CULL - Demo (2024)

Born out of the ashes of Outside Looking In comes CULL. This is my newest band and one I feel really proud of. Making it all with my close friends means everything. The songs we've got together on this demo are a mix of stompy hardcore with a dash of street punk. Lyrically the songs are socially driven by working class issues and a cloud of hurt I've always felt in this world and seen through my loved ones. I will always fight to believe there is light in this darkness and these songs help ease the weight on my heart I feel.

WHAT’S LEFT

Working class life

Working class death

No savings no retirement

Buried in debt

What’s left 

For us?

Bought and sold

Off by the rich

Our broken bodies

Dying in the ditch


DEAD END

Dead end 

Living in the dead end

No future

It’s all caving in

Depression, recession, addiction 

There’s no light in this place

Trapped inside
With no escape


COGS 

We submit our bodies to the machine

Locked down we’re not free

Our souls have been stripped

Running empty on discontent 

Our hands are cramping

Our backs are breaking

Our knees are failing

Our lives are fading

It’s all for what?

It’s all for what?


NOWHERE 

In this place we’re looking for hope

Searching for ways to cope

Poverty and abuse all around

Gripping in and holding us down 

Go nowhere

Going nowhere

An impoverished system holds us behind

Lack of opportunity pushes us outside

Defeated we lack self-worth

Dredging and toiling in the dirt

Gotta get out 

Gotta be free

Gotta escape

Before the walls burry you and me

Broadcasting to the Masses!

 I've decided to create a Youtube extension of the blog. It occurred to me that not everyone wants to or can download the zip folders I've always used to upload the music. I thought people might enjoy being able to stream the content instead. All future post will be posted with both a download link and a Youtube link. That way you can have the files for your collection or just causally check them out. I'm going through now and uploading a number of old post onto Youtube and creating new ones too. Stay tuned for the broadcast!
