lyrics

Four white male no marks
All dressed up for glory
Feather cuts and postures
With a very bland story

Its music as a career choice
Supported by a trust fund
Its fine-tuned banality
The liberty of the privileged

Reproduce the reproduction
Reinforcing ‘life as it is’
Familiar sounds and images
Conceal what it really is

A cover band ticking boxes jumping through
Hoops that are set by the industry
Suffocated by an art form and
And the blueprints from its history

4 Chords and no offence
A fake attitude and confidence
Worked on with the label, who are
Concerned to hide their affluence

With lyrics that allude to nothing
And a self-conscious delivery
The proof is in the pudding
It’s a band that trades on mimickery

Familiar sounds of the 60’s
A bit of post punk a bit of psych
But when the market shifts
They’re reshaped to be more alike

Its orchestrated entertainment
Mass produced for profit
Supporting an ideology
Of produce consume then drop it

So know we living in reruns
Where PR teams make magic
Based on market research
Like a science so very tragic

Be absorbed or be excluded
It’s not art but entertainment
It’s a mass indoctrination
We are cheated on engagement

Y’know what I’ve had enough of this avant-garde shit

All the tracks are great but Stepper is the standout for me! pounding syncopated kicks, rolling handdrums and playful sample work, dancefloor destroyer. Jack G.
