A RIGHTEOUS FUCKING NOISE

Last night was AK's practice night, and I'm really happy with the way things are coming together. We all get along fantastically, and  are on similar pages politically. No, we are not all Revolutionary minded, but we all know that shit is fucked up, and needs to fucking change.
  We've got about eight new songs in the works, and hope to put out a 7" on Ty Stranglehold's label. Hopefully, our first show will be the Jay Brown Memorial show on January the 29th. Joe's already taken the 30th off of work, so now we practically have to play. As mentioned before, if you liked us before, you will continue to do so. Here are the lyrics to a new song by the name of  "Rejected":
desperation etched in faces dying in our shame
never had a fucking chance born into hate and failure
without a home without a name or some fucking self respect
the predators come around
some of them wear uniforms

cast off rejected
disposable like everybody else
the call for revolution will reach these wasted lives
war fucking war to raise our broken hearts
war fucking war to raise our broken hearts

No surprises musically or lyrically. The passion for hardcore still burns, and the way the world is today, the inspiration will always be there.

I'll end this with a heart wrenching quote from Bob Avakian, Chairman of the Revolutionary Communist Party, USA:
Look at all these beautiful children who are female in the world. And in addition to all the other outrages which I have referred to, in terms of children throughout the slums and shantytowns of the Third World, in addition to all the horrors that will be heaped on them—the actual living in garbage and human waste in the hundreds of millions as their fate, laid out before them, yes, even before they are born—there is, on top of this, for those children who are born female, the horror of everything that this will bring simply because they are female in a world of male domination. And this is true not only in the Third World. In "modern" countries like the U.S. as well, the statistics barely capture it: the millions who will be raped; the millions more who will be routinely demeaned, deceived, degraded, and all too often brutalized by those who are supposed to be their most intimate lovers; the way in which so many women will be shamed, hounded and harassed if they seek to exercise reproductive rights through abortion, or even birth control; the many who will be forced into prostitution and pornography; and all those who—if they do not have that particular fate, and even if they achieve some success in this "new world" where supposedly there are no barriers for women—will be surrounded on every side, and insulted at every moment, by a society and a culture which degrades women, on the streets, in the schools and workplaces, in the home, on a daily basis and in countless ways.
