lyrics
Empirical Dismay
What song was playing in the midst of battle, in the midst of fire?
What common good, what freedom for another century or two?
Who admires and relates? Who aspires or tolerates?
Human nature in portraits, so absurd alright!
So let’s believe in nothing, for either way we’re going to start a war.
Who claims the moral ground? The monster or the saint?
Who claims the moral ground? The sword or the pen?
Let’s write on every page, empirical dismay.
All hail the ghost of humaneness
Let’s fight for every page, empirical courage.
All hail the fire and the rage.
What song was playing in the midst of battle, in the midst of fire?
What common good, what freedom for another century or two?
Who admires and relates? Who aspires or tolerates?
Human nature in portraits, so absurd alright!
So let’s believe in nothing, for either way we’re going to start a war.
Who claims the moral ground? The monster or the saint?
Who claims the moral ground? The sword or the pen?
Let’s write on every page, empirical dismay.
All hail the ghost of humaneness
Let’s fight for every page, empirical courage.
All hail the fire and the rage.

Demo (remixed/remastered)
by Jawbreakersupported by 16 fans who also own “Empirical Dismay”
Such a fun demo, glad I discovered this version when I did. Also love Chris' track, even though he kinda sounds like Ed from Ed, Edd, n Eddy at times hahaha (no offense Chris, love ya man). I love Equalized, Split, and Better Half, but Caroline is such a cool track with that killer bassline.

Singer/guitarist Chris Richards used to play in the post-hardcore band Q and Not U. TK Echo's inspirations go further back, towards XTC and Elvis Costello circa 1979. The band has a great sense of rhythm and melody, with spiky rhythm guitar and deliberately cheap-soundng organ and synthesizer. "Era" gets angrier and closer to punk rock.

The Chicago queer power pop band gets genuine and giddy on their debut album.

South Philly band Grocer has all the sly disaffection of classic ’90s indie rock in their wonderfully unruly songs.

I Object to Everything
by AxonsA catchy jangle-rock concept album from the Chicago band, inspired by one of the most unbelievable jailbreaks of the 21st century so far.
