Liner Notes

ZeCoop: I saw Helen in the Slack chat talking about songs for her awesome punk band and thought - Yeah! I should write a fast, loud, short song and see if she likes it. Well, *I* liked it well enough to go straight into writing a second one! So much fun!! Here's the first and it fits right into how my brain is firing these days. "Don't let the bastards grind you down" Keep shouting and let them know that we aren't going away! Thanks for being amazing Helen!

I used my Agile and Epiphone Les Pauls (on either side) into my Hudsonics amp that DragonDreams built for me. Also, my Fender Jazz bass and my Ludwig drums

Lyrics

I never believed when I was told
That I should be seen and never heard
That wasn't something that I could adhere to

And when I raise this voice of mine
They tell me that's not ladylike
But that isn't something that I could aspire to

So I take pride in my own self
And know that my difference is my strength
There's no ingenuity in paint by numbers

But some people always deny change
Want everything to stay the same
If they're comfortable they don't care who they're screwing

They want to keep us quiet
They want to wear us down
Don't let them snuff out that fire
We've got to keep shouting loud

So don't let the bastards grind you down
Don't let them make you feel alone
There's always other folks that you can turn to

'Cause we can't do much just on our own
But side by side we can be strong
And face up to anything they can throw at us

They want to keep us quiet
They want to wear us down
Don't let them snuff out that fire
We've got to keep shouting loud

YESSSS! That's the spirit! (I'll come back to listen to this again, for sure!)

Just came back for another listen, and... wow. This song f**ks.

Holy Joan Jett! Wow, this one moves like a freight train. Absolutely nails a 80s melodic punk rock vibe, from that bouncing bass line to the driving guitars. And those vocals! A perfect fit for the lyrics and so polished and raw at the same time. Wow to all of this.

Oh, sweet. The lyrical rhythm complements the rocking guitars so well. Great vocal overall!
[avatar]

So melodic for punk music, and yet still punk as hell. Rockin good stuff. Love the vocal! And that track. Rockin good stuff.

I'm headbanging in the kitchen and the dogs are looking at me funny. This is ticking the boxes!!! We've got to keep shouting loud indeed!!!!

Love the second verse going higher register - the vocals sound great, especially on the chorus. Great message, the bass sounds great in the chorus when it slides off to the higher notes too. Infectious stuff!

Awesome. This makes me miss one of the venues here that had a lot of local punk bands. Lots of great times going to see shows there (fletcher’s) in Baltimore. They used to even run a local
Radio show there that would feature the bands on the local rock station. This rules.

If you snuck this into a classic punk playlist of mine, I wouldn't bat an eye. Love the shimmery guitars, vocals are excellent, bass is angry and gurgling along, everything is present and correct. Excellent stuff.
