I don't like your friends.
They're boring and they lie to you.
But I try my hand even when I don't want to.
You know that I like the way you move to the songs that played when we were only friends.
What was I like then? Was I ever in your head?
I'd drop you that line but I don't think you need it.
Keep it up, keep it up, kid.
I make you uptight. Well, you don't really need this.
Keep it up, keep it up, kid.
Tell me everything you wanted out of it and maybe I could give you some more.
We keep doing circles going 'round like this and you don't want to do anymore.
Come out. Come over.
I don't like your friends.
They never seem to understand that you try your best, even if it's just pretend.
You know that I like the way we used to stay up all night when we were only friends.
Have I done right since? Will I ever get ahead?
...but if you only come out for good times then you'll never get over this life.

A standout full-length debut in what has been an incredible year for hardcore. Ecostrike play a incendiary, impassioned brand of straight edge metallic hardcore that recalls One Truth-era Strife and early Earth Crisis, but are far from being a simple retread of 90’s past. One of the year’s best releases. Busty Loads
Bright and dazzling guitar pop radiates out from this irresistible LP from Mint Green, with choruses as big as summer sky. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 5, 2022
More feel-good indie from Brooklyn's A Great Big Pile of Leaves, all bristling guitar tones and expansive choruses. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 18, 2021
