Told you i had some new shit comin’ Voice still sounds like i was sick for months [cus i was sick for months!!] but fuck it it’s called PUNK babe

This one is about that whole thing where you grow up in silence pretending you’re “normal” and so does everyone else and we all fuckin’ suffer. feat. some things i wish i could shout backwards in time a couple of decades. pretty stoked to play this one at humans in a live setting i’m not gonna lie.

while i’m at it, i did this several months ago just as my throat was getting gnarly. it had a real nice effect and i wish i could do it on command [and also that this wasn’t the last time i was able to sing for months.] Baby Matt Skiba songs are the best songs.

well shit, so it’s been something like a year since i posted on this account... life has been pretty hectic the way life is and i’ve had a lot of issues with my throat that have stopped me getting on with things like playing shows and blah... feel like i should mention that despite appearances this project is very much not dead! i still have every intention to engulf the world in sonic obliteration and such i’ve had my head down but i’ve been practicing and writing and with any luck i’m finally getting this throat under control and i’ll be back to destructing in very short order.

#thanx to the couple of followers i got this week for reminding me this account needed attention #thanx to those who care #i'm thawing out i promise

oh look, it’s a new one! well, kind of... i wrote most of it last winter, but it’s taken me this long to tweak them riffs. still not 100% cus my fingers were too cold for fiddly hammer-on parts and i forgot the first line of my own damn chorus somehow but hey look she ain’t dead things there is movement there is light better things are coming

i decided to try and be productive between sobbing sessions while i was home alone last week and this little slice of unparalleled angst is the result. It’s far from perfect but that’s never gonna happen when you’re channeling this sort of angst and anyway my makeup was on point so like just let it unfold you

I know I said I was actually gonna post here and I haven't but this isn't my usual mix of laziness and mental health issues, I've had a legitimate tragedy/setback and I can't really art right now. Ways forward are being found, new string babies will be obtained [if you want to assist me with that I'm sure I could do something cool for you in return], and nothing will ever stop me from rising. Watch out planet earth.

base art from the first page of that zine i did last week or whatever. This kinda made me want to do the whole zine in colour but i know that’s not the Done Thing so maybe i’ll just use it to drive me to make some more intricate collagey bits to go up here in the months between songs. this won’t be as visceral to anyone else but it’s from a childhood nightmare that honestly nearly killed me a handful of times. Rad.

So I promised some of you some art or some noise or something.... I promise I'm not being lazy I've just been real busy I'll put something cool here real soon I promise come back soon and we'll party
