We are the ones
With more at stake
And nothing to lose
But the futures we’d make
Time on our hands
Not on our side
A world set to burn
By those who’ve not tried
We know the risks
No compromise
Our vision is greater
Together we rise
Hands in the dirt
Not in the air
Creating a world
That others won’t dare
We find a void to fill
A new idea to will
An energy we feed
The community we need
Sift through the ruins
Collect remains
From the roots grow ideas
Motivation for change
Stone by stone
Foundations set
We build the bridges
And live out of step
This is our refuge
Wide open doors
Each to their own
With a vital cause
Self-liberation
A better life
By ourselves, for ourselves
DIY
Self-reliance in defiance
Of a world that drags us down
Independent, we defend it
From the dollar, from the pseudo crown
We empower those who cower
From being made with another’s clay
We determine victors from vermin
Honour those living their own way
“Trust yourself – every heart vibrates to that iron string”
Nothing was ever gained
From holding back

Aggressive, intense, extreme music (punk, hardcore, metal) should be raw and bullshit free, stripped of self-indulgent "mood setting" riffs and arrangements to produce its effect. PUNCH and "They Don't Have to Believe" is a paradigm of this ethos 'par excellence' as they say. _teeth
Dead Cross, Retox, and Qui members dish out subversive hardcore with an indignant smirk; come for the riffs, stay for the synth experiments. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 31, 2024
Knockout debut from a Buffalo, New York-based hardcore band who like their riffs sick, their drums fast, and their choruses sticky-sweet. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 28, 2024
This entire album rips. I've had this on repeated play several times since it came out. I wish I had heard it a week earlier when they played in Boston. One of my fav albums in this genre period. slimes
