lyrics

Distress call to anybody listening
The seas are rising soon we’ll all be history
If we’re not first swallowed by society, this human virus will die without the cure we need

Consumed with opinion and our selfish pride
Let’s look in the mirror to see it eye to eye
It’s not too late to push the politics aside
We’ll set that fire tonight

Because you’re calling them rats
So the rats are coming
Ya you’re calling them rats
So the rats are coming
You’re calling them rats, so the rats are coming for you

The signal’s coming in clear from the underground
Voices of so many lost have finally found their sound
It’s just a matter of time to light this spark we found
These walls built on fear will now, now are coming down

If you’ve lost your faith in our humanity just know the truth is in the air we breathe

That breath is the same as the man next to me
It’s time to put in to action what we believe

I say we’re going up in flames
How did we get to this point in the world today
Headlines getting darker each and every day
It’s not a surprise that it all

Tied together by fear when we look outside
Landscape of hate right before our eyes
Don’t break bread, stand up and organize
Let’s make our move tonight

hardcore punk, jazz, alien themes, kind of all my jams wrapped into a tight package. Intense, freaky, lean runtime but feels dense especially being sectioned into essentially 4 parts. Easily one of the best punk records of the decade so far. Also that drumming...holy shit alienasu

Coriky

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
