Alithea Tuttle (vocals/bass): “The indignant response to feeling misunderstood or taken advantage of by someone but not being able to confront them about it. It’s about a friendship that was built upon them taking more than they give and watching the friendship grow sour as time goes on. The verses illustrate the nature of the relationship; what that person says is what goes and no one can change their mind. The choruses fall back into the repetitiveness of overthinking; if this is all my fault like you say it is then take your aim.”
TUTV: Imagine Hole and L7 have a sonic pillow fight. Wowzers, yes? You bloody betcha. This Californian turbo build a nuclear wall-of-voltaic-grunge sound, enough to take your stereo out and having your poor neighbour call the anti-decibels police. Meanwhile front Amazon Alithea Tuttle adds sensual vocals but gets hurt by a toxic amor arrow. Oh fuck!
Smoking score.
