The ‘you’ in this song is a real person
Not just some abstract figment of an overactive imagination
A documentation of scars from an old home
Innumerable cuts, all too close to the bone
You exiled two sons to be lord of your manor
Rearranging home furnishings to in some way placate your anger
A nameless kind of fury at some invisible population
All of whom you hold responsible for your current shit situation
And I know that when you hear this you’ll want to retaliate and attack
Well go shout at the cats, mate
- They don’t answer back
You hit my brother
Because he saw straight through
All of your bullshit and bluster
I think it scares you that he’s not scared of you
Now your wife’s working weekends to pay for your mistakes
That and to ensure when he’s at home her second born is safe
And I can’t help but wonder why she doesn’t up and leave
I guess that must be the kind of dependency that abusive relationships breed
You hit my brother
Because he saw straight through
All of your bullshit and bluster
I think it scares you that he’s not scared
But as for our mother
Sadly I don’t think that’s true
If you really loved her
You would have never put her through the things that you’ve put her through

Love the metal tracks on this album, but also lots of other sonic explorations. Static electricity, East West Link also fantastic. Thanks to KGLW for this! Michael B
Across their second full-length, the London post-punks offer up thrumming motoriks, industrial tones, and sullen sing-a-longs in abundance. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 17, 2024
The soaring arcs of post-rock, the punchy rhythms of post-hardcore, and the jagged lines of post-punk all join on the latest from Aversions. Bandcamp New & Notable May 2, 2023
Noisy Siberian post-punk with mathcore's sense of inventive tempo and vocals that nearly howl with urgent insistence. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 27, 2023
Exceptional punk music! I love sloppy punk, but this manages to be clean without without losing any energy at all (maybe even getting more of it in the process!). Can't recommend it enough and show them to everyone I know zacharypinkham
