NC punk 71 Motor punk ❀ (and it will go toward my ‘22 AOTY despite its NYE release)

Such tight and fast playing by synth, drums, guitar. Damn, ALL the vocalists, but đŸ€ŒđŸŒRoisin.

đŸ‘ŠđŸŒ bass on title track

The lyrics are angry, prudent, and sure.

“Deconstruct, Dismantle, Disrupt, and Deny”

Oh, and badass cover art. Need. Favorite track: White Fungus Suburbia.

Lavinie Cloutier Bien d'accord, il est temps de passer Ă  autre chose!

J'en ai marre des gens qui ont des préjugés envers tous ceux qui sont différents d'eux!

Lisez Platon et sortez de votre grotte.

Aidons les humains Ă  redevenir des humains...

First they came for the communists And i did not speak out Because i was not a communist So i did not speak out Then they came for the socialists And i did not speak out Because i was not a socialist So i did not speak out Then they came for the trade unionists And i did not speak out Because I was not a trade unionist So i did not speak out Then they came for the anarchists And i did not speak out Because I was not a anarchist So i did not speak out Then they came for the jews And i did not speak out Because i was not a jew So i did not speak out Then they came for me No one left for me Then they came for me No one left to speak out for me Hush hush Complacency I’ll shut up If they’re not coming for me
2.
Searching the sea, smelling the salt Following the light, to the asphalt Shells are crushed, legs smeared out Do you need proof, to feel the drought? Her shell is on full display, in a living room far away Her house got stolen, she’s not the first But never mind, it’s not the worst She lingers in a rusty can, what can i say, it’s all she has The tar is melting, the temperature’s rising Are you helping? How’s your timing? That’s not working, that’s not fixing The ice is melting, the clock is ticking Ecocrisis, ecocide

White Tears 05:17
Cry your white tears, you sad racist fuck Cry your white tears, while we disrupt Your platform, your place is gone You’re overdue, it’s time to move on Your racist traditions, it’s time to say goodbye Time to deconstruct, dismantle and deny Let those white tears roll, and wash away the paint Let those white tears wash away your racist blackface Clinging on to remnants of a dying tradition I’ll gladly give a push, no reform but abolition Who will rewrite history? Acknowledge the misery? Colonialist endeavours, museums full of stolen treasures Deconstruct, dismantle, disrupt and deny
4.
To the wounds that seek the arrow I feel your underlying pain To the eyes that seek the horror I’ll try to look instead of blame Bruised fruit tastes the sweetest Unlearning to be a pleaser Face down in dirt Unlearning it should hurt Bruised fruit tastes the sweetest Unlearning to be a pleaser Unlearning the excuses Excusing the abuses To the hands that want to hold But self-destruct and push away Let your guard down and You’ll see mine feel the same To those heavy shoulders Carrying the weight Trust me with the load No need to be afraid I’m a bottomless pit, feeling empty But i'm filled to the brim, with sympathy To the bones that became weary Hurt by sticks and stones Words have really hurt you But mine have a different tone
5.
Your ignorance is their bliss Broken windows can be fixed Don’t get guilt trapped into it People over property Apatia, apatia, apatia Panorama de mierda Structural solutions Yes we are those heretics But it’s your fault In neoliberal rhetoric
6.
White fungus suburbia Creeping up and taking over Dusty clouds of vinex houses White fungus suburbia I’m lost, I’m lost, hear me shout It’s so safe, I can’t get out Protected by the neighbours' eye Watched over, day and night Gentrified and petrified Suburbanised and pacified Suffocated So choked up Dusty clouds In my lungs White fungus Creeping up Gasp for breath I’m fucking done
7.
No priest, no father No god, no master The tyranny of theology An oppressive divinity As long as there’s a master in heaven We shall be slaves on this earth You can follow what the book dictates But a burning church illuminates No piety, no deity Fuck your holy trinity Your patriarchal cult Of so-called virginity

about

Our record is finally out! Order yours at kink records, or through us if you live in Groningen.
For those who didn't know, our beloved drummer and friend Maynard passed away in May, after being sick for months.
His biggest love was music and he was a huge record collector.
Unfortunately Maynard couldn't stay with us to feel the record in his hands and listen to the music on vinyl. But luckily he left us with this legacy, a carefully crafted record filled with our love, sadness and rage.
Rest in punk buddy
