there’s mornings when i wonder why i carry on. been rehearsing for retirement since the day i first drew breath. i rub my eyes and wonder where those years have gone, when every single step i take feels like a step closer to death. and we’re trying to keep hope when everything’s so hopeless, believing in the sunshine though this life is cold and grey. try not lose heart when all the world’s so heartless, and working for tomorrow, never giving up today. is it worth the effort just to raise your voice, when we’ve seen to many martyrs and there’s be more yet to come. in the end it comes down to a simple choice. do we struggle to get smarter or sit back content and dumb? we’ll keep singing till there are no more songs. write the words of warning though we cannot right the wrongs. try not to lose hope when everything’s so hopeless, believing in the sunshine though this life is cold and grey. try not lose heart when all the world’s so heartless. let’s play another record, its a phil ochskind of 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
