lyrics
i) Old Skool
I remember the days when we used to go skating right after class.
We'd ride to the mall and create some havoc in the parking lot.
It seems like all those days are long and gone.
We'd hang from when the bell rang until the afternoon, and we'd be there until the end.
Now, you’re a doctor and my life it hasn't changed.
I'm 32, and since 15 I'm still the same.
It seems like all those days are long and gone.
We'd hang from when the bell rang until the afternoon, and we'd be there until the end.
ii) Pre Skool
Well, I remember when I told you I was King of the World,
We'd battle for supremacy then I'd get the girl.
We'd play in the sand until the sun set at night.
Then we'd shit our pants but that was when we were 5.
This is a damn fine release. It feels genuine; at times even emotional (in a good way). It's fun and witty while also being pissed off in all the right ways. It's political, critical, and nonconformist. Yet it still manages to feel original in an arguably oversaturated genre. Nicholas Whittemore
Aussie upstarts juxtapose tightly-wound post punk songwriting with nuanced production, jangling choruses, and heady jams. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 29, 2023
