    “I’ve been waiting for this record to come out for years, ever since I saw this band open for The Casket Lottery reunion show in San Diego. The album is exactly what I hoped it would be—an irreverent collection straddling the “post” of “post-hardcore.” Songs like “Enter Skramz Band” are what At The Drive-In probably would have sounded like if they hadn’t veered into a more commercial direction (no judgment, that shit was tight too). That clean edge dissipates at times to bring out some more chaotic and urgent Ten Grand-like shapes. Overall, this is one of the best new records I’ve heard in years. If this band breaks up instead of making new music, I will riot.” –Theresa W.

CREEPER IN THE WINGS I get around on a wooden peg leg I’m always trying to find an exit Pass the golden calf, keep the gods happy Take me out back, let the dogs have me I’ve seen Shane shoot I’ve seen lesser lights I’ve seen lesser lights dance I’ve seen lesser lights I’ve seen lesser lights dance Dance under the Fascist Retina Dance under the Fascist Retina I’ve seen Shane I’m a fuckwad, I don’t try to fight it I wanna sing it into a nightstick I’m a hound-dog, I don’t try to hide it I wanna sing it into a night stick Pass the golden calf, keep the gods happy Take me out back, let the dogs have me Pass the laughing gas, that’d be outstanding Take me out back, let the hounds have me I’ve seen Shane shoot I’ve seen lesser lights I’ve seen lesser lights dance I’ve seen lesser lights I’ve seen lesser lights dance Dance under the Fascist Retina Dance under the Fascist Retina I’ve seen lesser lights I’ve seen lesser lights dance I’ve seen Shane I’ve seen Shane shoot Fire from his mouth I had a rock band I turned it inside out I’ve seen Shane shoot I’ve seen lesser lights Dance under the Fascist Retina I’ve seen lesser lights Dance under the Fascist Retina

PLUCKED FROM THE EARTH Got embezzled at the bank Get a hundredth of a percent of what I made I gotta keep the change Cause every quarter pennies shorter, they’re shaving flakes They’re taking cuts They’re making a cut I'm tired of shooting straight I’ll twist the plot, give the scenery a change I'll set the forest ablaze I'll hit the mark with an arrow engulfed in flames They’re taking cuts They’re making a cut What things may come to be plucked like a fungus from the Earth We too may come to be plucked like a fungus from the Earth They’re taking cuts They’re making a cut I’m taking cuts I’m making a cut

HEADS ON STICKS We are bookkeepers We travel the domain We’re true believers We notice missing grain The trains ain’t coming To save your greedy clan Best get to running or we’ll bum-rush you right where you stand Puffin’ on Contraband We have a teacher A book to guide our hand A fearless leader We preach across the land The trains ain’t coming To take your party home Get gas and gun it through the heat, secret police’s zone Bumpin’ To Each His Own Aw here it comes Aw here it comes The trains ain’t coming We put you on the map So use your cunning or become another on the stack Hope you’re all good with that You all got waylaid We peacefully beat on Pray or say “Mayday!” Just like you’re Mao Zedong Those trains won’t save you You people made your choice Bulldozers pave you make a way through all that’s un-destroyed Sorry about the noise Sorry about the noise We came We saw We stayed We stayed We stayed Racist, Rich Heads on Sticks
