Wanted to meet with you the other day
But I did not know what to say
So I went down to the library
To find the right words to say
(Jones!)
Didn't find what I was looking for
Grab my things and head out the door
Feeling Hermes had put a curse on me
I headed to the university
(Jones!)
I swear there was nothing on the shelves
Might have to find the words by myself
The halls were empty without poetry
They couldn't capture what you mean to me
(Jones)
And then I found it in a song
(Kuja, Enda, Kuja, Sababu Nakupenda, Kuja, Enda, Enda)

Big and fuzzy and full of right angles and off-kilter hooks, there's a lot of '90s DC/Baltimore DIY tradition in this newer DC band. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 26, 2017
Powerful in every way, this DC hardcore group's first full-length is the siren song to having no home as a person of color—in punk, in society, in America. It could not have arrived at a more appropriate time. Bandcamp Album of the Day Jul 15, 2016
Ragged and forceful, this D.C. indie rock "supergroup" takes aim at gentrification and the subsequent deadening of underground culture. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 10, 2016
