1.
Bad Club 01:31
Blue lights, red lights, green lights, I can’t stand it White lights, yellow lights, bright lights, this club is shit Bad club, bad club, bad club, let’s get out White t-shirt bastard, grinding, we should glass him But I’m too scared, coward, he goes to the gym Vomit, rising, going to give me chest pains Panic attack, surging through my blue veins
2.
Bronze 00:38
Spiky bronze shape at the end of the stick Take my last drag now I’m feeling sick Throw it on the ground and head back inside This’ll be my last one I swear
3.
Useless 01:40
4.
Bindweed 01:27
Wraps round me like bindweed, now I’m in its grip Twisting and choking from its leadership I try to fight back but don’t know what do It’s so hard to kill off once it’s taken root There’s nice little flowers it grows while it strangles So it’s harder to notice the things that it mangles And once you know it you hit back of course But it’s so hard to kill if you don’t know the source I just can’t seem to cut it back
5.
You thought it went on for years and years, but you see the end in sight You can’t see any turn off, so you drive through day and night The road’s littered with empty cans, vomit and card tubes And at the end of the road is the marker, in memory of you I’ve managed to drive on, even where I’ve run out of fuel It’d be kind of impressive, if it were right to do I’m worried all my friends will soon be getting out the car Because it’s okay to be fucked up, until you actually are

No Reason 00:30

Opacity 01:39

Bleak Year 00:51
It's so hard to feel good these days We live in troubling times But we have to fight against the sadness It must be worth a try We're being held back By an outdated paradigm We have to make it change We're running out of time If you feel like it's broken you Or there's no end in sight Put in the work, rebuild your mind And try to put things right

about

We went to Leeds and recorded some old and new songs in summer 2016. Initially we were going to split this into two physical releases, but for now we're putting the whole thing up for free as we're not doing any shows for a while. It's a little sloppy but as it stands it is the most complete Shower Boys recording to date; we may put it out on a tape or w/e when we return.

'Bronze', 'Bindweed', 'Grave Highway' and 'Bleak Year' are the new-ish songs. 'No Reason' and 'Opacity' are both songs by our old band, Shower of Bastards.

Recorded, mixed and mastered by Ben Jones
