Perth punks The Decline joined forces with Oceanside, California’s Sic Waiting mid 2020 to release charity digital split “Year Of The Crow / Stay Awake”. We've turned that digital release into a Limited Edition 7" featuring two new tracks from each band. The split brings two skate punk bands together who have been good mates for years, to raise money for international animal welfare organisation IFAW. All proceeds from digital sales of the EP will be donated to IFAW.

I’ve never been this scared before in my whole entire life,
I see the ocean, I see the coast line from the sky.
We left the sun of Spring time for the autumn leaves of fall,
We won’t see home again before hallows eve for sure.
Was it all worth caving in?
And if we break before we bend what does that mean?
Regret it? Forget it. Feel stupid that I even thought out loud
When there’s no other option you make it somehow.
But it’s okay, do you think about the passing days?
I’ve been listening to your lyrics,
Words I never thought I’d say are what I need,
As I watch you come to life in me,
And watch me bleed onto the page,
Another chapter you will never read.
Was it all worth caving in?
And at a loss for words do we become a part the machine?
Presence or proximity.
Regret it? Forget it - feel stupid that I even thought out loud
Watch me break before we bend and watch me make it somehow.

I love it. Have to agree with still bummed: this packs an emotional punch but rocks hard. I've played this whole album repeatedly over the last week which is unusual for me. Exhilarating, poignant, intelligent, melodic. Robin Ward

SO stoked these guys are back with a new album! This does not disappoint whatsoever, and in my opinion it's their best work yet! Don't sleep on this release if you are into melodic skatepunk. iloveblink182
