Another Day 02:04
Always vigilant Always right in it Always more than ready to respond Marching in the streets Fighting in the tweets But ask yourself how long can this go on You can't deny it's taking a toll Don't forget to fuel your soul Always turning out Now you're burning out And it's only going to get worse Remove from the instance Give yourself some distance Catch your breath before you reimmerse Don't forget to fuel your soul Remember what you're fighting for The right to live your life So take time to live your life And live to fight another day Check out some bands Party with your friends Put your laptop and phone away Go for a hike With someone you like Feel the warm sun on your face Now that you rested You can reinvest in The causes that you believe in The struggle continues The needle it moves When you are renewed Remember what you're fighting for Take care so you can fight some more For the right to live your life Take time to live your life And live to fight another day

America Is 02:04
We are nihilists in denial Always right and always violent An iron fist wielded by a child Wrapped in the symbols we defiled We are the stupid and entitled We are America unbridled We are the parasites of greed We are the absence of empathy We privatized democracy And weaponized hypocrisy We are the stupid and aggrieved We are America deceived America! America! America! America! The empire has fallen The experiment has failed We are the loudly uninformed The manipulated vacant swarm Defending what we should abhor We are the comfortably conformed We are The stupid and deplored We are America unshored America! America! America! America! America! America! America! America!

about

Before moving forward into the post-punk and math rock sound of this fall's full length sophomore release, the Beltalowda boys pause to look back and pay tribute to the old school skate punk and oi sound that helped shape their adolescent years.

"Another Day" is a call for self-care in troubled times while "America Is" examines the national identity of a country in denial. One side for the optimist in you, the other side for the realist. Something for everyone!

All proceeds of this Digital 7" will be donated to the Trans Women of Color Collective. You can learn more about their work at www.twocc.us
