lyrics
out of my life
lyrics and music by Penelope Houston
Out of my life you go, love
Out of my life you go
What have you got to show, my love
What have you got to show
A broken heart and images
Of one you can't forget
Gather the parts together
And you will see it yet
A glistening tower of light, love
Falling all around
Fading into night, my love
Darkness coming down
You'll cry out in pain
And suffer in despair
When you finish your refrain then
You'll no longer care
Out of my life you go, love
Out of my life you go
You will never know, my love
What was hidden there
I am all around you
In every song and dream
Yes, I still surround you
You're far far away from me
A glistening tower of light, love
Falling all around
Fading into night, my love
Darkness coming down
You'll cry out in pain
And suffer in despair
When you finish your refrain then
You'll no longer care

Every song is great, but the lyrics to this one put it at the top for me.

It Doesn't Matter If It's Cool
by Basic BitchesPunchy garage rock that reaches back to '90s riot grrrl and queercore for its grit, snarl, and righteous riffs.
go to album -
Dead Cross, Retox, and Qui members dish out subversive hardcore with an indignant smirk; come for the riffs, stay for the synth experiments.

This Is All We Ever Get
by SPACEDKnockout debut from a Buffalo, New York-based hardcore band who like their riffs sick, their drums fast, and their choruses sticky-sweet.

A lovely addition to the best project of 2023, that at some points feel like B-Sides, but is overall just as strong as the work that made it on "the record"
