are you terrified
you're terrifying
the clever ones always last
end up among the greys and the can'ts
equal to the task
equal to none
always taking what the taking can get
before the leaving have left
but we're not history just yet
all too fondly
haunted and haunting
in honor of one to last
in honor of the middle of the pack
A group that I know only too well, I’ve been with them for nearly 30 years; from their Glaswegian basement origins to their current status as Arena band. My enthusiasm for their later output may have tempered somewhat as the mighty ‘Gwai evolved their sound to avoid pigeonholing, but there is nothing better than when they lay waste to a venue via the sheer euphoria of ‘Helicon 1’. They’re still devastating live and, after all those years, THE authority in Instrumental Rock music. Logen Ninefingers
Melodic post-grunge that eschews all of the negative connotations of that phrase and embraces all the positives: huge hooks, huge-r riffs. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 8, 2023
