So me and my buddy Joe (singer/songer writer) are waiting for like 12 hours outside this kid's house last night so he can finish dinner and take the band to his basement and let us check out his recording gear. We're in my car just bullshitting about this and that: walmart, minimum wage and the cost of living, why religion is dumb, etc. and we eventually start talking about the band.
I ask him about the lyrics for our most recent songs and whether or not he'd like to incorporate some of these ideas. He says he would, and in a way thats not to overbearing - like the band Refused. In retrospect I can't remember which album he told me to listen to, but Songs to Fan the Flames of Discontent will do this post justice.
Rather be Dead rather perfectly explains what Joe was talking about. The song can really be addressing anything wrong with the world and still make you want do something about it. I've been wrapping torn bedsheets around broken table legs so when we hit the streets they'll see us at night. I'm only half joking.
