the viewpoint from contemporary logan square. hellblock and hellblock jr. are those two blocks on milwaukee. you know the ones
lyrics
we rest
like flies
yr neighborhood
it will soon die
bring in all the condos
glass fronts
keep out all of you
you're the blight
i was taught to ignore
blue line
start fights
i've gotta get there first
it's my right
vape stores
all down
the block where the clinic was
it attracted the wrong sort
i can't control my life
so i'll drink until i cry
you make less than me, right?
so displacing you's just fine
neon in the windows
sports bars
let rideshare plebes
drive the cars
i've got my e-scooter
for the night
call the cops on brown kids
but i can make noise
no empathy
get mine
drive up all the rents
it's just fine
still no grocery here
but we've got two targets now! you can thank me for that!
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
