Something Old Something New

JimmyD Refreshing. Something old, new and fucking good! Dominator has the tribal leanings of Killing Joke and the lyrical sparsity of Pink Flag era Wire. Russ Bestley's vocals are like a mix of Jaz Coleman and Bob Mould, which is showcased on Underground, which is Husker Du-esque! Republic returns to a Killing Joke style with some incredible drumming from 'Big' Paul Luce that would give Ferguson and Dale Crover a run for their money. Original punk. Up Pompey! Favorite track: Republic.

Dominator 05:15
Entropy = Inertia Potential = Disaster Too Little = Too Late Dominator = Dominate Apathy = Inaction Brutality = Reaction Dogs Howl = Too Late Dominator = Dominate

Underground 03:43
Something old – something new Something borrowed and something blue Something lost – something found Something buried – underground Where I was lost And she was found Bury it deep Bury it deep where it can’t be found

And when I die I will be waiting here for you And if you try I will make all your dreams come true Don’t ever lie to me My words will always follow you And when you die I will paint a picture of you And I will smile I’ve waited all my life for this And all the while You were just looking for a kiss I said I’d try You said just come to bed Well I just smiled No one loves you when you’re dead And when I die I will be waiting here for you And if you try A thousand wishes will come true Don’t ever lie to me My words will always follow you And when you die I will paint a picture of you

Republic 04:24
Meritocratic = Simplistic Ecstatic = Idealistic Apolitical, losing the will to Fight the power when the subject needs to Object to all that rhetoric Propaganda to fool the public Fetch the medic! Anaesthetic! Working for the new Republic Birthright = Atone No feelings left alone Neglect to show respect Use your privilege to select No monarchy no subject No church no state no land Once private now public Working for the new Republic Peace time = More willful Expectant and sinful Still caustic and critical Regain the right of the individual No monarchy no subject Their privilege be damned Once private now public Working for the new Republic

WYD 04:07
You’re standing on the inside looking at the sky To watch the sun go down I’m standing on the outside waiting for a chance To watch you drown
