lyrics
I've watched a town I love turn into a town I hate. I watched all these kids somehow lose their way. They were just like me, trying to fulfill their dream but something in them has changed. They're not the same. They started living a different way and it feels like they're slipping away, but i won't make the same mistakes that they made. And it feels like I'm running away from everything that I've ever helped create. I can;t take this anymore; my hands are dirty. Its time for me to settle the score. It's to move on and let go of the things holding me back; let go of the things I've become. But i can still feel my innocence and I can still feel my beautiful bliss. I can't go back to the day where this was everything, but I can start living a new way, free from everything that's keeping me bound.
On their debut record, the London hardcore upstarts cross-up mosh-ready fare with melancholic ambient passages, weeping guitars, and virtuosic vocal harmonies, but its romantic veneer is much more complicated than it seems. Bandcamp Album of the Day Jan 30, 2019
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
