Youtube if you don't have spotify

Bandcamp if you want to download and can't afford it

Lyrics:

Got shot by police,

no it didn't feel nice

I wonder what's next

"Abolish ICE!",

Yell the people with their fists in the air

Well you win and you lose and you win some

My ears are still ringing from their weapons

Yeah you win and you lose and you win some

And my wounds are still stinging from their weapons

Coming to a neighborhood near you, next to prisons

On the walls of the system, "protect and serve" is written in blood

Awake! (A-C-A-B)

The Devil (A-C-A-B)

At the gates (A-C-A-B)

Of power (A-C-A-B)

Propagate! (A-C-A-B)

It louder (A-C-A-B)

Assimilate (A-C-A-B)

Like thunder...

Fuck the police

The American vice

and I wonder what's next

Make 'em pay the price

Yell the people with their fists in the air

Well you win and you lose and you win some

My ears are still ringing from their weapons

Yeah you win and you lose and you win some

And my wounds are still stinging from their weapons

Propagate (A-C-A-B)

It Louder (A-C-A-B)

Assimilate (A-C-A-B)

Like thunder (A-C-A-B)

Don't wait (A-C-A-B)

The time's come (A-C-A-B)

Resuscitate (A-C-A-B)

In numbers (A-C-A-B)

So break the chains

From the aggressor

And seize the day

Their time's up

Eliminate the oppressor

It's time to pay

In one way or another...

    I had pretty low expectations since it seems like any time I run into people plugging their music on social media it's mediocre but this fucking slaps. Saved and playlisted.

    What the fuck is the point of having a voting system for the quality of content if you don't let people post their content and then allow the voting system to sort the filler from the killer?

    It's absolutely ridiculous to disallow creators to post their own work. Creators and their work should be encouraged, at all levels of quality. The development of the best artists depends upon the support of them when growing their skills.

    Also, this is great.

      i 100% feel the same way. reddit is awful about posting art. “no self promotion” (even in r/listentothis??) but you can post literally any other popular well off artist?? drives me nuts. let people decide if it’s worthy of being on the site or not, jesus.

      thank you so much for your support ❤️

        It's part of a system of things that we sought to oppose in /r/hailcorporate which helped to turn the site into a corporate mainstream hellhole from what was originally a rather niche techie site for high quality techie things and bizarre creator-led communities.

        As any form of social media expands mainstream content creeps in and takes over... In part because mods, especially in volunteer-only communities, do not understand the lifespan and changing conditions of online communities as they grow.

        If you want a community to stay cutting-edge it MUST be creator-led. As soon as it stops being creator-led the creators go somewhere else because they need an audience. What you're left with is whatever people are able to find which is typically going to lean towards the mainstream just based on discoverability.

        Honestly Reddit is just a digitised version of bourgeois democracy. It appears democratic, but through a Kafkaesque bureaucracy, crowds out everything except bourgeois messaging.

        The best example is the handling of ‘politics’. In almost every major sub, there’s a ‘no politics’ rule, with politics interpreted widely to include everything from voting to protests to ideology. In contrast, in the politics subs, ‘politics’ is interpreted so narrowly as to only include matters involving elected officials.

        Similarly, editorialising titles is typically forbidden, and the only acceptable things to post are articles from mainstream hegemonic media. So what could be a really interesting platform becomes just an aggregator of corporate messaging.

    i LOVE it dude! It gives me a Gorillaz vibe but you're more creative on your vocal melodies which is the most important part of a song to me. The last part where you go harder sounds so good. I will definitely be looking out for more stuff from you! ACAB :party-blob:

    This is good. Real chill vibes. For some reason I was expecting some harsh Days N Daze style punk, but this is very listenable. I can put this on with apolitical friends and family around.

    Really appreciate the plethora of links too. Spotify makes it easy to get to.

    Please keep posting your stuff.

      holy shit thank you so much! i can see it being chill since it’s really not a ‘traditional’ punk type beat, maybe more the clash? idk.

      i will definitely keep posting my stuff here if it’s okay with the community here. ❤️
