She tried to imitate the sun But ended up in a ghost town With figurines of the father And some broke ass poet talking bout Putting that gun down Her lips kissed the feet of a savior at night She met a middleman in mischief With his mistress in tow What he borrows, she steals She learned turning tricks on the telephone His lips kissed the feet of a savior at night Molotov cocktails and the devil’s delight She’s talking backward behind his back When the clock strikes seven she starts stabbing We sold ourselves to the company brands And prescribed ourselves to the medicine man I do too so you know I'm dammed Standing in line at the lemonade stand He had a rare collection of memories That he’d rarely take off the shelve Some were fond but most were painful Some were a gift to himself Her lips kissed the feet of a savior at night Molotov cocktails and the devil’s delight She’s talking backward behind his back When the clock strikes seven she starts stabbing

about

CONTRA is the sound of punk rock aged gracefully. Billy Ficca drummed in Television and scores of other seminal New York underground bands. Lead singer Arthur Googy was The Misfits' drummer during their finest-hour Walk Among Us era. Guitarist Brian Goss' band Dripping Goss was the best thing about going to see (opening for) Fugazi, and his next Fuzz Deluxe, a New York sensation circa 2003, launched indie star Simone Felice. Bassist George Musa played in Hell's Kitchen NYC, an intense, intimidating and popular local group that got lost in the grunge daze. Together, they've created a neo-headbanger groove with post-modern attitude that kinda edges on funky. Most hot young today bands try to sound old-school — so you might as well go back to the source and let some forward-thinking pioneers display how its done. CONTRA is punk and hardcore taken to its logical evolution.
