    Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    A Rhythm in the Cages finally got the vinyl treatment thanks to the fine folks at Secret Pennies Records. This is one of my favorite records that we've done, and it sounds SO MUCH BETTER ON VINYL! All blown out and fuzzy and warm and comfortable.

    DISCLAIMER - The US Postal Service sucks, so there is a possibility that your record will arrive with a few dents in the cardboard corners, etc., but I will do my best to package it well! Think of it like bonus punk points.

about

A country song for broke, crazy motherfuckers.

lyrics

I have been making presentations for a final escalation, I have been praying to the god of giving up.
She says, “Lock the door behind you now, before the criminals/cops break in your house”.
Oh, I have looked so hard for a place where I could die. But the winners up there of high-end living won't allow the broken insane to arise.

So fuck this city. Fuck this job. They break you down before you even reach the top.
In a god-fearing land, there ain't no lodging for the mad;
you can't get high enough to breathe before you drown.

I'm gonna go back to that factory, where they make moving parts
that will take you very far away.
In the flash of a pack of matches, I will be gone.
