Comrades - Bodega Cats



  Comrades are the New York punk/ska/crust/folk collective who first appeared on here in July 2014 with a song about cats (http://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.co.uk/2014/07/comrades-cats-not-cops.html).  In fact I'm wearing the Cats Not Cops t shirt as I type this intro to a new song by them which also features cats in the title. It's from their new record and it's damn good.

  Forming in 2009, Comrades released debut album We Got This!!! in 2013. A decent summation of it that I saw proclaimed it "Fast and full on punk rock. Blistering and angry with dual vocals..." Fortunately, as well as being pissed off, the band can also write catchy tunes.

  Fast forward to Christmas Day 2017 and they released Matter Of Fact. 8 tracks, some raging ska punk, some stripped down folk, all worth checking out....  https://comradescollective.bandcamp.com/album/matter-of-fact

  If you check back in a few days, Alexis from the band will be sharing her Top 10 songs.

  From Matter Of Fact, this is Bodega Cats....

CIGAR GUTS AND BOOZE BREATH 
WITH THE STENCH OF PISS AND DEATH 
BODEGA CATS THAT I CAN PET 
TRYING HARD NOT TO GET WET 
MAKING TIME IN THE BACK ROW 
WHISKEY PIZZA AND A FREE SHOW 
TAPPING SPOTLIGHT HALO GLOW 

CAUSE IM FEELING STICKY IN SOMEONE ELSES CLOTHES 
ROADSIDE FREE BIN IS CLOSED 
AND ITS SMASHED FINGERS PRETTY DRESSES 
IM CARDIAC ARRESTED 
FEELING STICKY IN SOME ONE ELSES CLOTHES 

SIDEWALKS EATING UP MY SOLES 
CHEWING MUD UP AS THEY GO 
THE TEMPERATURE DROPS AND THEN WE ROLL 
SIDEWALKS EATING UP MY SOULS 
WITH CHILDREN GETTING PERMISSION FOR ROLES 
DRINKING ALL THE BEER THEYRE TRYING TO DISPOSE 

CAUSE IM FEELING STICKY IN SOMEONE ELSES CLOTHES 
ROADSIDE FREE BIN IS CLOSED 
AND ITS SMASHED FINGERS PRETTY DRESSES 
IM CARDIAC ARRESTED 
FEELING STICKY IN SOME ONE ELSES CLOTHES 

IM SPILLING INK AND DRAWING BLANKS 
I LOST THE BOOKMARK AND THE PLACE 
THROWING ROCKS AND GETTING STRAIGHT 
BUSTED LIPS FROM CHILDRENS GAMES 
HOPSCOTCH HIPS AND LOSING DAYS 
SIDEWALK SLAMS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY 
AND IM RUNNING AWAY FROM ALL THOSE BILLS IM NEVER GOING TO PAY 

CAUSE IM FEELING STICKY IN SOMEONE ELSES CLOTHES 
ROADSIDE FREE BIN IS CLOSED 
AND ITS SMASHED FINGERS PRETTY DRESSES 
IM CARDIAC ARRESTED 
FEELING STICKY IN SOME ONE ELSES CLOTHES
