I write this full of rage for this fucked place we call Amewrekkka. Where a raging d-bag named Elon Musk who fully supported and benefitted from Apartheid while growing up in South Africa can stand up and do a Nazi salute in front of the world. While the news media gaslights us all and blames it on his “autism.” I also FUCK OFF to Donald who plans to deport the POC who seek refuge in our country. The soundtrack for my anger is CAVEMAN’s Something’s Got To Give out now on To Live A Lie Records! On the very first song “Question” they stomp all over your reality with bruising track that is lacel with killer lyrics that I can relate to!
QUESTION EVERYTHING QUESTION EVERYONE THERE’S NO POINT IN LIVING UNDER SOMEONE ELSE’S THUMB QUESTION THEIR MOTIVES THE INTENT BEHIND EVERYTHING THEY DO QUESTION THEIR AUTHORITY THEY BETTER KNOW THAT I WON’T DO WHAT THEY TELL ME TO
– CAVEMAN “Question“
This band manifests an insane wall of rhythm that’s melodic and sinister at the same time. On tunes like “SBC” I can’t help but think about how this band is so Bay Area and I love it (I say this from a place of North California LOVE). CAVEMAN is what Hardcore Punk is supposed to be about, it’s pissed off, lean, and fucking mean. As I bump Something’s Got To Give, a smile comes over my face because the breakdown has me head banging in my past life and in the present day.
DOOMED TO REPEAT MISTAKES OF THE PAST I WANT OUT OF THIS OUROBOROS WITHIN THE CYCLE COMMIT YOUR SIN LIVE IN BLISS BEGIN AGAIN BECOME AWARE COMMIT YOUR SIN NO WAY BACK A DEATH REBIRTHS
– CAVEMAN “SOMETHING’S GOT TO GIVE”
This band doesn’t write songs, they write Hardcore Punk Anthems that are full to the brim with Caustic Black Magic Boogie that will keep you dancing for daze!
