Amusement - Budge

    

  Amusement are a melodic punk band from Portland, Oregon who's members have previously played in bands such as From Ashes Rise, North Lincoln, Bothers, Deathreat, Young Livers & Arctic Flowers. Influenced by the likes of Hüsker Dü, Leatherface, Seaweed, Superchunk, Dinosaur Jr, Samiam, Pegboy etc, they've been together for 4 years and have released 3 eps. 

  Those eps have now been collected together and are now available on one handy 12" record from Brassneck Records (UK) and Shield Recordings (Netherlands). You can find it on coloured vinyl (ltd to 300 copies) here https://brassneckrecords.bigcartel.com/product/amusement-first-3-eps or here   https://distro.shieldrecordings.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=2979

  It's also on Bandcamp : https://brassneckrecords.bandcamp.com/album/amusement

  I played Standing on Top of the A Bomb on a recent show so today I'll highlight the bonus track that wasn't on the eps. It's a version of a song originally released by Dinosaur Jr on their 1988 album Bug. It's called Budge...

Grab a ride
See the wings, most fly
Try to picture me with you
Let's stop
We can crush at high speed
Hope we can feel enough for two
Yeah I gave you a nudge
Not sure what to touch
Hey, made my last nudge
Why won't you just budge
Grab a ride
See the wings, most fly
Try to picture me with you
We can gaze
Then trade to space plane
Tons of rubble to sift through
Yeah I need a bug
Not sure what to touch
Hey, made my last nudge
Why won't you just budge
Grab a ride See the wings, most fly
Try to picture me with you
We can gaze
Then trade to space plane
Tons of rubble to sift through
Let's stop
We can crush at high speed
Hope we can feel enough for two
