As you might already know earlier this week we came out with a couple of singles! They’re called Seven Fishes and Lockheed Mockingbird respectively and It’s the first music we’ve released in a while and we’re really excited to have it out finally! Seven Fishes relates the U.S.’s current state of socioeconomic corruption and deprivation to a gamble for the lower classes and Lockheed Mockingbird is a song for the people of Palestine and the horrors the residents of the West Bank have had to endure for the last few years.

Lyrics:
A poor man’s God Complex trapped by the mountains of Man (WV)
40 years old livin’ off of gamgams pension and a hairline like an airport runway
Found himself on the right side of the phone with nowhere in sight and a healthy case of atychiphobia
In comes the sated
It’s Flounder here again
rep many hated
It’s Flounder here again
Down on his ass
It’s Flounder here again
‘Says he’s brought here to suffer
“I mean look, this place sucks, ok? I don’t even know why I come in here anymore the scene is fucking dead. I mean back in my day back when my band was going, back in ‘05. Shit was different. These days, these kids, they don’t fucking get it alright? I mean you know but they don’t get it.”
-
He says he’s brought here to suffer
Your all a pawn to him
-
“Hey over here give me three more PBRs!”
-
He says he’s brought here to suffer
A hock in the gambit of life
-
“Hey, do you wanna go do some fucking coke in the bathroom? Let’s do some fucking coke in the bathroom! I got two more shot and beer specials coming! Ok? We can go listen to my CD!”
-
There is a God forlorn and molded from empty bark by misplaced and fallen dreams
McDowell by Lash Meat is in direct reference to the predatory nature of healthcare in economies of rural, and mainly, the poorest places in the US. Jamie Mink was a person in my early life that showed a side of music to me that I wouldn’t have found on my own and gave me a renewed sense of self within it. He had been addicted to opiates and opioids for most of his life from a car crash he sustained in childhood and he died a few years after I moved to Savannah. If it weren’t for Jamie I wouldn’t know who the Melvins, Queens Of The Stone Age, Red Fang, and countless other bands I consider cornerstones of inspiration for me. Not only that but he was one of many first hand examples throughout my childhood of how an unchecked feed of completely legal and encouraged over prescription of pain medication can and is intended to destroy someone’s life. Addiction is not a moral failure and until we know as a society how to treat our neighbors with love, respect, and empathy for their suffering this cycle in America will continue.
Flounder by Lash Meat is about bad actors, the drudgery of misanthropy, and the self destructive nature for an obsessive need for control in the people around you.
Lockheed Mockingbird by Lash Meat is in reference to a report I read about a year and a half ago of the Israeli army using suicide drones with speakers playing the sound of crying babies to lure Palestinians out of hiding. Humanity really knows how to find something worth consideration to either circumvent or destroy it, funny animals.
