Slaughterhouse - Sick and Tired

  

  Hell, it's December. Already. Where's the year gone?

  I suppose I'd better get sorting out some sort of Top 100 chart for the blog and a couple of special Best Of 2024 shows. 

  One song that I'm sure will feature is this one :  https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2024/05/slaughterhouse-state-of-emergency.html

  It featured on the blog back in May. It's by a band from Los Angeles called Slaughterhouse and it's great. 

  As is the new single by the band. The single being the title track for an upcoming ep on Pirates Press Records. The ep will be out on February 7th and will feature 4 original songs plus a cover of Black Flag's My War. I'm listening to it as I type and can confirm that it's not just the title track that kicks ass. 

  It'll be available on a single sided 12” EP with etched B-side and you can pre order it here :  https://shop.piratespressrecords.com/collections/new-featured-music/products/slhop414bl-lp

  As for the title track, singer Meriel O'Connell says it's a more personal song; “You get a lot of people talking in your ear about what you should do, say, look like, how you should behave…I don’t think we’re put on this planet to try to make everyone happy or feel comfortable.” 

  I think it'll be on Bandcamp tomorrow (Friday) https://sslaughterrhouse.bandcamp.com/music

  Strap yourselves in and click play. This is Sick And Tired... 

Slaughterhouse - State of Emergency

  

  Slaughterhouse (https://slaughterhouseband.com/) are a punk band from the south bay of Los Angeles who've been around since 2017. Their line up features Meriel O’Connell (vocals), Eddie Cairns (bass), Taylor Ramirez (guitar) and Nick Aguilar (drums). They're starting to make some very big waves having shared a stage with the likes of Pennywise, Social Distortion, Adolescents, Dead Kennedys and Alkaline Trio and having their recent single Poison played on BBC Radio 1's Rock Show (and on the Just Some Punk Songs show!). 

  They've just returned with a cracking new single and it's only going to keep them on that upward trajectory. You can find it here : https://sslaughterrhouse.bandcamp.com/track/state-of-emergency or here : https://linktr.ee/911slaughterhouse

  To quote my good friend Ralph J Rivera, "They carry on the great tradition of female fronted LA bands mixing classic Hardcore with Death-Rock...Meriel handles the vocals like a banshee..."

  This is State Of Emergency...

all quiet on the street
creeping on your hands and knees
on open roads
cut me open watch me bleed
don't look you won't see it
waste on display
seems like hatred's never ending
watch in dismay

it's a state it's a state
it's a state of emergency
it's a state it's a state
it's a state it's a state
get away get away
it's a sate of emergency
get away get away
I want to get away

now we're living in a nightmare
I see the fire in the street
is there anybody out there?
don't try to hear me scream
I said we're living in a nightmare
I hear them whisper in my bead
is there anybody out there?
all quiet in my head

it's a state it's a state
it's a state of emergency
it's a state it's a state
it's a state it's a state
get away get away
it's a sate of emergency
get away get away
I want to get away

one step forward
ten steps back
come a little closer
panic attack

it's a state it's a state
it's a state of emergency
it's a state it's a state
it's a state it's a state
get away get away
it's a sate of emergency
get away get away
I want to get away
