This is one of the last of the recordings with original drummer Joe Rivera
lyrics
You’re such a distraction
With your smile & your eyes open up so wide
I find it hard to keep my mind on things, it just ain’t right
Lord help me change my ways
(I wanna do this right)
Hey lady you got some time?
I think we can get along just fine
And I’ve got just the place to go
But do I want this anymore?
This time I’ll take it slow
Maybe I’ve learned from the times before
Maybe I’ve still got time to learn some more…
Each time I want to be much more
I find myself runnin’ towards that open door
…to hey buddy you got a dime?
Yeah, I think that one should do just fine
And I’ve got just the place to roll
BUT DO I WANT THIS ANYMORE?!?
Or do I want to change my ways?
Or do I want to stay the same?
Maybe I’ve learned from the times before
Oh Lord I want to change my ways!

The collaborative EP from two Seattle bands is an unexpected delight of dancey guitar rock with an appealingly tossed off vibe. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 3, 2024
Indie rock suspended between youthful ennui and youthful rage, hooky but cerebral and taut with rhythmic tension, just like the 90s. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 23, 2024
Tempering insidious rock hooks with shoegaze's feedback-driven delirium, these Bay Area upstarts find beauty in the loudest of messes. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 22, 2023
