Action! Reaction!
Watch on as the stakes keep climbing
Disaster! Distraction!
Thought I could leave it all behind me
Mutual destruction!
Assured by every party
Emancipation!
Not very fucking likely
Ain't it funny how the lights go out
When we don't agree
Ain't if funny that the lights go out
And we still can't sleep
Breath in
Breathe out
Hold fast to the rules and follow
Keep faith when it falls apart
Medication!
Left in our guts to rot
Emancipation!
Bound tight with Windsor knots
This is one of the best albums to come out last year. Rarely does a modern day hardcore band write something this catchy and solid all the way through. 10/10 robolitious
Another kickass effort from the Toronto punks, steeped in the traditions of straight edge, post-hardcore, and ’90s alternative rock. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 8, 2023
Toronto band Respire deliver a post-hardcore tour de force on the largest scale possible, orchestrally rich and incessantly uncompromising. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 6, 2021
