about
“Crime and Soda” is the third single and title track from their upcoming fifth studio album. The band deviates from their mathy, post punk tendencies and starts off with a dark, slow piano piece recalling bands like Arab Strap or The Black Heart Procession. “Crime and Soda” is about giving up on someone who has become consumed by their consumption of “crime and sodas,”; a fictitious drink fabricated for this track.
lyrics
Recognized randomly on the street
Paralyzed by everyone you ever meet
Not socialized enough to ever weigh the cost
Dehumanized until it becomes a total loss
Just order another crime and soda
Out on the range it always lasts
Sorry now I have to quote ya
Investigate another past
Weaponized until we dry up the well
Digitized until we think in parallels
Dehumanized pushing us to the brink
Euthanized so we have a lot of time to think
Just order another crime and soda
Knowing some things had to change
Sorry now I have to quote ya
Drained devotion with a cane
Some day you’ll learn to walk alone
Some day you’ll learn to change your tone
Until then you’re on your own
Until then your cover’s blown
Some day you’ll learn to walk away
Some day you’ll learn to change your ways
Until then you’re on your own
Until then your cover’s blown

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
This album is amazing from start to finish! It's got such a cool, poetic, punk rock vibe. Hits the soul, for real. Please come play in Miami, Florida soon! Thank you for your art! richnice1975
