for eddie ellis and all incarcerated/formerly incarcerated freedom fighters
lyrics
eddie said you have to think of us as people
we are not defined by our sentences
humanity denied by the system at every turn
keep riding! keep riding! until the wheels fall off!
captive workforce makes so many things
they can’t use themselves
labor for nothing
jpay extortion
just to hear a word of love
now and again
keep riding! keep riding! until the wheels fall off!
for eddie, for stevie, for cece, for bresha
for everyone who’s been caged or is caged
for all who refuse the state’s brutality
we will not let it crush our hearts
a small thing can open up big worlds
a small thing can open up big worlds
a small thing
A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!! smiledozer
Knockout debut from a Buffalo, New York-based hardcore band who like their riffs sick, their drums fast, and their choruses sticky-sweet. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 28, 2024
