lyrics

Rough sailors on the Sea of Japan
Set a course for Bataan
Just to see if they can
Striped shirts, fading in the sun
Outgunned and on the run run run

Seven hours to Tokyo now and past the last of the snow
Clear signs of the coming collapse
Painted on the rocks below

Everything that matters is totally shattered
Torn up and cast aside and lying there in tatters.
Everything that matters is totally shattered
Torn up and cast aside and lying there in tatters.
Ta-tattered.
Ta-tattered.

Onward now, to Okinawa...
Check the sextant and the maps, full power.
Forgetting all the oaths we swore
Stepping on unfamiliar shores

Everything that matters
Is totally shattered
Torn up and cast aside
And lying there in tatters
Everything that matters
Is totally shattered
Torn up and cast aside
And lying there in tatters
Ta-tattered
Ta-tattered

Everything that matters
Is totally shattered
Torn up and cast aside
And lying there in tatters
Seeing things with new eyes
And staring down the darkening skies.
Torn up and cast aside
And lying there in tatters.

about

Foxhall Stacks Washington, D.C.

Guitarist Jim Spellman (Velocity Girl, High Back Chairs) assembled these DC veterans in late 2015. Bassist Brian Baker is a legit punk godfather, with close to 40 years on bass and guitar for Minor Threat, Dag Nasty, and Bad Religion. Pete Moffett drummed for Government Issue and Wool before joining singer/guitarist Bill Barbot (Jawbox) in Burning Airlines. Decent pedigree, this lot. ... more

My only complaint is there are too many great tracks. Too hard to pick just 1 favorite. wigilo

Coriky

A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!! smiledozer
