Respite. The war is over. Count up your casualties
Broken. The hearts of men. Weakened and diminished
Surrender or acquiesce to certain prostitution
The silent procession of doomed souls
Through the wilderness of a concrete wasteland
Strewn with corpses, of dearly held convictions
The voice of mockery echoes off the hills
Fallen idols
Disfigured beauty
Corrupted ideologues
Dreams of vast horizons
Lie trampled in the dust
This is the way it ends
This is the only way it could be
Such ambitious dreams
Must be crushed beneath their feet

Bodega joyfully celebrate the history of underground rock music with tunes exemplifying the best of college rock to jangle to indie. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 12, 2024
The Australian punks return with another round of turbo-charged riffs and debauched themes; crack open a cold one and get ready to mosh. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 10, 2024
The Minneapolis band add a horn section, a running surrealist allegory about walls, and an occasional nod to the elegiac to their electroshocked post-punk. Bandcamp Album of the Day Mar 4, 2024
