Confessions of a whore

From the street into the grave, another rock n roll parade

Another line that went too far, running fears and burning cars

A confession of this whore "what the fuck were fighting for!"

One more dream that led to waste, one more dream that led

Cut my heart from my sleeve, never were my relief

I bind my eyes together, to hell and back,

but my dreams were meant to fly

I cry theses tears forever, to hell and back

I can see it in my eyes, just a heart to sacrifice,

When you've lost your soul not rock n roll just bleed and fight

Are we meant to live in pain, in this world who feels the same

Have I lost my mind when I've done my crime, I've done my..

Cut my heart from my sleeve, never were my relief

I bind my eyes to together, to hell and back,

but my dreams were meant to fly

I cry there tears forever, to hell and back

From the street into the grave, another rock n roll parade

Another line that went too far, running fears and burning cars

A confession of this whore "What the fuck were fighting for!"

Well my dreams weren't meant to last,

Well my dreams weren't meant to

 

 

 

Kick it Out

You feeling good? Could be the best night of your life

I think we should, get off our heads and see the light

In troubled bars, were breathing fire, were all stars

In life's parade, an endless circus, NSA

Kick it out, kick it out, we'll burn this house into the ground

Hit the town, hit the town, we'll pump the music to the crowd

I'm just a slave, of this desire in my veins, into my heart

A suicidal megastar, coming up fast, I'm running further

From my past, into my dreams, the dark messiah never frees

Kick it out, kick it out, we'll burn this house into the ground

Hit the town, hit the town, we'll pump the music to the crowd

To the crowd, we'll burn it down

Kick it out, kick it out, we'll burn this house into the ground

Hit the town, hit the town, we'll pump the music to the crowd

Bullet

The raindrops they scar my eyes, in gunfire shattered sky

This Armageddon's moving, too close I can barely see

Feel, real, who heals, with greed?

Feel, real, who heals, with greed?

Hit a low, time to go, the blood flows, no time for hope

Fire in the heart of everyman that stands against your

Lies as we watch the whole world die

Fire in the heart of everyman that stands against your

Lies as we watch the whole world die

The smoke it fills my lungs, the cities drowned in floods

In silence we are ghosts, the city loves the most

Feel, real, who heals, with greed?

Hit a low, time to go, the blood flows, no time for hope

Fire in the heart of everyman that stands against your

Lies as we watch the whole world die

Fire in the heart of everyman that stands against your

Lies as we watch the whole world die

Hit a low, time to go, the blood flows

Fire in the heart of everyman that stands against your

Lies as we watch the whole world die

Fire in the heart of everyman that stands against your

Lies as we watch the whole world die

Fire, Fire, Fire, Fire

Fight and defy all the pain and all the lies you breed and buy

More time, line your pockets, sacrifice your brothers

I defy all the pain and all the lies you breed and buy,

More time, sacrifice your brothers, line your pockets

Eye for an eye will make the whole world blind and I can't

Eye for an eye will make the whole world blind and I can't

Eye for an eye will make the whole world blind and I can't

See…………..

  

Sadomasochist

Can I be yours, your dirty little tattoo'd boy, it chains our souls,

Imprisoned by the love you hold,

In pierced heart, injected by the love you start, you ink my skin,

I bruise your lips as I go in

Fuck, Life, Take, Mine

I'm a sadomasochistic motherfucker, gonna bleed myself

And hit you with the other 

I'm a sadomasochistic motherfucker, gonna bleed myself

And hit you with the other

My lust just shines, I feel the pleasure in your eyes,

From hand to throat,

Restrain your screams you think I won't, In coded words,

I've reached the moment you come first, I'm soaked in you,

My dirty little tattoo'd girl

I'm a sadomasochistic motherfucker, gonna bleed myself

And hit you with the other 

I'm a sadomasochistic motherfucker, gonna bleed myself

And hit you with the other

Fuck my life fine

I'm a sadomasochistic motherfucker, gonna bleed myself

And hit you with the other 

I'm a sadomasochistic motherfucker, gonna bleed myself

And hit you with the other

I'm a sadomasochist, I'm a sadomasochist

 

 

 

The Hate Policy

I think it's time to lay our hearts on the line

Not tell these motherfuckers everything is fine

I got one question that I want to be heard

I'll cut your tongue out motherfucker lets go

You know the hate is more exciting than love

You help me breed this shit I can't get enough

And wonder why your kids are fucked up on drugs

You suffocate their souls you can't get enough

Wha-oh-ah-oh     plant the seed

Wha-oh-ah-oh     on hate we breed

Wha-oh-ah-oh     get on your knees

Wha-oh-ah-oh     and suck my

You are the town I grew up in as a kid

You sniffed around knew everything that we did

I raise my middle finger high so you can see

My new aggressive hate policy

Wha-oh-ah-oh     plant the seed

Wha-oh-ah-oh     on hate we breed

Wha-oh-ah-oh     get on your knees

Wha-oh-ah-oh     and suck my

Wha-oh-ah-oh     plant the seed

Wha-oh-ah-oh     on hate we breed

Wha-oh-ah-oh     get on your knees

Wha-oh-ah-oh     and suck my dick

Yeah yeah yeah

Current mood:  productive
We have the concept for our debut album artwork ready. All we need is a couple of models. Obviously a rock/alternative image is needed. As is a willingness to pose either topless or in a convincing 'not' topless but looks topless kind of way. (all photos will be taken from the back so don't worry about it being pervy lol).





Willing to pay for your time/travel and we will have a photographer there so it wont be us with a crap digi cam or anything like that. So come on gals if you are interested, drop us a line, send a telegram, smoke signal or any other means of communication you wish.





Album is due out August 15th 2008 so we really need it done by early July at the lastest. Thanks alot.

The Hope


Monday, September 24, 2007 

The third band on offer are The Hope, a hard hitting frantic rock group who offer up a combination of molten riffs and punchy social poliitical lyrics covering such subjects as "class, race, sex and burning shitty little cities to the ground". Their opening salvo is the blistering Burn This City, which see's the band unleash an incredible ball of frustration and anguish in the shape of slashing riffs and pained vocal yelps that simply lay waste to this listeners ears. This Machine is the sound of The Manic Street Preachers after a shot of pure adreanline, whilst Another Sex Song completes the band's trio of alternative rock belters with a fine display of quiet-loud-quiet dynamics.

What made you want to form a band?

 

I came to a point in my life where I was so disillusioned and unhappy with not only things around me but the way I let them control me. Before I was 16 I used to a loner, I used to spend most of my time reading, listening to music or trying to learn guitar. Then I came to a point where I found alcohol, drugs and sex. I spent the next few years trying to fit into the small town, big men scenario. I was no longer doing things for fun but to try and escape the shit of everyday life, however the irony is your just stereotyping yourself and not giving yourself a voice. Getting wasted without creativity. I wanted to find my voice and start doing something meaningful.

 

Your band has quite a reputation, especially in the Cambridge scene, for enjoying yourself! Do you think the party lifestyle helps or hinders your music?

 

It's the great contradiction……going through the old clichés is a bit odd to me because most of my friends that are not even part of the music scene are seriously having it off big time. Sex, alcohol, music and substances are part of world heritage be it for the good or the bad of us. The problem comes when you start treating people badly and start throwing away the values you started with in the first place. Many of our songs try and address certain conflicts and reflect on when things go too far.

 

Your most recent recording "The Good, The Bad and the dirty" seems to address issues of sex, addiction, power and loneliness, and is a step away from previous recordings which were very much more political.

 

The title song of the EP was written with pretty much parallel themes. Sleaze scandals were hitting the news and politicians were obviously doing the naughty…and a lot of it. At first I found the issues hilarious, I mean we all know 90 % of them are egomaniacs who'd sell there granny for a vote. However these things go on in my street all the time but the self-righteous media wanna big speaker to sell papers. But looking a bit closer so many people have the same problem. The establishment has drummed into us from an early age that sex is taboo. A kind of look but don't touch thesis. I mean you can't even talk about it seriously and openly. At school we learn the biology like a science or a fairytale. Is it our stuffy british nature built in that deeply? Are we ment to be oppressed by sex. It's the whole 'behind closed doors' mentality that pisses me off.

 

 

"Another Sex Song" appears a step away from the previous material The Hope have done. It has a real melancholic feel to it. Is this a softer side to the band?

 

Yes…and no fucking way! That song came about because everytime I turned on the radio I heard another song about "Oh I love you or I want to sex you up". To me all I could hear was "I wanna be in control and why don't you love me anymore…" It means nothing to me….don't get me wrong some songs about love and the meaning from artists such as Marvin Gaye, Bob Dylan, the cure and the Libertines have depth and emotion not mindless wank about fuck all. Before them poets such as Dylan Thomas and E.E. Cumming used to force you to empathize, feel the emotion and want to rip out your heart or at the very least get very drunk in depression. So I wrote the lyrics "another sex song, another love scene and into repression." I mean who wants to hear what I call 'Hollywood music' ….plastic, wankstic, pantastic shit. Sex addiction is better than happy endings!

 

At your last gig I remember "No Money, No Class, No Hope?" and "Shitty Little City" being sung loudly back to you by a mad group of luvvies. Do you feel these songs connect best with the people that come and watch you?

 

The more simplier and slower songs are always the best because I don't rant down the mike at 100 miles an hour so people have a better grip of the melody and words. Both have very chanty chorus's and also a lot of people have come to a few gigs got either the cd or the download. But more importantly they understand and empathize with what were singing about. They know what its like to grow up in what seems like a soulless society, where everybody only seems to want to rip people off, tell you what to do and how to feel. These people know what its like to be an outsider looking in..and throwing up. "No Money!" is almost a celebration of us all being broke,  being shown no meaningful direction and all our apparent leaders are doing it for their own selfish agenda, whether it be parents, headmasters or prime ministers. I feel weve become part of a wider community, especially in Cambridge and the people who've come down to see us have become part of that and a great deal have become our mates, the circle is only getting bigger and its our mission to get people together with an open-mind, a warm belly and fucking party game-plan.

Here is the first review of our new cd - The Good, The Bad And The Dirty.

 

When I think about bands most likely to inject some passion, some belief, some commitment and some bollocks back into the local music scene, The Hope are always near the top of my list. Coming on live in leaps and bounds, they are now an awe inspiring stage presence a lean, mean onslaught of noise, energy, melody and attitude for all their drunken self depreciation, they are in severe danger of becoming a really good live band. Influences include The Clash and GunsnRoses, but the sound and feel of more contemporary shit kickers such as Johnny Panic and Towers of London can also be detected in their songs.
 
So heres a new demo that has just arrived and Im still not quite sure what I think of it. Its the first recordings the band have taken so much time and effort over, and you can tell it. And this is going to take some time to get used to; as I compare the new recordings to the older, messier ones I wonder which I prefer. On second thoughts I do prefer the new stuff, its got more depth, more of a frantic feel, more melody and more guts to it. While these tracks may lack the directness of the early stuff, they give the songs the necessary depth and intelligence to show off what the band can really do. And lets face it, if were to overthrow this kingdom of mediocrity, we need all the depth and intelligence we can muster.
 
And to misquote George Orwell, if theres any hope, it lies with The Hope.
