lyrics
This is not the end
But it's not the start
Not if we go forward
Without the heart
You can keep it all
If we ain't gonna starve
But it's the end of us
If we stay apart
What's that you say?
You don't want to share
That's all right by me
You've gotta do what's fair
For yourself, your fairest friends be damned
But I'm so goddamn thirsty
You have a drop to spare?
I don't where I'm going
I haven't drank in days
Kind of feeling real gloomy
About the bed that I've made
It seems so clear to me now
I had a choice but I failed
To see the consequences
Of trust, compassion unveiled
I have learned so much
About the lives we led
Before it all dried up
How it was in our heads
The sense of place
In a community
Now it's plain to see
My only friend is me

I couldn't resist after purchasing their single "Heartbreaker". Maybe the Fleas are onto something here? A new Genre, "Brat Punk", cranky dummy spit, tantrum punk, original & delicious. James .R. Dixon

Oakland band Silent Era's sound is a killer mix of classic hardcore and NWOBHM. On their second LP, they're especially urgent and anthemic. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 1, 2020
Three songs from this raucous New Zealand group that prove punk still has teeth and isn’t afraid to lunge and bite. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 31, 2019
