Filthy Hearts - Precipice

  One thing that's jumped out at me recently whilst I've been searching for new music to post on this blog is a growing number of bands being promoted by the recently formed Mills On Wheels PR. It certainly makes my task easier when someone as enthusiastic as Mills On Wheels founder Lauren Mills is banging the drum so visibly for great new releases. Acts she's representing include Smoke Or Fire frontman Joe McMahon, Entropy, Four Lights plus a couple of bands that I've already posted songs by, Brutal Youth and Dragged In. Today's update features the latest Mills On Wheels band......

  Filthy Hearts are a new band from Denver, Colorado who feature ex Larimers vocalist Ryan Hatfield. They'll be releasing their debut ep, I'll Sleep When I'm Dead (Inside), on September 23rd and you can stream a couple of the songs from it here ; http://filthyhearts.bandcamp.com/album/ill-sleep-when-im-dead-inside.

  Serving as a cathartic outlet for Hatfield's struggles with anxiety and alcoholism as well as the pain of leaving The Larimers, the ep features 4 heartfelt punk anthems. Reminding me a little of Against! Me, this is the lead track and it's called Precipice.....


With more talk of the precipice 
Failure seems so eminent 
Archaic modes of self depreciation 
To say that I'm okay.... 
LIE RIGHT TO YOUR FUCKING FACE 

I always have to have the last word 
Every time 
To know that I've been scraping by 
Long enough to know by now 
That I'll be less than fine 
Stomp out my delusions and read between the lines 
Read the obituaries and see myself in 'em 

Then awake from savage nightmares 
Clear the sweat off my brow 
Realize my judgement 
I STILL WON"T BE FINE 
Advise me of my circumstances 
SELL ME ON MY OWN LIFE 

I always have to have the last word 
Every time 
To know that I've been scraping by 
Long enough to know by now 
That I'll be less than fine 
Stomp out my delusions and read between the lines 
Read the obituaries and see myself in 'em 

I always have to have the last word 
Every time 
To know that I've been scraping by 
Long enough to know by now 
That I'll be less than fine 
Stomp out my delusions and read between the lines 
Read the obituaries 
Read the obituaries 
Read the obituaries 
Read the obituaries 
And see myself in 'em
