biking around downtown in the cold
spiraling in 4 foot wide circles on Lamont
no where to go and no one to call
just a few sheets of paper and my own head to crawl into
i got a full key ring with no open doors
can i crash at your place tonight? I just need a floor
the reminiscing has been killing me
i don't know what burns worse, whiskey or the memories
these streets tell so many stories
i couldn't hope to hear them all
faded memories I still hold close to me
i love waking up to you
i love waking up to you
walking down 18th huddled in the cold
if this city's leaking water then I guess we are the mold
two friends rocking the sinking ship of youth
i'm not distressed as long as I got you
with other people I never know what to say
the relentless sense of sincerity
and security that you give to me
i hope it always stays that way
your eyes tell so many stories
i couldn't hope to hear them all
faded memories I still hold close to me
i love waking up to you
i love waking up to you
she said, "the east coast raised me all bitter longing
and hopeful for a future that's never gonna come
the west coast broke me
i don't know if I know how to be loved."
drunken epiphanies in DC, in Vancouver,
in my parents' house serve to show ourselves what we're really all about
and that we're good and we deserve to be loved
i love waking up to you
i love waking up to you
the east coast raised me all bitter longing
and hopeful for a future that's never gonna come
the west coast broke me
i don't know if I know how to be loved!
the east coast raised me all bitter longing and hopeful
for a future that's never gonna come
the west coast broke me
i don't know if I know how to be loved
and it sounds just like a broken record
east side, west side man whatever.
man whatever
man whatever!
Powerful in every way, this DC hardcore group's first full-length is the siren song to having no home as a person of color—in punk, in society, in America. It could not have arrived at a more appropriate time. Bandcamp Album of the Day Jul 15, 2016
Berkely duo Axe serve up four catchy, heavy synth-punk rippers inspired by campy horror flicks and old-school heavy metal. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 28, 2021
Oakland band Silent Era's sound is a killer mix of classic hardcore and NWOBHM. On their second LP, they're especially urgent and anthemic. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 1, 2020
Three songs from this raucous New Zealand group that prove punk still has teeth and isn’t afraid to lunge and bite. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 31, 2019
Big and fuzzy and full of right angles and off-kilter hooks, there's a lot of '90s DC/Baltimore DIY tradition in this newer DC band. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 26, 2017
