all to sit idly by while you destroy it all Want me to sit, want me to suffer Toiling my life all away while you sit on my back Spit in my face, strangle my neck Throwing myself in the trench, what you made me to do It's what I'm made to do FUCK IT!

Control control, they only want control Wanna tie us down to their bankroll Its never been about where the children go Just maintain American status quo Pointing fingers to gawk at the laughingstock Not so funny when you're up on the chopping block You'll never know what its like to be us Can't properly define the word fetus Breed breed breed you'll bleed us til we bleed Take everything there's nothing to concede Spill our blood you'll drench this country red Your policy is only cheering on more death I want your laws out of my insides Contraband Contraband sing it Contraband, contraband Your dirty hands are wrapped around my throat Screaming logic at you doesn’t seem to make a difference Your words only come from a place of hatred Built your fan banking on their ignorance Too close to the sun modern day Icarus But it’s gonna too late you’re gonna bring us down Heat the world up you’d love to watch us drown Oceans swallow us whole you wanna go for it all I know you wanna take over the world Breed breed breed you'll bleed us til we bleed Take everything there's nothing to concede Spill our blood you'll drench this country red Your policy is only cheering on more death I want your laws out of my insides Lets make it personal I won't be merciful I applaud your downfall I hope you lose it all I hope you lose it all

For Nothing 02:15
Give me nothing! Give it to me right away! I don't wanna talk about it! I don't wanna breathe that breath! I said I need for nothing! Said I want it right away! Take it off my hands, god dammit I need to feel it wash away, wash away! Said ! need it right now! Give it to me right now! Give me nothing! You could take my breath away! I don’t wanna talk about it! I don’t wanna feel that pressure! Said I want nothing! Said I want it right away! Take it off my hands, goddamnit! I need to feel it wash away! Watch it! Give it to me, cleanse it away, take it off! Under my skin, falling to bits, give it all for you!

Focus Focus 02:54
I think I wanna take your picture! I think I wanna get my best shot, best shot! I think I wanna take a walk, down by the beach, down where I wanna go, wanna go! I really wanna take your picture I think I wanna hitch a ride downtown now I wanna see you in the middle I think I, I really wanna take your picture - hey hey! I think I wanna catch a movement I think I wanna see it all go down now I think I wanna get lost, down in the crowd, down where I wanna go, wanna go I really wanna take your picture! I wanna see you blow them all away now Put it all in focus! Put it all in, line em up, knock em on down now! Shoot, shoot! I think I wanna shoot, shoot! I think I wanna put it all on the line, throw my body on the tracks so I can show them all what I see, what I feel They can all know what I feel now, cause there's a message written over your face, if we put our feet down we can cast it out That world, catch it right! Let's catch it right! I see you rolling on the floor I think I want a little more I really wanna take your picture, picture! I see you rolling on the ground And I know what I found, I really wanna take your picture!

Turn Out 03:12
Light my spark! Look in my face and see my fire start Call me back and tell me where you are Keep me there and see it through And I can hear you when you run your mouth And I can see you when you start to shout I’d like to catch you if you’re going out So will you let me come with you? Yeah, will you let me come with you? We roll, and fall in the mouth of the night! I’d like to see when the moment arrives! So take me over and out of my mind! Ooooooooo! We roll, and fall, and turn in the mouth of the night! I’d like to see when the moment arrives! So take me over and out of my mind! Ooooooooooo! I kinda like it when you push me, push me I can feel it, I can feel it, that you got me, got me Once we start this, there is no stopping Take my hand, will you let me follow you? Ohhh and once the night gets going, going Look in your face, see that fire glowing, glowing Face to face, the night is slowly running out And when it’s all gone, I wanna see you around Back up! Back up! I’d like to see you work it out Turn out! Turn out! Take my hand and show me how We roll, and fall, and turn in the mouth of the night! I’d like to see when the moment arrives! So take me over and out of my mind! Ooooooooooo! We roll, and fall, and turn in the mouth of the night! I’d like to see when the moment arrives! So take me over and out of my mind! Ooooooooooo!

Maria 03:38
I’ve lost track of what’s going over! It’s going over my head! I don’t feel it slowing down Can’t seem to stop that motion And when you speak, I hope that you know what you mean Yeah, when you speak, I know it’s not for me, NO! I ain’t letting you come in closer! I won’t let you in! Your body moving like a locomotor You’re rolling on, cruising, won’t you rack em up, shoot ‘em down! Give me another moment! I need a second to breathe! I need to pack up and drift away! I need to dig deep, dig deep, dig deep! Maria, won’t you go, go, go, go! I’m crossing out your name I’m not playing out your game Maria, won’t you go, go, go, go! You’re out living a lie And I’m taking back my time! I’ve lost track of what’s going over! It’s going over my head! I don’t feel it slowing down Can’t seem to stop that motion I don’t wanna take another step! Don’t wanna swallow your shame! You’ve got a mouth that’s made for talking You’ve got a mouth that’s made to chew em up and spit em out I like to waste away my time, so put your hand in mine Cause I’m coming back now, move me just a little bit closer! Maria, won’t you go, go, go, go! I’m crossing out your name! I’m not playing out your game! Maria, won’t you go, go, go, go! You’re out living a lie! I’m taking back my I can’t feel you, head is crashing out!
