One thing I've noticed about compiling the songs in this blog is that more often than not a song by a band that not many people have heard of will get more views than one by someone well known, for example last week The RiceCrackers and Broken Talent both had around three times as many views as Billy Bragg. I'd like to think that this is a sign that people are reading this blog because they want to discover something new.
If that's the case then hopefully today's update, a track from a demo released last year by Portland, Oregon band Sloppy Kisses will be tempt the curious amongst you to listen to what is a very promising debut. (You can check it out here : https://sloppykisses.bandcamp.com/releases).
The band feature members who are in, or were in, a number of other bands (Dottie Attie, Wild Mohicans, Therapists, Final Massakre). They are Rose (vocals), Jeramy (guitar/vocals), Jason (bass) and Chris (drums).
I know very little else about them other than they're shortly supporting Piss Test and there's new recordings on their way. Until then, this is track 7 from the demo and it's called New Pompeii......
New Pompeii is the place to be
New Pompeii, New Pompeii
The trendy fucks flock to this city
New Pompeii, New Pompeii
Two looming giants sleeping nearby
New Pompeii, New Pompeii
Waiting to blow ash into the sky
New Pompeii, New Pompeii
You have a false sense of protection
Living in the shadow of ashy extinction
Just wait until the eruptions begin
And your ash-filled lungs are burning
So quickly we forget the past
New Pompeii, New Pompeii
30 years ago a 27 megaton blast
New Pompeii, New Pompeii
The northern giant unleashed death
New Pompeii, New Pompeii
Destroying acres with its ashy breath
New Pompeii, New Pompeii
New Pompeii is the place to be
New Pompeii, New Pompeii
To relive the events of 1980
New Pompeii, New Pompeii
But just remember Vesuvius
New Pompeii, New Pompeii
Next time that could be us
New Pompeii, New Pompeii
