somebody called us out for using transmisogynistic and ableist lyrics in this song, at the start of the 3rd verse. It has been triggering to people and has hurt people who have followed our music, hoping for something better than this. Although it was never my intent to use such offensive and exclusive words, this is the case nonetheless and i am deeply ashamed and sorry. So i want to make an apology to anyone who has been triggered or hurt by these words, to anyone who feels let down by us as your friends or as a band. Privileges are privileges no matter how hard we try to combat hierarchies and learned behaviour, and for someone who tries to do this, i still didnt recognise fully the consequence of these lyrics. At the time i wrote this song out of concentrated anger towards the actions of cis men and didn't consider elaborating on the point i was trying to make if you are sharing our music, please take the time to remind people of the content and let people decide if they still want to listen. Its our responsbility to educate ourselves on how to practice non-hierarchal and non-oppressive ways of doing things, no one elses. However, i want to encourage people to call us out on shitty things if it happens. thanks to the original poster for doing this i have marked the shitty verse with /// Also C/W Rape and sexual abuse There was a time when i believed that men could have their hold on me that they could click their fingers and i would be the one to please that my decisions would be stained with all the things they had to say i couldnt leave my house my room without them standing in my way but in the years to come i"d find out all these ways to smash them down to free myself of all the bullshit that i had built my life around but still to this day i'm terrified of what you can do to me and this fear consumes me whether im awake or asleep im aware of the restrictions that you have on my life and if i defend myself with my fist or my knife then you are there in the courtroom waiting to see me cry well i am going to fucking cry! so this year i found out that pretty much most of my friends have been raped or abused in the dirty hands of cis men that everything they knew and trusted crashed all around them now they"re picking up the peices but they havent quite found them so now we are trying to support each other but we dont always know how because from every angle we are faced with shame and disempowerment and just when we think we are ready to live our lives again well you go and do it again you go and do it again and still to this day im terrified of what you can do to me and this fear consumes me whether im awake or asleep im aware of the restrictions that you have on my life and if i defend myself with my fist or my knife then youre there in the courtroom waiting to see me cry well i am going to fucking cry!! ////well i know you like to think of the stranger in the alley of the psycopath with no self control in the movies i hate to break it to you but it may just be your son your nice guy of a friend or your sweet loving husband when our society raises us to take whatever we want and that cis men are valid humans expected to be more dominant that our needs only matter when we have a dick to assert them with and that consent is just a killjoy word to ruin perfect moments with!//// if you dont get permission then that makes you a rapist if they are drunk asleep your partner or last night they wanted it there are no excuses and there are no blurred lines so get the fuck away from me and let me get on with my life cause it may take months or it may take years and there may never come a day where we dont shed our tears but we are powerful we are beautiful we are better than you will ever be you better watch out for your fuckin life cause you are now the enemy and so from this day you should be terrified of what we can do to you on the streets and in our bedrooms the power no longer lies with you if youre horny and you tell yourself that you are entitled well tell your friends to come and visit you in hospital cause you have to learn somehow these bodies are ours and ours alone now do you understand when i say no?

we say goodbye at the beginning of the night when the rest of this little town will turn out their bedroom lights we say goodbye before we hit the road because the paths we take are not the ones that everybody knows we say goodbye with this fear in our hearts of the people who will do their best to tear our worlds apart we say goodbye not knowing the next time we will meet and if theres a chance that we will be alive cause we dont know how far they will go with us this time so lets tell each other that we love them whenever we can lets keep each other safe as we possibly can be careful keep quiet most important of all dont push the ones you love far enough for them to fall cause when we fall we cant stick together and we have to stick together we have secrets we have treasures we have our plans but they can never be measured by the ways of consequence cause we cant be sure how fucked up the state decides to react so we burn notes encrypt our messages and find it hard to trust every single person that we are desperate to love cause those outside our circles are always the enemy to us and we dont know how far they will go with us this time i see that you are hurting i see that you've been beaten i see they cut you deep into your very existence if you need to take some time if you need to get away we can all work together to find somewhere warm and dry to stay cause this will never be safe and this will never be easy and we will need to call our parents to let them know we're still breathing but if we hold each other near every step of the way then maybe it'll be better, maybe it will be better so lets tell each other that we love them whenever we can lets keep each other safe as we possibly can be careful keep quiet most important of all dont push the ones you love far enough for them to fall cause when we fall we cant stick together and we have to stick together

about

Content Warning for the album - in our songs we talk about sexual assault, misogyny, police abuse, animal exploitation, the prison system, and state repression as consequences of living under capitalism and patriarchy. Its important to discuss and open up space for these topics so that we can fight domination and hieriarchies, but this takes a lot of strength when we are surrounded by the reality of this brutal system and sometimes those reminders are too strong and triggering even in the things that we love. so we hope that by giving some content warnings (some songs have a bigger one than others) that everyone can make their own decisions about what to be confronted by.

After some times of playing music on the street together, and writing songs, this album and band was given life.
We feel that we life in a very absurd time, where alot of things are changing. We want to create more of a politcal presence within the punk and radical scene, and create a space for female associated people, queer and trans folk to play music, join campaigns, do direct actions and feel empowered. Patriarchy is alive and kicking, even within our radical movements and we feel that this has to be confronted.

We feel our music should be free to download for everyone, that is why our bandcamp says, name your price. But ofcourse, touring and making cds costs some money sometimes, so if you feel like supporting us in that way (if you can) then thats cool!
