A life spent in lonely churches,
Moving towns to where the work is,
Rustling coats in worn halls,
Routines passed on from dead souls,
Industrial skylines and work clothes,
Cities lost without a purpose,
An extra jumper, when the weather turns,
When your body gives you diminishing returns,
And if this is god’s plan
Take the sand from my shaking hands,
And if this is what we got,
Well I’m pretty sure he’s drinking on the job

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

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

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

"you don't get to tell me oh it ain't so bad" -this line is empowering for me. hope to here more classic punk guitar riffs in the future as in "we drive forever like it's nothing" fartintheelevator
