about

This is another track originally demo'd back around 2005 ish, Greg wrote his lyrics to a beat by Jez Q as 'Q and the bud_', releasing as we did back then to Myspace. This time, however, it got the L&W treatment, Karl got all heavy on the guitar, which led us to invite Fingers McFunk (Rich Blake) in for the second 'was wah' guitar and solo. We tried some electro beats but opted for the Bonham style drums and went all 'Beastie' on the words. There's a couple of new verses of lyrics, Wasterman penned a line too! Bit of sidestep style wise but hey, we love it!

lyrics

Free it
no surrender
we’re mashed up
gonna erupt
we’re breaking out the box
demons feeding on the rhyme
baby shut up
coz we’re heading for the crunch

Green light go
amber you hesitate
you don’t stop
you don’t stop

How long is it gonna thrill
the good stuff
It’ll make you ill
we’re breaking out the box
demons feeding on the rhyme
baby shut up
coz we’re heading for the crunch

Green light go
amber you hesitate
you don’t stop
you don’t stop

Free it
no surrender
we’re masked up
gonna erupt
we’re mixing in the bath tub
selling by the pound
if you get too deep
then you're going under ground

Leave it
walk away
you get close
you're gonna stay
we’re taking out the rug
people washing out the stains
baby shut up
coz we’re heading for the crunch

Free it
no surrender
we’re mashed up
gonna erupt
we’re breaking out the box
demons feeding on the rhyme
baby shut up
coz we’re heading for the crunch

Described by Sounds on Facebook ‘to have hardcore beats fuelled by an incendiary swagger that lands somewhere between Crass, Atari Teenage Riot and an angrier Sleaford Mods!' — excerpt from 'Sounds' Review on facebook 24/3/19 ... more
