I thought I knew it all
But I tried to run before I learnt to crawl
And now I'm looking from the ground below
At a world that's passed me by
I didn't know that time would fly without me
I've hit the ground, I'm running on empty
And now I've lost my spark
Left in the dark
Truth's been exposed
I guess I should've known
So many signals and warning signs
I ignored all the guidelines
I should've learnt my lesson
Instead I ended up guessing
And now I know I've found
The answers in the dust I've kicked around
And now I wish that I could change it all
But I can't, not anymore
I threw away the key after I locked the door
Up off the ground, rewrite the ending
And now I've lost my spark
Left in the dark
Truth's been exposed
I guess I should've known
So many signals and warning signs
I ignored all the guidelines
I should've learnt my lesson
Instead I ended up guessing

This fucking band is an instant classic. Every song is amazing, each of their albums have a ton of hits that should be chart toppers. Sounds like Sublime and the Flatliners. Curtis Unger
This is a damn fine release. It feels genuine; at times even emotional (in a good way). It's fun and witty while also being pissed off in all the right ways. It's political, critical, and nonconformist. Yet it still manages to feel original in an arguably oversaturated genre. Nicholas Whittemore
Halloween comes early with the raucous debut effort from Melbourne's Rot TV, a scuzzy horror-rock freak show in 12 parts. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 23, 2022
Sydney group Bloods decamped to Seattle to make this brief, punchy EP that pairs punk attitude with sky-high hooks. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 20, 2020
