FUCK YOUR IMAGE

Many people when starting a band, strive for a certain "image", or have  a preconceived notion of what they want their band to be, or perceived as. Even in this largely anti-image scene of punk rock (yeah, right), this seems to be the case. Whoever tells you that punk is anti-ego and rockstar attitudes is a fucking liar. Many great bands involved in the scene are in fact anti-bullshit, but there are so many wannabe mohawk and studs weekend warriors, or the fucking thug jock sexist macho idiots running around trying to be gangstas. It's a fucking cartoon. Which leads me to the next point. If you do have the nerve to claim the straightedge mantle, or subscribe to some "hierarchical" political ideology, (anarchists can start spitting venom here), people automatically feel the need to pin some sort of attitude on you that you might not have, and have never had. And I'm going to say it now....AK-47 are only playing the music that we want to play. We're not tough guys, hardcore commies who won't listen to other people, or fucking automatons who only obey their master's voice. Approach us next time you see us. We take our music seriously, but not necessarily ourselves. I am the only edge member in the band, and we all get along fucking amazingly well. What we do is what we do. If you don't like it, fine, but don't tell me what I think or what I'm like. You can go and fuck yourself. This rant isn't a response to anyone in particular, or any one situation. It's about years of idiots saying stupid shit without any basis in fact whatsofuckingever. Come see us. You might disagree with some of the lyrics, but that's fine. We will fucking rock you.
