Say goodbye. I'm giving up because I get lost from all the tension in this room that's building up. I've been sitting in one place for far too long. Don't get me wrong I love my home but it's grey and miserable. This state of mind is all i've ever known. An empty face in every place I go. Every where i go all I see is constant downpour. Everything that I once loved "Its never giving up" I lost it in this place. It holds true pain and it's scarred within my skin so take me away. I lost my faith right in this place. It's all i've ever known. I lost my faith in here it holds true pain and these skies they cloud my mind. All I see is constant downpour. I can't find peace no matter where i go. This fucking downpour is never giving up.
The beginning of something great!
From the opening post rock instrumentation of the 1st track to the emoting pleading lead vocals; you can tell immediately that Gates is something different & special.
At times reminiscent of Thrice & Thursday vocally "Fear" sets the sonic blueprint for how "Post - whatever" bands with vocals can be so powerful in both form and presence.
Gates angst is fresh and liberating! Agent K
