Violent Affair - Trapped Like Rats

 

  Today I'm bringing you some brand new and really rather wonderful "Fast As Fuck Punk-Rock" from Oklahoma City.

  Violent Affair have been stoking the flames of rebellion since 2009. They play fast yet catchy street punk which reminds me of The Casualties at their best, other influences they mention include Krum Bums, Clit 45 and The Pinkerton Thugs.

  The band comprises of Dave Affair (vocals), The Jesse Machine (guitar), Tony Cozzaglio (bass), Dom The Destroyer (guitar) and Ryan Violence (drums). Seasoned musicians all, they've also featured in a number of other bands including The Rippers, The Violence and The Costellos.

  Their debut release was 2009's self released Armageddon ep and this was followed a year later by debut album, Stand Trial. Since then, Jailhouse Records have released the Call To Arms 7", The Pressure Is Rising ep and album number 2, The Cockroach Theory.

  The song I'm posting today is from the newly self released ep Anthems Of Defiance In A Dying World Volume 1. It's the first of a planned 5 eps in the series which will eventually make up a full length album. If every installment is this good we're in for a treat. You can check it out here : http://violentaffair.bandcamp.com/album/anthemsof-defiance-in-a-dying-world-vol-1-denial/ .

  I recently posted the link on the new punk music group on Facebook and it seemed to go down very well (and rightly so). Strap in, this is one of the best songs of 2015, it's called Trapped Like Rats.....

does every day have to be the same?

I've got half a mind to put a bullet in my brain

I'm sick to death of the same old shit

its like I'm running in place and it makes me sick

does anyone else here feel the same way

like your staring at the world through bars on a cage

so I'm climbing up the walls and I'm pacing all around

like a rat in a cage and i wanna get out!

trapped like rats we're trapped like rats

we're trapped likes rats in a cage

dreaming of the day we escape

now we're spreading like the plague

these rats will rule the world some day

does everything have to frustrate me?

I get angrier every time that I blink

I'm so fed up with everything that I see

its like the whole fucking world is out to get me

does anyone else here seem to relate

or am I all alone imprisoned by my rage

so I'm biding my time and plotting everyday

just a rat in a cage and I wanna break free

trapped like rats we're trapped like rats

we're trapped likes rats in a cage

dreaming of the day we escape

now we're spreading like the plague

these rats will rule the world some day

plotting every day and we wanna break free
