Eye For An Eye Eyes on the future what do you see? Is it inclusive to people like you and me? Or do we have to raise hell and bring them to their knees? Yeah, we could just stand by and watch them cheat and steal and lie right through their teeth. What good’s your freedom, man, when they’re free to squash your liberty! Eye for an eye! We want justice! We want peace! We want your attention so take a knee! We gotta take a good look and acknowledge what they’ve become. And if you think they’ll listen and reason with our plight... Here’s a shovel. Start digging your own demise. You kick my shin? I break your leg. And that’s the way it’s gotta be! Eye for an eye!

The Melt* 03:23
The Melt It stated today - the revolution televised onto your tv I saw it today - political scientists with goggles and test tubes It stated today- private soldiers stomp their boots in your neighborhood You say it’s all just the same - until their boots are stomping you... Ugh The tip jar was empty. Their bellies all filled. They torched the inn and marched on and on and on. The fire spread endlessly. They could feel it all around. Until the smoke cleared no one could see. We burnt our fortress to the ground. It started today - digital bullies flex their muscles through broadband shields And I’m sorry to say - their wholesale market of belief won’t impress you. Oh, say, did you see? It’s like they drew it up on blackboards in Hollywood. And they defined where the truth lay. Then refined it ‘cause they could. Woah! Now it’s melting all around. Yeah, it’s melting all around. Now it’s melting and we can’t escape ourselves. Now it’s melting all around. Yeah it’s melting all around. Now it’s melting and we can’t escape our fate. Sorry to say But it started today Yeah I’m sorry but we can’t escape our fate. Sorry to say. It started today. Sorry to say. Sorry to say... Sorry to say But we can’t escape our fate. There’s silence in our hearts. There’s silence in our hearts. There’s silence and we can’t escape or fate!

Spellbinder Thinking about the time we spent in the past Is there any wonder why it didn’t last? Nothing is the same. So now you’re all grown up, yeah you’re growing old Your grapes turned sour, yeah, but no one ever told you: If you don’t watch your step you might lose it all in time All the chaos and the madness you left behind Left in your wake but you don’t care that you have poisoned peoples minds Just go - and don’t you bother to apologize Just go - between your hollow words and empty gestures Just go - not a single thing can save you now Just go - you left us spellbound but you could not save yourself Another day, another friend left out in the cold. Another bill of goods you try to get sold. But when the tables turn it’s always “woah is me! I can’t go on like this!” All the chaos and the madness you have left behind. Left in your wake but you don’t care that you have ruined people’s lives Just go- and when you go, you’re gone, don’t turn back halfway cause you won’t find me Just go - you spent the last twelve years just poking holes snd pointing fingers Just go - and if you think this time that I’ll just sit snd wait there on the shelf Just go - you better think again cause the only one you’ll have left is yourself All the chaos and the madness you left behind. Left in your wake but you don’t care that you have ruined peoples lives Just go - if you know what’s good, you’ll turn around right now and head for the door Just go - there’s nothing left here for you but disappointment and broken promises Just go - and when you realize your luck’s run out snd your left all alone Just know - that the next poor soul you’ll let down is your own

Lonely Streets Another night without you I just don’t think I’ll make it through. To hold you tight What I do Oh god, I just can’t feel it It’s been so long since I knew The warmth inside my spirit I feel so cold I’m shivering It’s like my heart stopped beating You just don’t know What I do Cause if you did I’d be there Inside our home Beside you Not walking down these streets alone Oh no What can I do to make it up to you this time? Pick up your phone We can work it out We can leave this all behind And then we can both see that it’s you and me It always has been from the start It started like a dream, yeah Now we’re always screaming And it’s tearing us apart The night seems so calm The moon seems so bright It’s a contrast to my tangled mind The air feels so cold My heart feels so low As I walk these empty streets alone

Vampires*** 02:58
A dime dropped as we scratched the needle: The question of “which way do we go?” At the top of their mountain of ego Sit conniving and blood thirsty people And if you fall for all the bullshit they spew out Don’t be surprised next time when they come to knock you down You don’t have to lie to believe some one You don’t need a lie to believe in You don’t have to lie to believe some one You don’t have to lie to believe some one You don’t need a lie to believe in You don’t have to lie to believe some one if you don’t understand And if the ball keeps dropping the buck gets passed around And if you feel your head spin The world will catch up They’ll spin it faster And you can’t trust your own eyes When daily truth filters through a mad man’s alibis You don’t have to lie to believe some one You don’t need a lie to believe in You don’t have to lie to believe some one if you don’t understand You don’t have to lie to believe some one You don’t have to lie to believe some one You don’t have to lie to believe some one

Duff Guide to Ska review:

Forged from members of NYC/NJ area bands Inspecter 7 and The Rudie Crew (RIP Roy Radics), The End Times produce a '90s ska sound that's a fierce mix of trad, modern, and punk-ish ska with blistering, Lee Ving-like hardcore vocals troweled on top (and the contrast works surprising well). Call it Armagideon ska. Their self-titled debut EP (digital, self-released, 2021) is pretty fantastic--and its first several tracks, in particular, are stellar. The EP is clearly a product of having lived through the horrendous Trump/MAGA years and all of its lies, corruption, gaslighting, and hate. But it also speaks to the disintegration of American civic society and how a major political party and around a third of our fellow citizens have embraced white supremacy and authoritarianism. In the uncompromising, "Eye for an Eye" (which takes "Racist Friend" a couple of steps further), The End Times spell out what they think it's going to take to take on the nazi goons in our midst:

Eyes on the future what do you see?
Is it inclusive to people like you and me?
Or do we have to raise hell and bring them to their knees?
Yeah, we could just stand by and watch them cheat and steal and lie right through their teeth
What good’s your freedom, man, when they’re free to squash your liberty!

Eye for an eye!

We want justice! We want peace! We want your attention, so take a knee!
We gotta take a good look and acknowledge what they’ve become
And if you think they’ll listen and reason with our plight... Here’s a shovel
Start digging your own demise

You kick my shin?
I break your leg
And that’s the way it’s gotta be!

Gandhi may not like it ("An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind"), but, then again, look what it took the last time to beat back the fascists (hopefully, we're not headed down that path). "The Melt" was recorded before the despicable seditionist insurrection on January 6 but is still very much about it, since it's about the enemy within--the call's coming from inside the house:

It started today
Digital bullies flex their muscles through broadband shields
And I’m sorry to say
Their wholesale market of belief won’t impress you
Oh, say, did you see?
It’s like they drew it up on blackboards in Hollywood
And they defined where the truth lay
Then redefined it ‘cause they could...

...Now it’s melting and we can’t escape ourselves.

"Black Hat" (what you'd call a malicious hacker) is a terrific Scofflaws-like instrumental, while the full-on punk track "Vampires" calls out the MAGA/Fox/right-wing media ecosphere that profits mightily off the garbage, gaslighting, and conspiracy theories that are spewed out daily, and reminds their followers that, "You don’t need a lie to believe in/You don’t have to lie to believe some one." The message is unlikely to be received, but it's definitely worth transmitting. Make sure to tune into The End Times.
