Chicago hardcore punk 4 piece Wrong War (https://www.facebook.com/wrongwarmusic) formed in 2019 and featured on here at the end of the following year with a track from their debut album, Fixed Against Forever (https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2020/12/wrong-war-first-shot-misses.html).
They return today with an equally blistering song from follow up album Once Upon A Weapon. It's more in a similar vein, it's hard hitting music providing a back beat to political lyrics such as "Feigned compassion... As your profits decreased" "Resist whatever seems so inevitable... Resist all who seem incredibly invincible" "It’s all punching down... With tyrannous aspirations" etc...
I'd also like to mention that I really like the album cover which is a 1918 oil painting by Dublin born artist Alexander Stanhope Forbes titled The Munitions Girls. It adds an extra touch of class to a very fine release.
It'll be available this summer on Atomic Action! Records and Council Records but is streaming here now : https://wrongwar.bandcamp.com/album/once-upon-a-weapon
This track is about the babble of fake news that seems to be blaring out from every direction. It's called Distraction Diet...
You could be so enraged these days
So many idiocies to engage
A distraction diet
Of lies and entitlement
We’ve lost our way
And it’s once, or so you think
Repeating viral weapon
Turned on by savagery
Turn it off and
Get the fuck away
You could be so enraged
these days So many idiocies to engage
And it’s once, or so you think
Retreating static essence
Turned on barbarity
Takes you so
Ever far away
And a chorus rose behind him
And a chorus rose behind her
And a chorus rose behind them
And a chorus of no consequence answered
Repeating viral weapon
Turn on by savagery
Turn it off and get the fuck away
