We Live In Trenches have announced that their upcoming debut LP "modern hex" will be released on P.Trash Records in late August. Says the label: "Think Fucked Up mix with a Kamikaze Trio guitar plus a part AC/DC). Candidate of the "Rock" LP of the year!!!" Look for samples online soon.
I've been obsessed with this song recently and its triumphant resignation. Like many Broder Daniel anthems, the soaring melody is at odds with the lyrical content and that makes me question its intentions and sincerity. Sometimes I hear it as a celebration: I love my dead-end town, it is my destiny. You know that any talk of "the grass is always greener..." is total bullshit anyway; why set yourself up for disappointment? There is power is knowing what you face, knowing your enemy. On the other hand, it's much more easily read strictly as a down-and-out heartbreaker: No initiative, no fun, no future. Living in this town is barely living at all. I go back and forth, but generally find myself siding with the former. I love my own small town. It's potential can seem stifling, so I understand why so many move on from here to other opportunities, but there are also plenty of possibilities open to those willing to take charge, take risks. In that spirit I hear this song as sarcasm -- yes, I know my city, sometimes all too well, but that's also why I love it.
Broder Daniel - Only life I know
