Standing in the shadow of a man
Who left the biggest footsteps to follow
Failing to meet expectations
Am I setting the bar too high?
‘Cause they say never judge a man
‘Til you’ve walked a mile in his shoes
Yet I never could, not with everything
You carried behind you
And when will this become any easier?
It won’t until I fucking die
But of course, I don’t blame you
I never could
It just must have been your time to go
Goodbye my father
Goodbye old friend
I never got to know you
And that’s my only true regret (x2)
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
The Minneapolis band add a horn section, a running surrealist allegory about walls, and an occasional nod to the elegiac to their electroshocked post-punk. Bandcamp Album of the Day Mar 4, 2024
