about

Very excited to release my first ever solo one-man band DIY recording!
With the exception of the gang vocals (supported by Austen of Joker's Republic and Keith from Public Serpents), all parts are performed by me. The entire recording was created from start to finish inside Weilhouse Productions, NJ.

This track goes out to their drummer, Pat Thetic. When I was fortunate to open for Anti-Flag a few years ago at Starland, he demanded that my kit be placed on the riser where his would be as opposed to directly in front of it, where the local band kit is usually placed. He told me “You guys should have the opportunity to rock as hard as everyone else here,” and I’ll never forget it. I hope I did the track justice!

lyrics

Whoa oh Whoa oh
Whoa oh Whoa oh

I woke up sweat soaked in the morning
I was mourning freedom buried deep
Mourning freedom buried deep
In tickers and broadcasts through power lines
Freedom buried in sound bites, buried in headlines
And we sing

Whoa oh Whoa oh
Whoa oh Whoa oh

A nation in fervor has given up
No, no, no, this fight has just begun
With movements and revolutions as few and far between
As movements and revolutions will ever come to be

This scare is blood soaked red
I marked down the last words that you said, as we watched this city

Whoa oh Whoa oh
Watch it burn!
Whoa oh Whoa oh
Alright!

It's beaten in and beaten in
We're coming back around again
It's beaten in and beaten in
We're coming back around again

This scare is blood soaked red
I marked down the last words that you said, as we watched this city

Fall and hit the ground
No one can ever replace what we've lost now
Fall and hit the ground
No one can ever replace what we've lost now, yeah!

We're coming back around
Whoa oh Whoa oh
We're coming back around
Whoa oh Whoa oh
We're coming back around
Whoa oh Whoa oh
We're coming back around
Whoa oh Whoa oh
We're coming back around
Whoa oh Whoa oh
We're coming back around
Whoa oh Whoa oh
We're coming back around
Whoa oh Whoa oh
We're coming back around
