    Truly two sides to every story with this one.

    10 original punk songs recorded via contributions from all over the globe, produced and arranged by Jay Whalley and Clem Bennett at The Pet Food Factory. From the mentally questionable mind of Matt Downey (Cousin Betty, Death Mattel).

    The alternate side is the same 10 songs reimagined as pristine Jazz. Courtesy of the master-level skills of Andrew Scott (The Pocket Trio) the songs are recognisable but disparately brilliant.

    4. Hate Will Own You

lyrics

In the antechamber of a kings house, like some brownstone stoopers sharing bagged bottles
we take turns as one another’s confidant and nurse as best we can the inflictions from those
I daren’t compare my wounds to yours because it’s not their depth that gives them validity or your grievances cogency
besides, it’s not the wrongs but the wronged and you don’t deserve it, you’ll never deserve it
Start painting bullseyes on the head of every narcissist
This architecture, these perfect structures they might serve to protect us but they’ll never redeem us
It’s facades and render and it might fool the tourists but you and I know better, this time
You paint a pretty graphic picture of what it means to warrant such detest
And having not the tribulation of such circumstance I can only wish you the best -leaving me depressed
So in the antechamber of a kings house, like some brownstone stoopers sharing bagged bottles
I explain it’s not the wrongs but the wronged and you don’t deserve it, you’ll never deserve it
Start painting bullseyes on the head of every narcissist
Kristy my wish for you is death via lifelong unhappiness

Originally formed in 2014 for a period of 1 month of shows, reformed with a new line-up and new album in 2022. This unique punk band is the brainchild of Matt Downey (Cousin Betty/Death Mattel). The new album is a two-sided exploration of cross genres, an effort to see if content is universal or exclusive to a particular tribe. ... more
