Open Letter 02:11
Self medication for your depression Did that ever really get you anywhere? Are you still there? Or are you fighting with yourself inside your head? It's too late now for anything anyway It's too late now You said you're high because you're high And now you're low because you're low Is your life happy? I don't think so You said you hate yourself I feel the same You said you hate yourself I feel the same You said you hate yourself And that's understandable 'Cos I guess I hate you too

Start Again 02:48
I wanna start again These days are getting colder and I see no appeal in my life or getting older You see I'm far from an innocent man, I never had a life nor a life plan But even if I did, Do you really think it'll stop this commotion in the end? Today I know nothing will go my way I sure hate myself And I sure as fuck hate everything else Around me, In my mind it's so plain to see That a needle skips every time I think, every time I speak I wanna skip to the end 'Cos I'd rather be dead than conform to the rules Or let you choose how to live our lives 'Cos I'm not invincible Nobody's fucking invincible And even if we were, Do you really think it'll stop this pain inside our heads? And I don't really know Or understand What the fuck I'm doing here I should have stayed at home Complaining to myself about how I'll always feel alone It's how I get comfortable So I get comfortable
3.
I'm dying for this to end Time kills us quickly And I'm mad again and I'm sad again You never gave the chance to let us see things through And now my heart feels dead And I feel bad for those fooled by you I know there's nothing left And there's nothing we can do about it Except complain about our drunken antics I know there's nothing left And there's nothing we can do about it It won't be long until we pick ourselves off the floor

Defeated 03:26
A feeling grown to detest But still I get myself into this mess And still I'm better off now Like a sandcastle made from dry sand, I was unable to make a stand But still I'm better off now I never felt so damn defeated, I never felt so damn rejected Gave everything but still you wanted more I never felt so damn defeated, And I wish my hba1c Was as low as my own self esteem But still I'm hanging on just And I hope this dose of insulin Will save me from this hell I'm living in But still I'm hanging on just

4 track Blue Vinyl 7" available directly from Brassneck Records [UK] & Watersldie Records [Japan]. Limited to 330 copies

Honest Thieves are a new band from South Wales formed from the ashes of DIVIDERS & PIPEDREAM. They're long time friends of Brassneck so I'm going to pass description duties over to Will Fitzpatrick (Good Grief / Flamingo 50)...

"Sometimes all you wanna listen to is something with the subtlety of a giant boulder rolling from a great height, careering down your high street and smashing through your garage door. Ok, fine – power and volume are nice enough. But what about hooks? What about songwriting smarts? What about that rush that sends shivers down your spine when the chorus hits and fists go up in the air to hold beers aloft as a sweat-drenched crowd screams a chorus into the night sky? Well, looks like Honest Thieves might just have you covered.

Their debut EP pulls influence from the ragged throats of Hot Water Music, Leatherface and Iron Chic – worthy touchstones all – but there’s also the concision and melodic knack of The Marked Men’s Jeff Burke in there too, not to mention a fair few ideas that are comfortably their own. First track Open Letter kicks off proceedings magnificently in classic punk rock style, giving you yet another reason to declare your allegiance to its deafening, heart-swelling roar, before Start Again and Won’t Be Long throw a few curveballs in amongst their adrenaline kicks.

Defeated might just be the pick of the bunch, however, adding a spacious jangle and crafty minimalism to its plaintive hook, before a rush of power chords finally kick in for a coda befitting the word ‘anthemic’… and then suddenly the whole thing is over and you find yourself flipping back to Side A and returning the needle to the start, cramming the words into your brain as fast as you can so you can be part of the cult and give your life to ‘em. Honest Thieves are onto a winner here – let’s hope there’s more to follow soon".
