From a blow
Delivered, a crack in his skull
A sounding alarm
Loud and distinct is the call
Treble and hiss
Piercing cognition
A terrible turn
To his condition
No hope
No words or vision
A fantasy world
A fantastic mission
Dangling, jaws
Snap at his kicks in mid-air
Losing his grip
On what doesn't exist.
In the shell,
Is the child: half-aware
A husk of the brute
Stripped of his youth
Raised as a mute
Defaulting to fool
As he grew
Stepped in a pool
Full of wine and piss
It doesn't tear me up like I want
But I never thought it would get to me like it did.
A foot is kicking through
A jagged window view
A healing hand of trust
A transformation.
Man, it's hard to select a song as a standout on such a solid release. I feel like this album could pick up where Black Flag's In My Head left off. Jameson Calantoc
A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!! smiledozer
Probably the best way to open a Wild Powwers album. It's short, sweet, it builds, it's energetic. The opening salvo of lyrics sets the tone for the whole album. Jameson Calantoc
The first new album in 30 years from these noise rock pioneers, featuring the iconic Thalia Zedek, positively rips. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 12, 2019
this piece is huge by no mistake! mixing all of the greatest noise inspirations into truely fucking universal composition beast of an album. guitar work is simply exquisite. no less are vocals and drums here. check those guys before they get this much famous that you won't be no more able to ! memek666
