Noise-rock influence punk band Demons has announced the upcoming release of Swallow, a new album due on cassette/digital on Sept. 2 courtesy of Knife Hits Records.
The band, from Norfolk, VA, play heavy, raw punk, on display in "Inauguration Day."
Vocalist/guitarist Chris Matthews says, in a statement:
This song is a lamentation. I had recently read about a project of collecting jars of soil from the sites of lynchings throughout U.S. history to commemorate the victims. One wonders what it might look like to add to that list of victims those who have been brutalized by modern-day, state-sanctioned White Supremacist murder. We named this "Inauguration Day" as a working title; but it seemed fitting to keep it as a tongue in cheek reference to the empty promises of reform. How many more lynchings will be live streamed before we finally ‘burn it all down’?
