I know it's hard to reside in a place you are constantly shit upon. Day after day they're always chipping away. Screaming at a wall, they force you to break. And that's what it's like when the weight comes crashing down. A hole in the ground, it's awaiting you. A scared kid in the night, always shaking you. Try to comfort you, put their faith in you. An altercation and they kick down the door to your room. That's just the way of the world. Feel like you're better off dead. As you crawl through the wreckage, wounded barely alive. Never once taught to survive. That's just the way of world, things that are better unsaid. That's just the way of the world bearing right down on your head. A glimmer of hope and it's snuffed out like a lamp.
A friend with a reliably fine musical taste posted this album on FB and I wasn't disappointed. Love the guitar sound and the passionate vocals (melodic enough to not pass as screamo or whatever). Punk rock spirit yet with a lot of dynamics (definitely a yes to the Dischord reference) and compact songs that won't leave your head for a long time. Many many
great tunes on here but for the moment USMA and Lay Low have to be my favorites! Great band, very happy to have found them! perpendikel
Dead Cross, Retox, and Qui members dish out subversive hardcore with an indignant smirk; come for the riffs, stay for the synth experiments. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 31, 2024
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
A perfect punk album. What always amazes me is that it's littered with melodies and lyrics good enough on their own to build an entire song around, but Captain We're Sinking has so many great ideas, they don't need to stretch any single one beyond its welcome. This will have you coming back over and over again. John Martin
