Rash Decision - Medium Raw

  With the Just Some Punk Songs show and Wayne Elliott's Pulsebeat show both going out on Hong Kong station Radio Lantau, Wayne and myself compare playlists before the shows so we don't duplicate any of the songs. If there is anything in both, one of us will usually swap it although this week we had both included a song that neither of us wanted to leave out so it featured twice. Today's update is that song.

  If you want to check out the shows, I've just uploaded the latest Just Some Punk Songs here : https://www.mixcloud.com/mick-fletcher/just-some-punk-songs-030618/

  Wayne will no doubt post the latest Pulsebeat sometime today here :  https://www.mixcloud.com/Wayne_Elliott/

  And the song we both felt the need to play? It's taken from Karoshi which is the new album from Falmouth (UK) hardcore punks Rash Decision. The band formed in 2006, are influenced by the likes of Municipal Waste, Black Flag, Minor Threat, Zeke, Slayer etc and the line up features Dave Decision (lead vocals/guitar), Kev Cregan (bass/backing vocals), Simon J Sky (guitar/backing vocals) and Tom Candy (drums).

  With pedal pressed firmly to the floor, the song rapidly pounds its way through 75 seconds of blisteringly intense hardcore before surprisingly meeting up with popular Irish chanteuse Enya as she travels the Orinoco Flow. Everyone sails away into the sunset. This is called Medium Flow....

Pulled out of nothing, my life starts now. 
Finally a chance not let you down. 
You think you have the knowledge not to fail. 
But that was all to no avail. 

You bleed and you blister in the blasting steam. 
You grow tired and sore and bitter and mean. 
You lose track of who you think you are. 
You cannot see through the scars. 
A masterclass in patience and a lesson learned in life. 
A year of suffering on the edge of a knife. 
You learn to live with the barage of cunts. 
Untill the breaking point when you're left with nuthin. 

Line is drawn. 
Cooked medium raw. 
Burned to a crisp. 

Forced to grind. 
Forced to die 
Fuck you all. 
A masterclass in patience and a lesson learned in life. 
A year of suffering on the edge of a knife. 
You learn to live with the barage of cunts. 
Untill the breaking point when you're left with nuthin. 

Sail away.
