lyrics
My dad, for most of his life, was in the F.B.I.
How did i get into his secret room ?
Well, i can't tell, but what i found there
Left me speechless
My dad was more than just one plain cop
The NATO was his religion
He used to be the country's whore
And maybe more
(he's not to blame he did it for the fame)
Could he be the man I used to kiss
At breakfast time each morning
Lots of connections to blacken US government
Compromising reports about JFK, Nixon, Falklands and so on ...
I took the classified files
And began to read it
I couldn't believe my eyes
That was so confidential
The plan was to create a new music style
Welcome back to cold war era
They left no stone unturned
Recruiting the best elements
Branded with code names
They shaped those virgin brains
To stick to what they planned and aimed
Then we got into that nowhere train
Speeding along a nowhere place
There was something strange in the air
The databank of all our names
And identities were erased
We were new products of the USA
An explosion made the lodge shake
Just before the castle bursted out in flames
To a rebellion we weren't prepared
That was the last of all he things we did expect
We tried to take back control of the situation
We were not up to a fight against alienation
We were few to escape those fucking men
When sorted out, some will surely claim
We’ll start a brand new life
Under californian sun
No rules, no guides, just having fun
Freedom and tax exemption
That would rock our socks !

Bouncy, urgent, raucous indie rock, anthemic yet unpredictable; this Oxford, U.K. trio sounds defiantly full of life. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 28, 2020
The latest from the young Toronto pop-punkers: perpetually charged-up, but remaining wry and thoughtful. Hooks for days, pep in your step. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 1, 2016
