S.O.H - [you] Don't Have to Wait

  

  A big thank you today to occasional Just Some Punk Songs contributor Ralph J Rivera for pointing me in the direction of a new band from Los Angeles called S.O.H.

  I know nothing about them other than that they're a noisy bunch and boast a vocalist with a terrifically powerful voice. Last week saw them release a (presumably) debut 6 track ep titled Life On Edge and it's a wonderfully energetic and raucous 10 minutes of raging hardcore punk. All fury, all tautly wound, pedal to the metal pummelling noise but with enough melody buried in there to make it palatable to a wuss like me. You can find it here :  https://sohsystemofhate.bandcamp.com/album/life-on-edge

  I was going to highlight Radiation on here today (a couple of people on the Bandcamp page have chosen it as their favourite track) but instead I'll play that on this week's show and go with a different one. This one's called [you] Don't Have to Wait... 

We don’t have prove we’ve won Bleeding wounds with the guns - take place Darker skin gets all the sprayed mace / freedom? What’s a fight if were all erased Freedom We don’t have to wait Freedom We don’t have to wait Shoot our sons to get your pay Kill the system we’ve obeyed Death so close it’s just a taste - freedom No choice give them all brigade Icarus Destruct the ones we’ve just begun Power only makes them use hate Give them what we made of -freedom So close so we don’t have to wait
