Please Stop! - Positive Attitude

  Please Stop! are the Minnesota band that appeared on here last year following the release of their No Front Teeth Records 7" Power Suit And Dead Bodies (http://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2017/08/please-stop-high-horse.html). It featured 8 blistering in your face, hardcore punk hand grenades. Fans will be pleased to learn that debut album, Built To Die, is pretty much more of the same.

  Again on No Front Teeth, the album features 11 tracks.  Furious brevity is still the name of the game (the album is available on a limited edition 7" with a frosted transparent cover). StaySee's distinctive vocals are still at the forefront, the lyrics still appear to be about "real life horror" whilst Danimal (guitar), Cheetah (bass) and Reckless Jane Danger (drums) attack their instruments with pleasingly wreckless abandon. You can check it out here :   https://pleasestop.bandcamp.com/album/built-to-die

  They've a couple of record release shows coming up and you can find more info here : https://www.facebook.com/pleasestoprocks/

  This is the opening song, it's called Positive Attitude....

dirty kitchen,broken dishes on a tile floor
you got the trees but they're rotten inside
the clothes! the hallway's a mess
it's alright, its okay
keep a positive attitude baby
I don't know what you mean
sagging eyelids
gray grey hair cover it up
you got the means to make illusion but
the makeup still runs cuz it's not waterproof

Please Stop! - High Horse

  Please Stop! are a new band from Minnesota featuring Staysee (vocals), Danimal (guitar), Cheetah (bass) and Reckless Jane Danger (drums). It's not the first band that several of the members have been in but it's a new start for them and they've recently released a debut 7" ep on No Front Teeth Records titled Power Suit And Dead Bodies. You can check out the digital release on Bandcamp (There's 8 tracks, though if you support the band they'll throw in another 3 as a bonus) : https://pleasestop.bandcamp.com/

  The ep is hard hitting, female fronted punk that's not afraid to take on difficult topics such as pill popping parents and knife wielding hitchhikers. The music is raw and threatening and compliments the dark subject matter of the lyrics. Vocalist Staysee has a unique vocal style that suits this kind of edgy punk perfectly.

  The band are currently playing plenty of shows in the Midwest and you can find more details here :  https://www.facebook.com/pleasestoprocks/

  This song is called High Horse....

Hey! I'm an impostor 
but now that I've told you 
You can't act surprised when you notice 

Narcissistic, pretentious, high horse, wanna be, loser 
I wanna be a poser, you want me to be not real 

I'm not as cool as you 
but now that I've told you 
You can't act surprised when you notice
