about

This is an aggressive style of music. But that doesn’t mean that it has to go hand in hand with violent dancing or hateful and nihilistic attitudes. Anger can be a constructive energy - one that is disgusted by the injustices of the world and seeks to do something about them. That sense of protest has always been at the cornerstone of this music scene.
Yet all too often people come along and get involved who just don’t get it. They’re attracted by the brutality and the aggression alone, and are fuelled only by negative and cynical thoughts. They poison the atmosphere at gigs by using them as a platform to strut their macho stuff, or form bands which spew out nothing but bile.
We’re trying to do our bit, no matter how small, to create a better world. If we all did the same, rather than wallowing in bitterness and negativity, then we might start to see real change.

lyrics

Like a magnet we attract them - tough guys looking for a stage on which to play their hard-man role and vent their undirected rage. A hatred of mankind that doesn’t impress me one bit - it’s just a clever way of saying that you don’t give a shit. Hate core? Fuck that! That’s not what I’m about. Misanthropy and nihilism aren’t the reasons why I shout. I want to protest against injustice and the things I feel are wrong. Ultimately, love and anger are the reasons for this song.
