Olga Garcia Saw them open up for Dead Sara in San Francisco and they killed it! Go catch them live one day :).

This album is energetic, punk, grunge, raw, and rock mixed together. Jessica, Rebecca and Mike are pretty awesome! Favorite track: The Truth.

Conan Neutron Listen: if you are looking for sharp, incisive and very smart music. You've got it. Rebecca Bortman is one of my favorite front people going right now, just a powerhouse dynamo of energy and talent. It's been great seeing this band develop and level up. They could become... Unstoppable! RIYL: Blondie, X-Ray Spex, DEVO, Bikini Kill, uh... man... killer live shows? Get off my back already wouldya? Favorite track: That Activity.

Hiya Kaw Kaw 02:51
I grew up birdlike With a skin so thin To a family squawking Serious wisdom When you got something That you can't keep tinned Momma says Better out than in. Better out than in. Chorus: Hiya Kaw Kaw Kaw Kaw Kaw Kaw Kaw Kaw Hiya Kaw Kaw Kaw Kaw Kaw Kaw Kaw Kaw Swallow your sharpness One too many times It'll come to peck you From the gut inside Venom is vicious But that debris in your heart Is like a vulture schooled in martial arts [Chorus] Dollhouse dawn, getting hammered on, dream no no no no no. Fork in your chin with da folks laughing, cry no no no no no. Cut through a snake with butter knife steak, that’s a no no no no no. Dinosaur show with your chocolate beaux, no one said no no no no no. [Chorus to the kaw kaw]

Chorus: I don’t know what you think you’re doing After school but I bet you’re screwing Some girl who clearly isn’t me I’m too shrewd for that activity That activity, that activity...me and my jealousy...about that activity I've chosen books over boys But these sheets don't look quite as coy As you when you say to me I get off work at three That's right when school will let out I’ll try to maintain my doubts About your true sympathies And not say take me please [Chorus] I could drive home in your cloud Vaccines blasting so loud My neighbors mailbox would shake As you secure the brake Making yourself a strong case The struggle shows on my face Your fingers become my comb [Chorus]

Monsters will take over your land Your buildings, they will turn to sand. You’ve seen a lot of things You didn’t think would happen, But it is all changing now and changing here. Chorus: We’re on the ground. We’re on the ground. We’re gonna take you down with us. Don’t, don’t don’t don’t mess around: We’re gonna take you down with us. No one will ever tell you the truth If you do not ask them to. You can stay at home in your room. You can cry at home if you want to. But no one will ever tell you the truth If you do not ask them to No one, no one will tell you to truth Unless you less you bless you bless you, ask them toooo! Chorus: Don’t mess around. Lost on the ground. We’re gonna take you down with us. Don’t, don’t don’t don’t mess around: we’re gonna take you down with us. Oh you guys, oh you guys, oh you guys guys You gotta shut up now. Explosions everywhere. There’s fire in your hair. Someone is telling you: you’ve got to duck and screw. Butter, butter, butter, oh, oh, oh oh Butter, butter, butter, oh, oh, oh oh Butter, butter, butter, oh, oh, oh oh Butterballs are the first to go. Chorus: Take it down. Take it down. We gotta take you down with us. Take it round. Take it round. Take it round. We gotta take you down with us.

The Truth 02:34
I want to tell you Something that might, might scare you I want to tell you the truth You’re going fall, gonna fall, gonna fall In a well. Nobody gonna save you. No hell. Fall, fall, fall, fall, so far. Fa, fa, fa, fa, fa, fall. Fa, fa, fa, fa, fa, fall. Fa, fa, fa, fa, fa, fall so far. Through the drains and the pipes to the ocean Nobody's gonna see you til you’re floating. Ones that do will be breathing through their gills. I'm the girl on the rocky bluff half babe, half fishy stuff. All lonely. Not homely. You wanna be my one and only. But the girls you have hurt have told me You need to hear sirens sing Chorus: Fuck, yeah, you know it. Fuck, yeah. you show it. Oh oh oh. Oh oh oh. Think you know. Think it so. Think you know. Oh, oh, you think you know On an episode of the love boat Oh, oh, you think you know. No mermaid in her right mind will go. No mermaid in her right mind would know No ya no ya no ya no ya don’t. [Chorus] Fuck, yeah, you knew it. Fuck, yeah. you blew it. Oh oh oh. Oh oh oh. [Chorus]

Perk Up 02:54
Chorus: I don't mind if you corrupt, 'cause I know it all goes around I love the way that you perk up When it's time to get down. We've found this old-time healing And it's running through our bones In our memes we hide our feelings In our lust, h baby baby, we have found home. Oh baby, when we’re alone. Oh QB, let it be known. Curtains ain't closed. There's something else. There's something else, There's something in the water now I can't help from drinking it. But I taste a problem round here. [Chorus] Your pigskin sheets and my nosebleed seats What I’d do to see your feet no cleats. Now there's someone blue. Someone screwed, Someone new. Someone booed. I don't know whose now I don't know drinking it. But they found a daughter right here. [Chorus] Why why why try? When you can't hide. You don't know what you ruined. Going going la la la la... Oh you, do you know the pain you put me through. Going back to wiretap. Cage up all the words you crapped. Thought the gloves could make the kid. Turns out touchdowns actually did Untangled my heart and soul. Rust has burned it through with holes. One thing that I know is true That perk can't lie the way you do. Nick-knack nick-knack nick-knack boo, I am not her. Forgot you. And I will not come back for another dose of your penicillin hack. Yeah.

In tall grass, you sight your victim Then to the den, to nawl and lick them But at at at at your core You want some more. I can not name our criiiiime. But what was once subliiiiime Is now not worth my tiiiime. But you wanted some more. I listened before Calling for war You better hear me roar! There’s a lion inside you. Feed it, it bites you. There’s a lion inside you. Feed it, it bites you. Be it, it likes you. I see for the first tiiime That on your social cliiiimb You lost your hopeful miiiind You better watch out now. Out now. Oh oh oh oh. Out now. Out now. Oh oh oh oh. Out now. Out now. Oh oh oh oh. Cause you wanted some more. I listened before Calling for war You better hear me roar! There’s a lion inside you. Feed it, it bites you.. There’s a lion inside you. Feed it, it bites you. Be it, it likes you. There’s a lion inside you. Feed it, it bites you. There’s a lion inside you. Feed it, it bites you. Be it, it likes you. When you gonna be the same. When you gonna be the same. You better watch out now. Out now. Oh oh oh oh. Out now. Out now. Oh oh oh oh. Out now. Out now. You better watch out now. Out now. Oh oh oh oh. Out now. Out now. Out now. Out loud There’s a lion inside you. Feed it, it bites you. There’s a lion inside you. Feed it, it bites you. Be it, it likes you. When will you learn. When will you learn. Giving up to... You better watch. You better watch. You better watch. Out now. Out now. Oh oh oh oh. Out now. Out now. Oh oh oh oh. Ouch!

Alone 02:13
I am not impressed by your puzzles. I have already figured out. Kissing like they do in the movies. Gets your body turned inside out. Want you, want you, want you to out me. I'll give you a piece of my mind. Living like we do, gets you through. Chorus: Wondering what you're doing now. Heard you found yourself a new crown. Wonder what she thinking When the feelings sink in Wondering what you're doing. Wondering what you're doing. No one came, no one wrote, no one even said hi. No one laughed, no one sneered, no one cared to cry We were there. Then we left. And we forgot the things That we had told each other when we exchanged those— I am here. I'm alive. I've forgiven you now. But I will always remember how— I will always remember... [Chorus] Wondering who you're doing now.
