Another rat in a race that I could never win
An unending struggle just the fucking life I live
So sick of feeling sick
Hands worn clean to the bone
Remove this doubt from my mental
Can’t let me fucking roam
But how much more can I take
I’m catching charges
Before I catch a fucking break
Spirit of ‘88
I’ll fight, I’ll scream, I’ll spit
Before I ever quit
Surviving day to day
Getting well acquainted
With the end of my rope
But you won’t get the satisfaction
Of seeing it around my throat

Wonderful dramatic opening, the voice of a black woman in all her honesty, vulnerability and openess. And then one of the fiercest tracks of Zulu, total hardcore: 'Now they are through with me', full of twists and turns, and suddenly ending in a kind of soul-track, brilliant! This is 21st century music at it's best. The end lecture is dramatic and disturbing, spoken again by a black woman. Makes you think. Hesperus
Knockout debut from a Buffalo, New York-based hardcore band who like their riffs sick, their drums fast, and their choruses sticky-sweet. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 28, 2024
