lyrics

Would you like to come inside? Take a look around the room.
It’s supposed to be a tomb. If you find that creepy, say.
There’s a reason why we’re cruel - we hardly eat at all.
We’re heading for a fall. If you’d like a secret, stay.

And we’re all - lonely. People die before us, it’s our fate.
We’re lonely. So tell us, would you like to stay out - ?

Yeah we like to stay up late. Until the sun comes out
We’re round and roundabout, and then we come back here.
We’re nightbirds that’s a fact - there’s a reason for the black.
It’s not at all an act. Close your eyes, look away.

… late
Stay out late
Stay out late
Stay out late

So would you like to come and play? We’ve a gift to give away.
It’ll really spoil your day but the night will come alive.
We could stay here till you die. And that could take a while.
There’s a reason for the smile. Come and join the tribe.

In Condemnation
by Pandemix

Unique harsh but melodic vocals over a shimmering backwash of dark, angry, intense music. Who Killed Nancy Johnson?

S/T
by Hammered Hulls

Self-titled three-track EP. All three songs are strong, but the first, Written Words, is utterly brilliant - clever, rippling with energy, and an inventive ending. Who Killed Nancy Johnson?

Sinking In LP (LUNGS-145)
by ACRYLICS

Released in November 2019 and a late contender for record of the year. Hard-edged hardcore and post-hardcore with a really inventive approach to song construction. Who Killed Nancy Johnson?
