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
