Agonise future aberrations
Settle more than setting goals
We reach, falling into the dark
Drag ourselves over coals
We lose like we’ll lose every time
Give in before giving more
Miss out while missing the point
Of why we tried at all
Each fault does not mean failure
It’s my success at forging on
Your outcomes don’t define me
If patience is a virtue
I need to make it mine
Like the surging water
Grinds rock over time
I choose to last the journey
Climbing from sit to stand
I learned from every struggle
When each day is an ordeal
The waves keep crashing to shore
My gain is each stroke on the tide
Every whitewashed breath restored
And I keep rising up for more
I’m not held down now
Because I’m not defeated
So don’t you underestimate my will
I adapt and through perseverance
I’m stronger still
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

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
