Thunderwhelming Written in 2025 , Lyrics by Mike , Music by Dustin, Joe, Mike
Thunderwhelming has been performed at 4 shows and has never been officially recorded and released.
Lyrics Last night I went to a show. The bands were raging. The music was booming. The crowd went crazy. I almost fell asleep on my feet. 5 years from now we won't remember the show or the bands. It all feels so performative, going through the motions. It looks like maximum effort, but there's no soul behind it. Is it possible for us to find it? Or is it gone forever, replaced by a cold commodity? And here you start to sense an opportunity. The music's garbage but it seems to make some money. And if you go up there and play the same old slop, you can ride that rocket ship right to the top. If you're in this just 'cause it's a good career move, it won't be long before the kids can sniff you out. You won't be able to fool all of them forever, and they will leave you in the dust without a doubt.

Fewer Hands Written in 2026 , Lyrics by Mike , Music by Mike
Fewer Hands has been performed at 12 shows and has never been officially recorded and released.
Lyrics More and more power into fewer and fewer hands. Privatizing what should be public services and lands. Buying up media. Trying to control our minds. Leeching off government. Robbing taxpayers blind. Idolize them as they laugh. They will never share with you. Why do you cheer them on?

Lyrics Walls of shame are closing in. Time to hit the app again. No escape. Dig your grave. Jump inside. Live a lie. Try to conceal your double life. Now it's time to commune with your fellow hypocrites. Preach again about traditional values. But now you're crashing the website again.

Where’s The Fun? has been performed at 318 shows and appears on s/t demo , Diagnosis: Delicious 7″ , Full Spectrum Dominance 2005-08 , and Live KRBX 2013
Lyrics What's up with this craze that passes for hardcore these days? It's core in name but not in style. If you think it is, you're in denial. Fuck this. Hardcore tradition grew out of punk rock, it's true. Now this kung fu metal crap is edging punk right off the map. Fuck that. Suck ass. Where is the fun? Where is the energy? Where is the outrage? Where's the punk rock urgency? Circle pits are way more fun. You're just trying to hurt someone. Are kung fu breakdowns here to stay? Somehow we got lost along the way.

Lyrics I was right. You were fucking wrong. Don't blame me for your being fucked. It's all your fault. I'm not to blame. This one's all you. It's not me. Point out any scapegoat that you can find. You're still the asshole who fucked it all up.
Fresh Hell Lyrics by Mike , Music by Mike
Fresh Hell has been performed at 183 shows and appears on Forbidden Techniques
Lyrics Child exploitation. Suppression of women. Death and starvation. Roadside explosions. People living a fresh hell every day. A world away, in my life of comfort, I sit here trying and failing to imagine waking up to a fresh hell every day. World of violence cries for assistance. But the 'help' they're getting is worse than nothing.

Lyrics I'm not saying let's ignore injustice. I'm not saying let's turn a blind eye. I'm not opposed to political correctness. I'm only saying you could probably stand to have some patience. Pick your battles. Rethink the power words have over you. Thicken your skin.
