Desperation, NC is a fictitious place that represents the shithole small towns that Matt and I grew up in.
lyrics
Growing up in Desperation
you watch things wither
and you watch them die
so you get out or they
make sure you die trying
you climb the mountain
or you toe the line.
You look around
and they offer no solutions
but they'll tell you that it's
greener on the other side
There's no progress
there's no evolution
but they'll tell you
that it's greener on the other side
Growing out of Desperation
you choose to hang
or you learn to climb.

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
The Minneapolis band add a horn section, a running surrealist allegory about walls, and an occasional nod to the elegiac to their electroshocked post-punk. Bandcamp Album of the Day Mar 4, 2024
