I can’t sleep, not at all
When did we get so old?
I can’t sleep, not at all,
When did we get so old?
I keep feeling down
I can’t see your face when I think of your name
And the pills that numb the pain, draw the blood from my veins
And the rats under your feet, nest their beds in the bones,
Like the anxiety that occupies your body, rent free
And the words don’t come easy, like they did when you were young
Now weight of the world gets lost to the doldrums
I keep feeling down
I can’t see your face when I think of your name
And the pills that numb the pain, draw the blood from my veins
Front to back, the music is catchy, powerful, rocking, and raw, and go hand-in-hand with Iona's lyrics which could only be described with the same words. Brilliant! tommytulip
Took a few listens to catch me but when it did, whew. Takes me back to the days of 90s emo but with lyricism that goes so far beyond. The breadth of musical styles on display, the breadth of subjects covered, adds up to a towering, humanistic work. Few bands can be so hook-averse yet so packed with creativity, and there's at least one vocal moment on every single track that blows me away. I can't imagine this not winding up being the best punk album of '21. PaintedDogs
at this age reminded me of the naive optimism of high school. dent is more like the college student who tries to remain optimistic in the face of a world that contradicts itself at every turn. fartintheelevator

Taking cues from Midwestern emo and early ’10 pop punk, this Leeds, UK outfit are full of heart— not to mention hooks. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 21, 2022
