I USED TO BELIEVE IN THE SCENE
IN BONDS OF BROTHERHOOD AND UNITY
UNTIL THEY TOLD ME WHAT TO DO
HOW TO THINK AND WHO TO BE
I’D RATHER BE ALL ALONE
THAN BOW BEFORE YOUR GOLDEN THRONE
I WON’T FIGHT FOR YOUR CAUSE
OR HELP TO IMPOSE YOUR BULLSHIT LAWS
I WON’T SEEK ACCEPTANCE AMONGST THE FOOLS
MY LIFE MY LIFE MY LIFE MY RULES
I DON’T NEED YOUR VALIDATION
STANDING HARD ON MY OWN FOUNDATION
YOU’RE ALWAYS SHAKING HANDS AND PLAYING NICE
YOU’VE GOT MORE FACES THAN A PAIR OF SIX-SIDED DICE
YOUR DOGMA DOESN’T MEAN SHIT TO ME
MY VIEW OF THE WORLD, IT’S BEEN SET FREE
DISCOVER, EXPLORE, AND FINDING MY OWN WAY
NO LONGER TRAPPED IN A PATTERN OF DECAY
One of the most well-respected straight-edge hardcore bands ever to come out of the DC scene. Connor is quite a talented hardcore musician, playing vocals for Protester, playing drums for DC crossover thrashers Red Death, and also playing very awesome on guitar for these guys from Line of Sight. They've also put out a 7-inch EP on Youngblood Records called Dissent that I've been wanting to get my hands on so bad, in case you guys haven't heard. tjjaxx4625
Northeast straight-edge hardcore taken to the cathartic, infectious extreme; a fiery EP fueled by spite, spirit, and sick riffs. Bandcamp New & Notable May 24, 2023
