TORSO - Home Wrecked

  

  TORSO (https://www.facebook.com/TORSO-298095147012582) are the hard hitting 4 piece (Mae (vocals), Ktrü (guitar), Jasmine (bass) & Giacomo (drums)) from California that I featured on here in 2019 when they released their mightily impressive Build And Break ep (https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2019/01/torso-sick-of-fighting.html).

  Now they're back with the blistering title track from a new 3 song ep titled Home Wrecked. Unsurprisingly, given the title, and the picture on the cover, the song deals with the subject of the gentrification of the Bay Area and how it splits up communities and forces the less well off to relocate. Also on the ep is another original composition titled Weightless and a cover of a 1982 song by Washington band The Faith called You're X'd. 

 The 3 songs were recorded at the same time as the Build And Break ep but are only now seeing the light of day. You can get the vinyl here : https://revhq.com/collections/battle-of-the-bay/products/torso-home-wrecked or digital download here : https://torsoxvx.bandcamp.com/album/home-wrecked 

  This is Home Wrecked...

Meaningless lives In the sea of the city No empathy in sight Just self-pity Salt in the wounds of the people of this town Never questioning If we need you around These streets existed before Progress isn’t for anyone, it benefits you Benefits you Benefits you Wrecked everything in your path Histories you'll never understand Never questioning If we need you around These streets existed before Progress isn’t for anyone, it benefits you Benefits you Benefits you You're presence Turns everything stale Never questioning If we need you around These streets existed before Progress isn’t for anyone, it benefits you Benefits you
