Death to Humanity

I’m a rabbit confused and scared
They’re testing cosmetics for your hair
My eyes are red and sore from the spray
I can’t wipe the pain away
I’m locked up inside my box
They forced me to accept the knocks
My thoughts fall through, I’m aghast
As I try to recall the past
I’m a little dog with a hole in my head
I really would be better off dead
Electrode sticks out like a horn
It’s been there since I was born
Must be the cause for my lack of brain
Repeated shocks have rendered me insane
Why do humans cause me harm?
I still remember life on the farm
I was in a circus doing tricks
Now I sit here waiting for my fix
They really made a monkey out of me
Now I’m a bestial junkie
Where’s the man he’s running late?
Sounds in my head reverberate
I so hope it must be close
To my final overdose
If we could get out of our cages
History we’ll rewrite the pages
We will group together and sing
So everybody’s ears will ring
Death to all humanity
You’ll pay for what you did to me
In that laboratory
In that laboratory

Bottled Oi

Seen it before, all the mindless violence
Crowds at gigs scared into silence
Provocative stares and nazi salutes
Turned up jeans and steel-capped boots
Now you can get it to take away
Bottled oi
Buy it down your local pub
Bottled oi
Don’t even have to step out of doors
Take off the cap and out it pours
Bottled oi
Bottled oi
Keep it to yourself or share it around
Breaking bones make such a good sound
If you’re bored then you’re in luck
Take off the top and have a ruck
You can practice your seig heils
With bottled oi
Stack the injured into piles
With bottled oi
You can have Bushell in your front room
While you wait for nuclear doom
With bottled oi
Bottled oi
Bottled oi!

Nations saw it coming the signs were there
Nobody listened, nobody cared
People demonstrated again and again
Every warning was all in vain
Sirens rang out the outcome was clear
Death and destruction were drawing near
Mankind destroyed with nuclear know-how
Wasted lives, no tears to flow
Try to get home, run for your life
A few may live but millions will die
Pushing and jostling, all wasted time
As the bombs drop slowly from the sky
Blinding light makes the eyes go blank
Split second later, shock wave attack
Flesh in the street laying burnt and scarred
Millions massacred no time to laugh
Show of strength that went too far
Superpowers overstepped the mark
Declared in a minute and finished in five
Ordinary people suffered with their lives
Nations saw it coming the signs were there
Nobody listened, nobody cared
People demonstrated again and again
Every warning was all in vain
Show of strength that went too far
Superpowers overstepped the mark
Declared in a minute and finished in five
Ordinary people suffered with their lives

Here all day pressing a button
Clock ticks slowly towards five
Planning what I’ll do tonight
Is barely keeping me alive
Fluorescent lights above my head
Keeping me awake
Thank goodness it’s nearly time
For afternoon tea break
Living for the weekend
Is such a fucking bore
If only I could get out of
This eight to five sweat store
The noise of the machinery
Pounding through my brain
If it goes on much longer
It’ll drive me insane
The boss peers o’er my shoulder
Checks on me all the time
I’m just counting off the minutes
Until the time is mine
Living for the weekend
Is such a fucking bore
If only I could get out of
This eight to five sweat store

Riot/Clone London, UK
Formed in 1979, Riot/Clone have had many different line ups over the years with the only constant being singer Dave
Floyd.
They have released five EPs and four albums in that time, with another due for release 2020.
Mostly linked with the anarchopunk scene and in particular animal rights, Riot/Clone aren't for everyone, but if you like angry lyrics with catchy tunes they might be up your street!

One of my favorite punk records. I don't think it's possible to write guitar riffs that are a better aural equivalent to a middle finger

Radical thought and practice from one of the most consequential punk bands today.

Heavenly Rhythms for the Uninitiated

Beautifully moody art rock from Virginia that recalls the dark glory of bands like Echo & the Bunnymen and Psychedelic Furs.

Dead Cross, Retox, and Qui members dish out subversive hardcore with an indignant smirk; come for the riffs, stay for the synth experiments.
