Classics of Love from Berkeley, California will be releasing their brand new self-titled record tomorrow on Asian Man Records, but you can listen to the entire thing right here right now!
Featuring Jesse Michaels of Common Rider, and some other band called “Operation Ivy“…seriously, that should be all you should need to know, but if it’s not keep in mind that Classics of Love “are the kind of punk band that remember their roots, but aren’t looking to concentrate strictly on them…straight-up punk, but also nods heavily towards ska, post-hardcore, and the gritty aesthetic of the classic, East Bay punk scene”. Check out the full tracklist and lyrics to two songs here.
Classics of Love first released the EP “Walking in Shadows” back in 2009, and tomorrow’s release will be their debut full length.
Dissolve: I was born in simple times,
Now the hour is late.
Bound by private tyrannies
The wealthy own the state
-DISSOLVE
Saw the men of the consequence
From beneat the tower,
Grew to hate their arrogance
Their vanity and power
-DISSOLVE
Attention!
Now I’m walking all alone
Enemy of the seal
Ally to the truth seeker
Bonded to the real
-DISSOLVE
Attention!
Castle In The Sky:
People said that the oil was cold
We strung our instruments and
got ready for the embarrassments
In the middle of a lunatic world
We didn’t reach for the champion’s pearl
Excavated a private hallway
chose “sometimes” over “almost always”
(Chorus) We’ll try it anyway
Don’t care about success and failure
Just want a chance to impale the jailer
Don’t long for yesterday
Or hope for a good tomorrow
This very hour is less than borrowed
Move slow
Every hour is a year to the crows
Small stage
Ice age
Never listen to the things people say
Of everything that had ever been said
Took a look at the people’s archive
Nodded politely and chose the swan-dive
There are no heroes in the room
Just ghouls in the rock & roll tomb
Do we look like statues to you for slide projection
And pin-cushion voodoo?
We’ll try it anyway…
(Chorus)
