we hold these truths to be self-evident







Talked to my friend Mikey from high school about our friends who had so much potential and then sacrificed their beliefs, morals and minds for a stab at stability. They've flipped a switch in their brains just to survive. How long can you think critically and not act before you just turn off your give a fuck meter? Don't ever fucking settle. Get a cat or something.

why do all the boys just pass you by?



The Shower Scene From Psycho were a post-punk band from the 80s Melbourne, AUS "Little Band" scene. Imagine lots of amateurs with funny electronics, keyboards & drum machines, most of which had never touched a musical instrument before. A lot of the bands only played a couple shows, with new bands being formed rapidly & super incestuously with members shifting to instruments they'd never touched before. It was twee and punk as fuck. This band reminds me a lot of the Cardiacs, if Kurt from Glee was their singer. Feedback Jack really rips up the guitar on this track, which is a cover of the 60s band The Seekers, who were also from Melbourne and the first Australian band to chart in the US & UK.
