this was inspired by morristown, tennessee's response to the ICE raids of april 2018. it was recorded just before the raids in mississippi. makes reference to the vital work of never again action
lyrics
came to town with all their guns drawn
came to town again
a factory closed against the dawn
waits for that heavy tread
when we said never again we meant it
most especially not in our names
this rot will break a town wide open
rip children from their parents' arms
all of us are bound together
anyone who's been the Other
lock our arms and keep them safe
tear down every prison wall
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
