Down your road it's dark, got beat up in your park
They said walk, you ran, into the arms of a chain gang
I don't know - Why me?
I'm just a victim of a chain gang, a victim of a chain gang
A victim of a chain gang, a victim of a chain gang
Down your road it's dark, got beat up in your park
They said walk, you ran
Down your road it's dark, got beat up in your park
They said walk, you ran
And It was so dark, It was so dark, It was so dark, It was so dark
I don't know - Why me?
I'm just a victim of a chain gang, a victim of a chain gang
A victim of a chain gang, a victim of a chain gang
Come On!
I'm just a victim of a chain gang, a victim of a chain gang
A victim of a chain gang, a victim of a chain gang
Down your road it's dark, got beat up in your park
They said walk, you ran, into the arms of a chain gang
I don't know - Why me?
Down your road it's dark, got beat up in your park
They said walk, you ran, into the arms of a chain gang
I don't know - Why me?

regenerated in 2006. We all grew up listening to The New York Dolls, The Stooges, The Ramones and Patti Smith and we find this aesthetic still informs our sound. This all feeds into the Machines mix, helping to create a powerful live alchemy...more
Hectic, infectious power-pop in the grand TX style of The Marked Men & co., from Riverboat Gamblers/Rise Against members & other notables. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 30, 2016
TV Priest's second record springs forth with a tension, dynamism, and crunch not often found in this brand of broody, shouty post-punk. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 16, 2022
On their debut record, the London hardcore upstarts cross-up mosh-ready fare with melancholic ambient passages, weeping guitars, and virtuosic vocal harmonies, but its romantic veneer is much more complicated than it seems. Bandcamp Album of the Day Jan 30, 2019
Across their second full-length, the London post-punks offer up thrumming motoriks, industrial tones, and sullen sing-a-longs in abundance. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 17, 2024
The Minneapolis band add a horn section, a running surrealist allegory about walls, and an occasional nod to the elegiac to their electroshocked post-punk. Bandcamp Album of the Day Mar 4, 2024
