Major Taylor
03:58

It's mass hysteria what's become of our hero?
Fallen victim to a new kind of gravity
Backwards forwards and many degrees
The major's not around so the youth are
They polluted our airways
They diluted the rhythms and sounds
So the Major has gone underground
Look up in the sky it's a bullet it's a plane
It's our hero but he hangs his head in shame
Stand clear when the sound systems play
The Major confessed that he's not at his best
these days
There is no inspiration here, just a facade
Look up in the sky it's a bullet it's a plane
It's our hero but he hangs his head in shame
Stand clear when the sound systems play
The Major confessed that he's not at his best
these days
So who's gonna save you now?
Ring the alarm the Major's soul is dying

Personal Emergencies

Every sunrise is a blessing for John Doe
Because there's so many ways to go
Hearing the car crash and the rumble of guns
Whose got your back when the city attacks
When you stare at the cracks
You're sick cause you got that
Get up and go I'm on the go
I've got your back when you've got no choice
I try to my keep face down I'm eluding the sunshine
I can't let my guard down
Everybody wants a piece of mine
Everybody needs a piece of the action
Everybody wants a bit of the skyline

A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!!

Specializing in bright, sunny "bedroom rock español," this Brooklyn singer-songwriter puts a unique spin on lo-fi music.

Jagged post-punk from Sydney captures the sound of the ’70s in its acute angled guitars and detacted vocals.

Body Of Work (1990-1995)
by Spitboy

So hard to pick a favorite track on a discography album! From the comp tracks, to the seven inches, split LP, and LP, Spitboy wrote a ton of challenging and important songs that helped me understand a point of view other than my own.
