lyrics

I've had it
With the Nihilism in songs today.
The sadness,
It has to go away.

There's too much potential
Contained within hardcore
To whine about how "hard" life is
With our eyes fixed on the floor.

When did we lose our sense of urgency?
Why do we settle for less than all our 'core can be?
There's too much work to do for all the time gloom wastes.
It's up to me and you
We've gotta "start today".

When did we lose our sense of urgency?
There's too much work to do,
And we've got to "start today"

CHEER UP!

Voice of Strength
by Ecostrike

supported by 10 fans who also own “Cheer Up”

A standout full-length debut in what has been an incredible year for hardcore. Ecostrike play a incendiary, impassioned brand of straight edge metallic hardcore that recalls One Truth-era Strife and early Earth Crisis, but are far from being a simple retread of 90’s past. One of the year’s best releases. Busty Loads
