SPIN is currently debuting a brand new MP3 from The Lawrence Arms which you can listen to here. The song is titled Demons and will only be available to those who purchase the bands new Buttsweat and Tears EP digitally. Band member Brendan Kelly has written a very detailed blog on Band Sandwich Chronicles about the release which you find in its entirety here, but here is a little taste of what Brendan had to say about the song:
Well, to me, the song is about the desperation that people succumb to in order to cling to their youth and the general despair and malaise that informs their desperation when faced with the irrevocable truth of fading glory. Whether it’s an aging skank sucking wangs to keep her name out there or some old washed up dinosaur rocker becoming impotently enraged at his sudden irrelevance and picking fights with people he doesn’t know for no reason in hopes of staying in the public eye, or whether it’s me, trying to behave like I did when I was twenty one, even though I’m thirty three with a kid and all sorts of bruises and aches and I can no longer hang like I used to, or nader, shirtless and picking fights at a wedding. That’s the demon, right?
Take a look at the Full Story page for the song lyrics.
Buttsweat and Tears is set to be released October 27th on Fat Wreck Chords.
