Bid the concrete good morning
At least for once you're tired of lying
To yourself, you're not that sad
Just keep repeating this ain't all that bad
Haven't had a bite all day
The hunger cries and I swear that I'm okay
Glad I feel this way right now
Knew this would bite me back somehow
But at least it's safe to say I'd rather be here today
Than back in the vacancies of my head
Tripping over crumpled memories 'cross your floor
That sad look you had at my front door
I tried to drink it away again last night
Sleep through life like an intercontinental flight
Looking out but you don't look in
All my issues? Where do I begin?
Oh, sweet lady, do you know that empty space
The one that never had an exacted place?
Well I found mine but I never could quite fit
All the dive bars, dialogues, and other stupid shit
I gasp for identity and life
When it comes to "sink or swim", sometimes, I feel I'd rather die
Think about this: How many bands have a bagpiper playing lead guitar parts? Not Dropkick, not The Pogues. These guys, on the other hand, do and make it sound kick ass with a drunken Canadian swagger. Fires in Japan
Probably the best punk album, as in first listen, repeat listens, as well as the best crafting of a punk album, I've heard in recent years. Osker was my favorite as a kid, as Banner Pilot is mine now. Fires in Japan

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
