about
The first single from the CD.
lyrics
The Bible says, Eat, Drink and be Merry, because tomorrow
You might die
Life boiled down to its, most basic, element
But bad things, happening, don't have to define who we are
I've always loved the sentiment in Bruce Cockburn's, "Lovers in a Dangerous Time," when Bruce sings
We need to kick the darkness, 'til it bleeds daylight, gotta' learn to kick that darkness 'til it bleeds daylight
But Life can be cruel, it can take the starch out of you and then
You've got to try to figure what's the next step on your path
It's like a curveball thrown, you've got to try to keep your weight back—and dump it into the outfield
I'm not sure if this baseball analogy works here, but I was thinking about it, when I was playing my guitar
I've always had this thing for Canadian bands and singers, like Cockburn
Along with and the Tragically Hip
There was this band from Moncton, they really made a splash in the early 90s
They were Eric's Trip
Then there's the Halifax scene and Sloan, playing their power pop, Matt Mays, channeling his inner Neil Young Then in Nova Scotia there's Joel Plaskett, and the Joel Plaskett Emergency
Like Bruce says, kick the darkness 'til it bleeds daylight
I'm gonna' kick that darkness, until it bleeds daylight. Gonna' kick the darkness 'til it bleeds daylight
Push it back, throw it down, kick it out, at the darkness, 'til it bleeds daylight, 'til it bleeds daylight
Kick at the darkness, 'til it bleeds daylight
Pushing back against darkness and evil. Kick the darkness 'til it bleeds daylight
The latest from indie rock outfit Activity has a charmingly sinister feel, blending in stark rhythms and washes of dark ambient. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 8, 2023
The new EP from the aptly named regal murk is a striking piece of work, thick rivers of guitar swallowing tender vocal melodies. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 24, 2022
