four-piece punk rock catchy riffs attitude fun red tape studios
We're a four-piece from Sheffield, England. We like to say we're a rock band but most people tend to call us punk. This is even better because we all love listening to punk rock but we don't want to get into debates about "What is punk and what isn't" because this has plagued many of our favourite bands throughout their existence. Anyway, we hope our music does something for you and hope you come to our shows!

Story behind the song
Nick here, vocalist and guitarist in the band. I wrote the song and its actually my favourite because I spent so long with the lyrics. It's a song about people doing everything for their own interests and not caring what happens to other people as long as they get what they want. This track was recorded at one of our gigs and I end up laughing in the bridge because whenever we play, we try to get our audience to clap during the bridge but they always clap out of time and put us off. This just made me laugh and sound out of tune on the recording!
Lyrics
I feel disconnected, in a world of my own, outcast like countless others, face reality alone. I’m sick of this state of loneliness, rat race breeds lack of trust; relations threaten gains, always on guard, afraid to say too much. Well I know, it’s a vicious circle, an eye for an eye. But I’m sure, it can be stopped just need to try, ‘Cause we’ve made a world where greed’s okay, where the most successful happily betray, where no-one else matters at the end of the day, it’s dog eat dog get out of the way, let’s make it change! I feel disillusioned, motivation’s a disgrace, pretend to care but take advantage, two sides to every face. For every deed agenda’s hidden, selfishness leads to the gold; one track mind, think of number one, unsatisfied, anxious and cold. Well I know, it’s a vicious circle, an eye for an eye. But I’m sure, it can be stopped just need to try, this hostility causes such dismay, ignoring it won’t make it all go away, seems like a maze, so must have an end, unity’s a cause we should defend, let’s make it change, can’t stay the same! Thrown away, discarded, feel useless, unwanted, ‘Cause we’ve made a world where greed’s okay, where the most successful happily betray, where threats and lies are a gateway, to fast cars, money and holidays, where there’s no time for reason, rationality, where no means yes, do it anyway, where no-one else matters at the end of the day, it’s dog eat dog get out of the way! Thrown away, discarded, feel useless, unwanted, sinking in, falling down, dragged under, gonna drown, there’s no choice, must have rights, never quit, worth the fight, had enough, take no more, raise the odds, settle the score!
