Walking streets late at night
And the tribes are walking
Subcultures well defined
And the tribes are separate
“Join our club! Join our gang!”
Say the cool conformists
Uniforms bought and sold
Buy identity but…
My eyes don’t contact
My feet can’t contact
My words won’t contact
Counter culture in my heart
T-Shirts don’t shout loud enough
Buying identity is just not enough
Show the authority that you’ve got
This is Counter, it is not sub-
Counter-culture, not sub-culture!
There’s no business like show business
A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!! smiledozer
A record so nice, I bought it twice. I haven't stopped listening to "Book Of Curses" digitally since it came out in November. So when Bandcamp Friday came around and I saw a few copies of the limited edition were left, it was time to buy it physically. A perfect, contemporary encapsulation of where the four members came from before, and where they'll take music going forward. Here's to hoping they make it to the States when this whole pandemic thing gets sorted out. Ape Mummy
This Seattle 3-piece blast out their frisky punk LP via Kill Rock Stars. You might want to avoid their couch, though. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 16, 2015
This Baltimore group rough up post-punk with dark post-hardcore riffs and chaotic choruses, never losing a fine-tuned sense of melody. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 13, 2024
