Rash Decision - Holiday In Cambornia

 

  Rash Decision (https://www.facebook.com/rashdecision) are the hardcore punk quartet from Falmouth (Cornwall) who featured on here back in 2018 with a track from their Karōshi album (https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2018/06/rash-decision-medium-raw.html). 

  I then played a new track from them last November on the show, it was titled Beasts Of England and I mentioned it was going to feature on an upcoming album. Due to be released in March, it was titled Year Of The Silence, but in a rare case of vinyl actually turning up on time they decided to release it today. I've been having a listen and it's every bit as good as I'd been expecting. 35 minutes, 18 tracks and bursting with energy and anger. 

  It's an album that's politically charger. Sample lyrics include this verse from opener Graveyard Upside Down; 

"I wonder what's really going on, inside their heads and how little they value us. What are we to them? But coins and clowns, an excuse to be heartless. I wonder how they sleep at night? they laugh at the body count, does it really get them off? They know what they're doing and they're laughing to the bank."

  Elsewhere they state that "Anti fascists are the cure not the disease." They comment on recent events in America "I can't fucking breathe, voices are silenced and crushed under knees" whilst on a more personal level they note that "It's hard to get out of bed when we’re all being misled."

  

  The album's available in blue vinyl, cd and as a name your price download :  https://rashdecision.bandcamp.com/album/year-of-the-silence

  This track comments on the country deciding to leave the EU and the effect it's had on the band's native Cornwall. It's called Holiday In Cambornia... 

Welcome to the brain drain The edge of the fucking world Lawless desolation Toothless addiction 700 million bucks per annum Ploughed into Cornwall by the EU Fucking thrown away by the Brexit morons Severing their own racist throats Did they give a fuck? DON'T THINK SO Do you see remorse? FUCK ME NO Time to drain the swamp GOOD TO GO Working class Tories digging their own graves Tourists are not welcome Suicide mentality Cutting off the lifeblood Choked economy They don't like anyone different Twisted time warp existence Think they give a fuck? DON'T THINK SO Do they feel remorse? FUCK ME NO Time to pull the plug GOOD TO GO Time to drain the swamp Let's burn it down and start a-fucking-gain IT'S TIME TO BURN IT DOWN BEGIN AGAIN IT'S TIME TO BURN IT DOWN BEGIN AGAIN Welcome to the brain drain The end of the fucking world Enjoy your vacation Cos it is time to Drain the swamp And burn it down And start a-fucking-gain

Rash Decision - Medium Raw

  With the Just Some Punk Songs show and Wayne Elliott's Pulsebeat show both going out on Hong Kong station Radio Lantau, Wayne and myself compare playlists before the shows so we don't duplicate any of the songs. If there is anything in both, one of us will usually swap it although this week we had both included a song that neither of us wanted to leave out so it featured twice. Today's update is that song.

  If you want to check out the shows, I've just uploaded the latest Just Some Punk Songs here : https://www.mixcloud.com/mick-fletcher/just-some-punk-songs-030618/

  Wayne will no doubt post the latest Pulsebeat sometime today here :  https://www.mixcloud.com/Wayne_Elliott/

  And the song we both felt the need to play? It's taken from Karoshi which is the new album from Falmouth (UK) hardcore punks Rash Decision. The band formed in 2006, are influenced by the likes of Municipal Waste, Black Flag, Minor Threat, Zeke, Slayer etc and the line up features Dave Decision (lead vocals/guitar), Kev Cregan (bass/backing vocals), Simon J Sky (guitar/backing vocals) and Tom Candy (drums).

  The digital version is name your price on Bandcamp :  https://rashdecision.bandcamp.com/album/kar-shi

  The band are currently touring Europe and you can find the dates here :  https://www.facebook.com/rashdecision/

  With pedal pressed firmly to the floor, the song rapidly pounds its way through 75 seconds of blisteringly intense hardcore before surprisingly meeting up with popular Irish chanteuse Enya as she travels the Orinoco Flow. Everyone sails away into the sunset. This is called Medium Flow....

Pulled out of nothing, my life starts now. 
Finally a chance not let you down. 
You think you have the knowledge not to fail. 
But that was all to no avail. 

You bleed and you blister in the blasting steam. 
You grow tired and sore and bitter and mean. 
You lose track of who you think you are. 
You cannot see through the scars. 
A masterclass in patience and a lesson learned in life. 
A year of suffering on the edge of a knife. 
You learn to live with the barage of cunts. 
Untill the breaking point when you're left with nuthin. 

Line is drawn. 
Cooked medium raw. 
Burned to a crisp. 

Forced to grind. 
Forced to die 
Fuck you all. 
A masterclass in patience and a lesson learned in life. 
A year of suffering on the edge of a knife. 
You learn to live with the barage of cunts. 
Untill the breaking point when you're left with nuthin. 

Sail away.
