Next year we’ll revel in holiday cheer. Until the whiskey will hold back the tears. And all these words I choke on and swallow whole could only make me feel so miserable.
I'm nervous and weak, and I cant fucking sleep; so I drink so much that I cant remember. And they’ll come a day that my mind wont replay all the anguish and the subtle reminders of you and I.
It’s my own fault and I know that now. Won’t bother sifting ashes once that fires burnt out. And if you crave love, let it die, let it go. Enough’s enough.

It took 28 years to figure out whats wrong.To figure out why I just can’t learn to forgive myself. And it haunts me at night when I’m all alone. Creeping in my conscience tearing me apart, tearing me apart, tearing.
Time won’t stand still, not for me or for anyone else. And it’s no use hurting the ones that are trying to help. I won’t ever grow if I can’t let you go. So, I’m letting you go, I’m letting you go.
If this pain ever ends, I'll never speak to anyone ever again. Don’t need to justify a means to an end. I write down things to remind myself to change for the sake, the sake of my mental state.

Mary, can you hear me? I didn't mean to wreck your evening. I know there must be a reason to why you fell in love with him. So, why’d you fall in love with him?
He gave you children and he gave you love. Brought you the stars from the heavens above. But, love can fester in a hateful heart, love can fester in a hateful heart.
Peter, have you noticed? I think you've had quite enough now, everyone's going. There's no use telling racist anecdotes, you lowered the bar to a new low. Now tell me, where did Mary go?
She gave you children and she gave you love. Brought you the stars from the heavens above. But, love can fester in a hateful heart. Love can fester in a hateful heart.

Astoria! I never knew you, but I heard of you a lot. I heard that song and I sang. Gloria was playing through the radio when we were just 15.
I know you know it doesn't have to be this way. I know you know we couldn't have it anyway. Albany was a home to me, but I left my heart back in Jersey. And it breaks my heart to see you leave. Breaks my heart to see you leave.
My return to Long Island was of fleeting joy and exasperation. Another year, another funeral. And I thought to myself, I’ll never see your face again.

You flash your venom teeth.They know it’s your time to feed . And if you want to make a meal out of me...
You can take my eyes. You can gnaw on my bones, drink the marrow inside. I’ll be alright. I’ll be just fine
You know you did me wrong. Took some time, but I moved on. And like a siren’s song, I’ll be yours before long.
You can take my eyes. You can gnaw on my bones,drink the marrow inside. I’ll be alright. Happens all the time

I hear “Shock Troops” playing on the stereo. Downtown Baltimore, a thousand miles from home. The winter cold could break an iron will. So can minimum wage and hospital bills.
The mind’s a prison of its own design. You can write a story or you can slowly die. Fucked it all to Hell, but I know there’s still time to right the wrongs and turn the stereo up.
This world can leave you torn and defeated. And through it all, I’ll keep on repeating.
I believe in you. Do you believe in me?

Love you guys. Makes me feel young again. Keep it going please xx
go to album
Jagged post-punk from Sydney captures the sound of the ’70s in its acute angled guitars and detacted vocals.
go to album
Revved-up and totally askew post-punk from Buffalo’s Ismatic Guru, with guitars that corkscrew like mad.
go to album
Lo-fi, scratchy, and somewhat vulgar punk rock straight out of Cincinnati, Ohio. Don't overthink it—they didn't.
go to album
Colossally good New Wave out of Portland, with the nerviness of Kleenex poured into hooky pop songs.

Spetters / RA!D
by Spetters & RA!D
A terrific split cassette from two promising young indie bands, this is one part melody, one part fury.
