A father looks to the ground
The same silhouette and sounds
Pissed away
You wished away
All since the day
He sold you out
No past that sets us apart
And all former precedents gone
It's a shame if it's all in your mind
Dissenters look to the signs
They explain the extent of sin
They sense a way
To separate
The kids today
From the man you are
You'd hope to mention this one
As someone's devotional song
It's a shame if it's all in your mind
A son he looks to the ground
The same silhouettes and sounds
Pissed away
He wished away
All since the day
You sold him out
No past that sets us apart
All former testaments gone
It's a shame if it's all in your mind

Eyes To The Light

Hand's on the suitcase
All out of time
Packed up the the suitcase
But nowhere to hide
Memories, like luxuries, fade
He stands at the staircase
Her eyes to the light
Still like a photo
No thought of a fight
Better to feel anything but misery
Crimes of the heart are to blame or deny
Nothing will change that he pushed from behind
She's passed on and yet he's feeling dead
"To hell" she had said
"Look at my hands, see my eyes. Look to the grave that holds this
fire. I'm counting the days till I meet you again"
She says "I'm betrayed and I'm no liar... I'm betrayed and I'm no
liar. All told with this death and the price that's placed on your
head. You'll find that I'm in the wind falling to give you up... I'm
betrayed and I'm no liar... I'm betrayed and I'm no liar..."

What a GREAT album! It has been a while since I found an album that I could listen to from beginning to end without skipping. Classic Ian MacKaye vocals. Amy Farina absolutely kills it on drums. I hadn't heard of Joe Lally on Bass, but really enjoyed his singing/bass. I highly advise checking this out. You'll get hooked. I love "Clean Kill" but "BQM" does it for me (love the beat). Congrats Coriky! Nicely done! Can't wait to see you live!!!

Another politically charged punk EP in 2016? Yeah. This could've been horrible, but instead it manages to be great. It seems that J. Robbins can always manage to get amazing musicians together to create great music with him. The female vocals are sick too. Feels like early pixies.

Abandoned Mansions acoustic EP

I've been a fan of J's music for a very long time. Some of the best songs from the entirety of J's discography (Jawbox, Burning Airlines, and Office of Future Plans) are re-recorded here with very stripped-down instrumentation. J's singing voice only gets stronger and more eloquent with the passage of time. The acoustic version Lorelei gives me goosebumps, and the recording of "68" nearly brought me to tears. A must have for anyone who's a fan of J.s music.

Other Ways of Living

The indie band, headed by singer-songwriter Erin Umstead, play languid, deliberate rock permeated with a sensation of loss.

Sustained by seismic psych riffs, proggy shifts, and vivid sci-fi storytelling, these Milwaukee cosmonauts command respect.

Heartrending screamo with heart-on-sleeve lyrics from Bad Naps captures visceral emotions in razor-edged riffs & pained vocals.
