The Process Of Belief

growing up, there were 2 radio stations. KROQ and POWER 106. so you got either rock, rap, r+b, or some pop to cope in a hot and superficial LA.

the first time i heard Sorrow, i was just a kid.

punk songs read like gospel when you cant save yourself.

so. got out there and got dirty in other people’s dust (made my friends puke) and some of it stuck.

but what really stuck felt true.

Amoeba Records, talking to similar punks, giving space to judgmental hipsters who are heavy handed or will just leave the scene when they feel.

~ and time in the water to appreciate that it ever could exist.

…relistening + talking

it’s interesting to hear pieces of reggae, rockabilly, and thrash all in the songs and on the album. that was kind of the LA rock sound Sublime + Metallica + Tiger Army.
