Stop the nightmare fade to black. There was never a time I thought I'd see you like that, a kick to the heart stops kicking tonight. This is too much, my friend.
So I'll down this one just for you. As a gift I'll give you this tune. A sorrowful march these open arms. It's so hard to say goodbye, but I promised I'd be honest.
Haven't fell that hard in a while. Freshest memories were you always in a smile. Sunk to reality with cigarettes I didn't need; we weren't that close my friend.
So I'll down this one just for you. Such young hearts sing such sorrowful tunes. The sidewalk clicks depressingly. As everyone hopes to find some answers, I hope they were answered honestly.
We all saw you covered in black. There was never a time I'd thought I'd see you like that. Close the curtains don't want to feel this tonight, I was wasted and crying as you drove away.
So I'll down this one just for you, or instead I'll give you this tune. Thrown together in memory and all the smiles. It's never easy saying goodbye, I never did.
So I hope this is just as good as sharpie on poster board, all I can do is just hope that you hear me.

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
Gutsy rock & roll from this Brooklyn group bursting with hot-rodding riffs and snarling vocals, hearkening back to classic dark punk. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 24, 2023
Taking cues from Midwestern emo and early ’10 pop punk, this Leeds, UK outfit are full of heart— not to mention hooks. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 21, 2022
