S. Williamson Snag's self titled full length debut record is comprised top to bottom of urgent, purposeful, melodic, abrasive, compelling songs about injustice and climate disaster. for fans of the loud, for fans of old school spastic hardcore come new. great record. Favorite track: Fire Escape.

MZTN 気候変動Skramz、snagの2019年作が遂に到着。現行激情シーンに共鳴する自由さのあるムードの音の中にも、今世界で起こっている様々な問題、そしてそれに正面から対峙せず斜めから向かい合う彼らの音には、虚無感が漂う。とは言っても悲観的な叫びをぶちまけるだけの子供の音楽ではない。乾いた美しいギターの音色と、これまでのハードコアルーツとは別のところから湧き上がってきた表現を詰め込んだ楽曲たちのサウンドはとてつもなくカラフル。インスト曲を挿入しながら展開していくアルバムの流れがあり、そしてアルバムの最後を美しい1曲で締めくくるのも素晴らしい。今の世界、絶望を叫ぶだけなら簡単。希望をどう表現するのかが一番難しい。自分がどこから来てどこへ向かうのか、どこかで間違ってしまっているんじゃないのかっていう問いがある。間違いなくエモリバイバルを通過した上で鳴らされる今のScreamoだ。 Favorite track: Flowers in the Springtime (for David Buckel).

1.
By daybreak, they pulled a shopping cart full of gasoline into the park Before dawn, in the dark, on the lawn there was a spark: a lit fuse of burning flesh. And notes in folders to the press So the bad news they had left Made the rounds but faded fast. When the sun rose it was ignored The system stops for nothing It chews and chews and chews chews and chews but never swallows wasted away I tried to tell you
2.
Fire Escape 03:30
I hear you crying on the fire escape You light a match and then you throw it away when you’re alone at the end of the day try and fight the urge to self immolate i don't forgive you what i gave you

I saw a box of styrofoam cups split open on the freeway, dropped and demolished by trucks. Brake lights blossomed but no one stopped. The f l o a t i n g white shards looked like seagulls dipping and diving on an open artery and I crushed them with my car into tinier and tinier bits that floated away into the sun would one day make it to my bloodstream. where are you going?
4.
I want to break down every border I want to open every cage I want to pull down every statue And plant roses in their place But i’ve been trying to keep my body clean I’ve been trying to keep my mind empty because i don’t want to think about what’s justice. i don’t want to think about the future. It’s not my responsibility and I don’t want to have another break down i don't want to have another freak out where did we go wrong? where did we go wrong? where did we go wrong? where did we go wrong? where did we go wrong? where did we go wrong?

Morning 01:33
6.
Fewer bees, and telephones with bigger screens, and pesticides. The more that I learn, the more I believe the earth is a corpse laid at our feet. We’ve gone away. The comb crumbling away.

Hunger Stone 02:55
All we loved and all we dreamed is dust. If you see me, weep. If again you see this stone, so you too shall weep. So shallow was the water in fourteen seventeen.
9.
I can’t wait for tonight I can’t wait for a new life I can’t wait for somewhere to be alive a car wreck. a jumper. a selfish final act. We’ll starve with water in our lungs waiting for the end.
