Big trees, big skies,
big streets, big lights
Big plans, big prize,
big words, big ties
Why do they say I’m strong,
I’m not strong
I’m sick of feeling beat
Why do they say I’m kind,
I’m not kind
I’m terrified of hate
Why do they say I’ve lost,
I haven’t lost
As much as I have gained
They tell me all the time,
to keep up
You gotta stay in the game
But it’s not theirs to tell
They’ll tell you what to do
But you’ve gotta work
it out for yourself
They’ll tell you what to say
There’s no way,
you gotta go along with it all
They’ll tell you how to lose
And you know,
you’re gonna lose some after all
But every day is new
And there’s a way,
to rise if you should fall
But it’s not theirs to tell
Big trees, big lights,
big talk, big fight
Big deal, big price,
big need, big cries
Big heart, big highs,
big loss, big lines
Big trust, big time,
big fall, big rise
Opener absolutely rips. Falls into the ranks of tracks like “Dance” by ESG, “Eisbaer” by Grauzone, “Damaged Goods” by Gang of Four or like the album description says Kleenex. This is some really good stuff. Favorite song is the opener but dedicate “Blue” to my friend Blue who lost her life at 22, she would have loved this album. TheBloodofChrist
Knockout debut from a Buffalo, New York-based hardcore band who like their riffs sick, their drums fast, and their choruses sticky-sweet. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 28, 2024
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
