Given a chance to make it end, you fail to make a stand and you are never content. I lost track of all the time i've spent and the time i've wasted. Never content. So sick of feeling suffocated. Never content but you make no attempt to make a change. Never content. Until then you'll be angry. So do something. If you stay trapped in your own shell, you'll never be content with yourself. Apathy is a downfall but I, I'm not standing here for nothing at all. No, I'm not standing here for nothing at all. You have the chance to make it end but you fail to make a stand. Once again, you are never content. I lost track of all the time i've spent and the time i've wasted. Never content. So sick of feeling suffocated. Never content but you make no attempt to make a change. Never content. Until then you'll keep searching for peace. Stay trapped in your own shell, you'll never be content with yourself. Apathy is your downfall. You're standing here for nothing at all. Stay trapped in your own shell, you'll never be content with yourself. Figure it out. Apathy is a downfall but i'm not standing here for nothing at all.
Raw, expressive, and achieves a remarkable balance between melody and sharp hardcore edge. It presents a type of duality that makes euphony and cacophony sound beautiful together, like rice and beans (a complete protein) :) Love the sound, this split demonstrates impressive talent! Kenny McGalem
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
