Drowning in the archipelago, drowning off the coast of Greece
Too many bodies in the clutches of Hades, too many bodies clogging up the Styx
The north sinks beneath the deluge, muddy water creeps into your home
Sandbags replaced by the morning rags, breeding xenophobes
(Chorus) Spent souls, they go
Straight to the bottom
Victims to the ebb and flow
Someone else’s prize
Another war, another world
Slime and sludge conspire
The ocean’s depths, take hold of
All souls on board, we won’t die alone
Die alone
There’s no bluffing against this tabloid kangaroo court,
The coven cozened to chaos, ignore the body on the beach
Testament to his hand, no paired aces or pocket royals
So six days on a leaky boat, before the deck collapsed beneath him
(Chorus)
Factions strive, widen the divide, bloody battles and fist fights
Factions strive, widen the divide, wasting time, wasting lives
Factions strive, widen the divide, seems like there’s no resolution in sight
Factions strive, widen the divide, will you settle to survive or will you try and thrive?
(Chorus)

We all have certain needs in life - food, shelter, companionship, good friends and an impetus to smash the patriarchal state and bury it in a hole outside the M22. This EP helps with that last one. Armed To The Teeth
People are weird, drinking hurts your head and makes you sick in your bed, and sometimes that's all you need. Fuzzy, catchy punk about loving the liquor, hating the hangover and feeling free. Dig it. Armed To The Teeth
Killer riffs, catchy hooks, ace vocal melodies. Lots of Biffy and Brand New influences, heavy grunge, emo angst and soaring punk. It's ace. Armed To The Teeth
