lyrics
SHAKY CASTLES
Well the bricks will be hard enough
where the targets are far too easy
Are you home?
In your shaky castle?
Where the gates climb high
but we climb higher still
You're not the paranoid type
You don't believe that we can find you
...but we will
Are you at work?
In your lofty penthouse?
What you don't know
is you are on a cliff
This won't subside
Can you build walls high enough?
Are your walls strong enough?
Perceptions of security
...you won't be safe
You made the whole world
into the third world
You are not faceless now
we know your names
You're all just animals
Soft, furless animals like we
...but we are many
Well the bricks will be hard enough
where the targets are far too easy
Are you home?
In your shaky castle?
Where the gates climb high
but we climb higher still
You're not the paranoid type
You don't believe that we can find you
...but we will
Are you at work?
In your lofty penthouse?
What you don't know
is you are on a cliff
This won't subside
Can you build walls high enough?
Are your walls strong enough?
Perceptions of security
...you won't be safe
You made the whole world
into the third world
You are not faceless now
we know your names
You're all just animals
Soft, furless animals like we
...but we are many

more raw version of All Dogs in my opinion. I think this album is the one to buy if you had to choose between All Dog albums.

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!!

Guitars so jagged you could cut yourself on them and sneering spoken/sung lyrics make “Red Dirt” a post-punk powerhouse.

On their ferocious self-titled debut, the Australian punks pit d-beat percussion against gnarled, metallic melodies.

Every single one of these songs are so catchy/memorable/make you feel complex while also simple emotions and on top of all this, sounds fucking great! I love Wrong Side/Smile When They Come to Take You Away/Never Gonna Stop/Back to The Store are my favorites but all these are amazing so give them all a listen!
