Swamp Thing - Demo 2006

I know, Swamp Thing are not really an unknown band, but their demo is pretty underrated/unknown. That's a shame because it's my favorite release from them. If you ask me, they dimished a little more (musically and lyrically) with every new record they've put out . I wish progression would have skipped them over!
I was 16 (or maybe had just turned 17?) when I first heard them and it immediately blew me away. The anger, the speed, the passion and above all, the lyrics. They were just as pissed off at the world as I was.

Too pissed off and I don’t know why
Too stressed out I could almost die
Parents expecting too much of me
I’m not a fucking trophy just leave me be
I’ll never wear a shirt and tie
The Bush administration I will not buy
So fuck your van and your soccer team
I’ll never make it alone in the county
I’m sorry mom, I’m sorry dad
For whatever future you thought I had
College, Eagle Scout, what the fuck?
Stress cracks are forming, and not from my trucks
One more thing and I’ll lose my mind
Eighteen is coming up and I can’t stop time
Not too long before I’m told to move on
Eighteen is coming up and I’m barely holding on.
Will not live life in a cube
Will not wear the corporate noose
Will not achieve your dreams.
Your dreams are just as fucked as mine

Sectarian Violence - Conflict Of Interest

  

If you don't know who Sectarian Violence are by now you're really missing out. Scroll down this blog a bit and you'll find a post which tells you a little more about this band. 

This is their newest recording which was available on tape on their recent European Tour and from CTW Records. I think there are still some left at CTW Bigcartel, so if you don't already own it, go and buy a copie. It's limited to 150, I think, but it will be released on an other format sometime in the future. The second download link is the S/T EP again but this time it's not a rip from the 7", but the actual mp3's with good quality. You can still buy the 7" from Grave Mistake Records. If you like it, buy it to support the band and the label! If you live in the US, make sure to catch SxV on tour with Poison Planet in June. Here are the dates:

Mon June 4 – Richmond, VA (SXV only)
Tues June 5 – Raleigh, NC (SXV only)
