lyrics
All these laws put in place are lies to keep a line
between those who challenge and
the power to control every penny every dime every human life
every opportunity to break out of this fucking cycle
that keeps beating down those who don’t possess
the identity you want in command
What the fuck are we gonna do to end this discrimination
How do we erase this redline and give true liberation
Division selection separation
Mass incarceration of all
This entire album rips. I've had this on repeated play several times since it came out. I wish I had heard it a week earlier when they played in Boston. One of my fav albums in this genre period. slimes
Knockout debut from a Buffalo, New York-based hardcore band who like their riffs sick, their drums fast, and their choruses sticky-sweet. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 28, 2024
Wonderful dramatic opening, the voice of a black woman in all her honesty, vulnerability and openess. And then one of the fiercest tracks of Zulu, total hardcore: 'Now they are through with me', full of twists and turns, and suddenly ending in a kind of soul-track, brilliant! This is 21st century music at it's best. The end lecture is dramatic and disturbing, spoken again by a black woman. Makes you think. Hesperus
