Liner Notes

It's hard to find a good gig when every scene is crystalised into their own sub genres and you don't quite fit any of them.

Verse two is some literal feedback we got playing a psychobilly festival. I love that scene, and they're overwhelmingly lovely people, but that comment has stuck with me.

Lyrics

I’m a square peg baby
Do I fit in here?

NO!

Yeah I’m a square peg baby
What about over here?

ALSO NO!

Am I punk? NO!
Garage rock. NO!
Ambient industrial Dugeon synthwave?
ERM…No?

I know I like my stuff
But I keep on changing it up
I know I like my vibe
But Dammed if i’ll ever find my tribe

“You gotta find one sound, and stick to it”

FUCK NO!

I like you lads, but you don’t quite fit

“WE KNOW!”

Are you blues?NO!
Psychobilly NO

Blackend post-folk Deathcore

Actually that i want hear what tha…

I know I like my stuff
But I keep on changing it up
I know I like my vibe
But Dammed if i’ll ever find my tribe

Amazing. This really speaks to me. Thanks for singing your truth.

Ooh, this would be more funny if less true, I think. You had me smiling right from the first NO! I love the Fuck No to the stick to one sound suggestion. Exactly that.

too real... shades of Black Flag's TV Party with the call-and-response.
now you've got me curious about what blackened post-folk deathcore might be like. 🤔

Fun song. Very relatable to me. There is absolutely no scene for what I do where I live and what I do is actually kinda cliché.
