Are we so unknown, and is it indefinite? In a world so alone, born here to die in it. We trade our souls for symmetry and sugar coated remedies. Are we so unknown, and is it indefinite? Shot nerves, hurt feelings. Eyes tacked to the ceiling. Line hooked and I'm reeling. It's time I started living. (Started living.) The pendulum, it's swinging. The sound of bronze is ringing. I've still got air in my lungs, there's got to be a meaning. Are we so unknown, and is it indefinite? In a world so alone, born here to die in it. We trade our souls for symmetry and sugar coated remedies. Are we so unknown, and is it indefinite?
I'm coming out of a decade long musical hiatus. The last punk band to really move me was from the Bay (American Steel), so it's no surprise that I returned there for inspiration. Can't Swim is absolutely worth a listen for fans of Lawrence Arms or Taking Back Sunday. I'm sure there are much better comparisons - if that's you thing - but as I said, I've been out of the game for a long time. Thank you to Can't Swim for inspiring me to play again. Dave Wreckoning
The style of singing and lyrics fit this song so beautifully. It get's out all the pain of losing someone you care about while wishing them well. The whole album is solid however and I'm super happy to own this. RMP
Taking cues from Midwestern emo and early ’10 pop punk, this Leeds, UK outfit are full of heart— not to mention hooks. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 21, 2022
A new track from Pretty Matty finds the band in top form, delivering clean yet crunchy hook-laden power pop with trademark high energy. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 25, 2020
Really great upcoming pop punk band. Wish he wouldn't strain his voice so much though, or it might be gone in a few years.
Hope to see a bright future for them! Pierce Da'esigil
