BRIDGES COLLAPSE, HIGH RISES GO UP
MOST LIVABLE CITY, BUT ONLY IF YOU MAKE THE CUT
POLLUTED RIVERS, TOXIC AIR
THEY BUILD AND BUILD, BUT CAN’T HIDE THE DESPAIR
CRUSHED BENEATH THE STEEL
A LIVING WAGE: NOT PART OF THE DEAL
CALCULATED MISERY, WITH NO CROSS TO BEAR
DON’T ASK FOR HELP, CAUSE THEY DON’T CARE
YOUR HISTORY HERE IS OF NO SIGNIFICANCE
CAUSE WHAT DEVELOPMENT WANTS, DEVELOPMENT GETS
POLICEMAN STANDING ON THE STREET
SOMEONE WENT DOWN IN THE SUMMER HEAT
URBAN BLIGHT, PISS & SHIT
IF YOU’RE LOOKING FOR PEACE HERE YOU WON’T FIND IT
AGAINST THE POOR, THE DECK IS STACKED
EVERYONE’S FIGHTING FOR THE SAME SCRAPS
TENSION’S BUILDING UP, IT’S GONNA BURST
AND WHEN IT DOES YOU KNOW IT’S GONNA HURT
BLOOD AND STEEL
UNDER THE HEEL
BLOOD AND STEEL
YOUR FATE IS SEALED
Powerful in every way, this DC hardcore group's first full-length is the siren song to having no home as a person of color—in punk, in society, in America. It could not have arrived at a more appropriate time. Bandcamp Album of the Day Jul 15, 2016
Terrific goth-y post-punk from Pittsburgh full of knifepoint guitars, threatening atmospheres, and vocals delivered with a scowl. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 10, 2022
My favorite albums of 2023, #6.
The bastard child of early Venom and Black Flag, with just a touch of The Wipers' pop instincts. Amazingly underproduced, it sounds like it was recorded on a boombox. Levrikon
