Hurry Up - Oh Screw It

  


  Hurry Up (https://www.facebook.com/getweirder/) are a punk trio from Portland, Oregon who's line up features Kathy Foster (drums/vocals) & Westin Glass (guitar/vocals) who were both in The Thermals (https://thethermals.bandcamp.com/) and Maggie Vail (bass/vocals) who was in Bangs (https://bangs.bandcamp.com/).

  Seven years after their Self Titled debut album they've just released a follow up. It's titled Dismal Nitch and it's both very interesting and very good. It kicks into gear straight from the get go with opening track American Weirdos grabbing hold of you and insisting you come along for a thrilling journey through an album that'll be on a good few best of the year lists. This is a very talented trio who play with skill and invention and who can pen a snappy lyric. It's one of those albums that might get overlooked (especially on this side of the pond) so I hope you all check it out and spread the word about how good it is : https://hurryuppdx.bandcamp.com/album/dismal-nitch

  

  This track is one of the more simplistic on the album but it's dripping with a fuck you kinda attitude and I'm a big fan. It's called Oh Screw It... 

You say you’re gonna love me but you don’t show up
All my friends have told me that they think you suck
I keep betting on you but I got no luck

Oh, screw it
I don’t need you anyway
Oh, screw it
I don’t need you

Working too hard at a job I can’t stand
This isn’t what I had planned
I’m walking out today, no money, no man

Oh, screw it
I don’t need you anyway
Oh, screw it
I don’t need you

Death
Makes me turn my neck
From those
Who waste my breath, yeah
If you’re gonna take me for a fool
Then I’ll take the piss right out of you
Oh, death
Makes me go…

Oh, screw it
I don’t need you anyway
Oh, screw it
I don’t need you
