St.Dog&TheDay (liberty in the sky without diamonds)

The concept for Regicide_etc began in early 2012. Malema’s antics in the ANCYL, Zuma’s never-ending public ridicule and the shadow of SA’s 2008 xenophobic attacks gave rise to the idea of making an outspoken record, prodding at South African issues, not another anti-american, anti-war-in-the-middle-east effort. More needs to be said about it in the universal language of music, and amazing bands and artists have been saying it relentlessly in the metal, hardcore, punk and hip hop circles but sadly, they aren’t properly credited for their profound work because the pop culture shuns the goldmine of conscience in alternative music. So we were like, fuck that! Our music is by no means hardcore, so hopefully we can reach ears in both schools of thought.

No forty-five or medicine for the mess that’s in your head. There’s no way out of a made-up place, as far as we can relate. I’m too sorry, and you’re too naked for even you to see. Caustic and faithless, broken and vacant but as long as you’re still you - then I’m still me. You’re all sedatives and stimulants and your temperament can’t keep up. How many sleepless days will show the nights that you haven’t had enough? Dear aspirin disciple, the black, blue and brown will lose angst and then fade away. The lustre of comfort absent here just means that you’ll never have to say “I’m not okay.” Bruise me.
