THE SCENE IS A LIE I'm calling up some friends to get 'em to the local bar Hope they won't be late or have a football match to watch yeah not tonite packed up in a van with a twenty tons of gear they told you five o clock but they don't have engineers or a P.A. I am playing with my band tonite and they're only paying us with beers The scene is a lie heading to the studio fighting for a song, we're spending all our money but the chords are all wrong and even the drums we're putting down the cds with shirts and coutillons the locals are excited, but they want 'em for free yeah even the pins I am playing with my band tonite and our name is not out there on the door the scene is a lie The venues are all closing and all the kids are djs they're finished with the fashion of palying punk rock and it's all your fault Bloggers full of envy sitting on your chairs you judge me with your keyboards but I don't give a fuck cause you ain't playing a note I am playing with my band tonite and they're only paying us with beers The scene is a lie all a lie

Pop Punk Song I ‘m so hopeful tonite can’t wait the time, i’m gonna see the new fast four, but the band slouch on the stage, they are three and not so good. in the club everybody’s excited ‘n’ sing, with a finger pointing the band we don’t have the originals that why i feel so sad I just like the wooooo and woaaaa Good music’s full wooooo and wooooaaa Good stuff is dumb or simple... i think is just enough I wrote a pop punk song...for you

WHO KNOWS? THERE’S SOMETHING STRANGE RIDING MY BRAIN AND I’M PRETTY CLOSE TO GO INSANE “ANYONE BUT ME! WHO SHOULD I BLAME?” MY MIND KEEPS ON WORKIN NITE AND DAY, CAN’T FIND SOLUTIONS OR A WAY TO ESCAPE, BUT I CAN’T STOP HOPING FOR A CHANGE RIGHT NOW I FEEL BORED TO LAZYNESS; I CAN’T STAND WHATCHING HOW MY LIFE COULD PASS,BUT NOW IT’S TIME TO MOVE MY CHESS NOT A PUBLIC SERVICE OR AN EMOTIONAL TEST NOT A FUCKING TALE NOT A REVENGE I GOTTA DO IT FOR MYSELF MAN DON’T YOU KNOW, HOW DOES IT FEEL TO FALL DOWN ON YOUR KNEES? SOMETIMES YOU KNOW HOW DOES IT FEEL TO SWIM IN COMPLAINTS? YOU’RE ALWAYS SO GLAD JUST TO BEAT YOUR ENEMIES...THAT’S WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN SOMETIMES YA JUST KEEP ON WAITIN’ INVAIN FOR A NEW CHANCE OR ANOTHER WAVE, YOU WILL REALIZE THAT NOTHING CHANGES AND WHEN YOU WAKE UP AND SAY “NO WAY! NOT ANOTHER MORNIG ANOTHER FUCKING DAY” LOOK AT THE MIRROR AND FIND THE ONE TO BLAME! GOTTA BE SO BRAVE LIVING DAY BY DAY, FIND MOTIVATION TO WALK YOUR WAY I KNOW IT’S SO HARD WITHOUT LOSING YOURSELF JUST WHEN YOU DARE TO PLAY THE GAME, THE ONE YOU FEAR (DREAD) THE ONE YOU HATE HERE COMES THE TIME YOU LEARN AGAIN

about

un nuovo EP in vinile formato 7" (ma a 33giri!) che celebra i 15anni dell'uscita del primo lavoro discografico dei Crooks!

Quattro pezzi di cui il primo è il rifacimento di "The way i choose", il lato B del dischetto del '99 ormai andato esaurito e onorevolmente asceso tra le rarità d’epoca e altri tre inediti; un percorso ad ostacoli di tre lustri che documenta tutta la passione per il punk rock che anima i Crooks da sempre.

Di acqua sotto i ponti ne è passata molta, trasportando anche qualche cadavere di nemico galleggiante (the scene is a lie in fondo), ma è meglio non pensarci…anzi perché non festeggiare?

Stampato in Due versioni (verde e azzurro trasparente) in collaborazione con White zoo records e impreziosito dal codice di download dei 4 brani del disco e come bonus tracks un fantastico live del 1998 registrato al CSA Garibaldi di Milano restaurato dal nastro originale dopo essere stato fortunosamennte rinvenuto in un putrido scantinato della Tre Accordi Records.
