from Wait,
released September 13, 2019
first you’re born into a world with no room for you, then you’re schooled in austerity. flee the fear of disgrace and destitution. chase the mirage of prosperity. you wanna count for something but you’re counting backwards and in the end you’re left with fucking nowt. you wanna count on something but the only thing you’re really sure of is your own self-doubt. get a job and you’ll keep it if you’re lucky, make enough to keep the wolves at bay. find a place and cling on for all your life’s worth: a well-earned rest on your dying day.
Gabby - This album is so awesome. I saw them play a Instagram live show at the beginning of lockdown (because this is life now) and they were great. This record has been on repeat for me since then. Pardon Us
Alex - These are a clearly a group of great musicians who are always looking to mix things up, and this record really does justice to the fury they bring to their live shows Pardon Us
Morgan - My most-listened-to album of the year so far, and proof that pop-punk can still be exciting, innovative, surprising and relevant in 2020. Pardon Us

Well I first listened to this a couple of times on a quiet Sunday afternoon and it really took hold - Emotionally charged songs that resonate with killer riffs that tip a hat to HDQ and Leatherface.. A real gem of a second album that will stay in my top playlist for a while! Dave Miller
