i feel like i've been put under a spell again
i feel like its no use to try
just like a sheep,
i've got no control.
what way am i gonna go?
i need another
escape to call home
i need another
way for my mind to roam
just tear it down, then build it back again.
then go into the light.
i'm fading fast
don't wanna know
what i already know
i need another
escape to call home
i need another
way for my mind to roam
When you wake up in the morning
You know you got that feeling
Got nothing else to do today
And everything's alright
And I got all I need in front of me, tonight
No work tonight
No work in sight
I can see through the clouds
As time passes by
I come to realise
It's alright in here
And I got all I need in front of me, tonight
No work tonight
No work in sight
I'm feeling fine

This transatlantic combo plate pairs Shape Breaker and Fuck Mountain in a joint mission to please your sonic palate. “Spellbound” builds and captivates the attention with reverb-soaked garage-punk, while “Idle Hands” sets a blistering pace intended to maximize the amount of fuzzed-out riffage possible on a single track.
SHAPE BREAKER (PHILADELPHIA, USA)
Out of the derth of fantastic Philadelphia bands, Shape Breaker has something unique going on. The brain-child of Pat Hickey has one constant element: fuzz. The remaining elements shapeshift depending on the varying degrees of oscillating lead guitar, Amishly simplistic (not a bad thing) drum beats, and vocal tracks that blend so seamlessly into the riffs that you would think that Nikolai Tesla invented a new kind of auto-tune.
FUCK MOUNTAIN (DUBLIN, IRELAND)
These veteran slashers from Dublin earned their bones in Crowd Control and Ex- ploding Birds but were undoubtedly psychically channelling Chicago’s Dastard and Dinosaur Jr. and doing some lines of Bleach-era Nirvana and Huey Lewis and the News in creating this project. This rampaging tornado of sound will make every day feel like Friday at 4:45 PM.
Produced by Jesse Gander of Japandroids & White Lung, the latest from Philly’s Fire in the Radio is full-throated rock & roll. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 6, 2020
