The Kreutzer Sonata - P.W.M. (Punks With Morals)

  "Punk rock with a heavy heart. Destroying all our dead ends, always fighting through the entropy."

  At least that's how their bandcamp bio describes The Kreutzer Sonata. Personally I'd just say that they're kicking up a racket whilst shouting out about what's going on around them, but they're rather more poetic than I am so I'll stick with their version.

  This is the bit where I usually write a fairly dull intro before posting a killer song, on this occasion however I'm indebted to the band's bassist, Kat Schrapler, who's wrote a few introductory lines :

  "The Kreutzer Sonata is a hardcore punk outfit hailing from Chicago, Illinois, whose sound has been described as unapologetic in nature; similar to bands like Leftover Crack, A Global Threat with a little bit of Aus Rotten thrown in the mix. The band was formed in 2011 and has been going strong ever since. On February 12, 2015 they released a full length by the name of "Austere" and will be touring the East Coast of the U.S. in summer 2015."

  Back to me now, just long enough to mention that the band is filled out by Karl on drums/vocals and Adam, guitar/vocals. They not only bring the noise, they also write some damn good lyrics. Head over to their bandcamp where you can name your price for all their releases (including Austere) : http://thekreutzersonata.bandcamp.com/ 

  This one's called P.W.M. (Punks With Morals).....

The same motherfucker that's supposed to be a punk 
is talking like a homophobe when he gets drunk 
hypocrisy is a fatal disease 
Keep your hate south of I-80 
and all these motherfuckers that are supposed to be a scene 
are stealing from each other and its fucking sickening 

These days all the morals have been taken away 
are we blind or can anyone explain this to me 
can we try maybe glorifying something that's right 
like unity in this fucked up punk scene 
take a dive if you're feeling alright 
maybe no ones gonna save you tonight 
when they're down pick em up dust em off lets go 
its all for one so fuck your ego 

All these bands in the punk community 
that show up right before their set then leave 
Hypocrisy is a fatal disease 
dont pretend you're part of the scene 
and the same motherfuckers spiking up their hair 
are criticizing others for the shit they wanna wear 
hypocrisy is a fatal disease 
what is there to gain from these divisions 
we 
separate our means 

These days all the morals have been taken away 
are we blind or can anyone explain this to me 
can we try maybe glorifying something that's right 
like unity in this fucked up punk scene 
take a dive if you're feeling alright 
maybe no ones gonna save you tonight 
when they're down pick em up dust em off lets go 
its one for all so fuck your ego
