Sloppy Kisses - New Pompeii

  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
