released December 25, 2020

Facing indictment on serious charges:

Tin - Vocals
Rob - Guitar
Boom - Drums
Ned - Bass

Drums recorded by Jesse Rickertson (FREE HIS DAD! They did? Cool)
Guitars recorded by Robin, Rob's grunge loving twin brother.
Vocals and bass recorded by Ned, if you want to call handing Tin a mic or plugging in my bass and clicking a red dot "recording" stuff.

All tracks were mixed by Ned because straight up you can't claim to be DIY and then go hire a record producer to make your songs sparkle and you can quote me on that. Learn to do this shit yourself, you don't hire studio musicians to play on DIY hardcore records so why do it with the mix? Because it'll sound better? And music is primarily a sound related phenomenon? Okay, good point, but you're still a poser compared to me and my willingness to take shit to the next level with no regard for my own art, this is BOSS stage bro, a place where you can't play because you're out of lives, son, you're at the loading screen, it's game over. DONE. (poser).

All songs written by Ned initially & then Blood Bricks collaboratively, and if they are at all good it is mostly due to the effort put in to the latter process rather than any inspired aristic epiphanies experienced through the former. I came up with the structures and wrote the bass parts and the rest of it was based on the bass which was premised on the basis of the question ... How low can you go? Etc. Tin wrote the vocal parts, though I'm not sure when because he didn't do it at practice, or practice at practice much really, though he did attend, and still managed to be the best thing about what we did, so probably they came to him in dreams I guess, like his Manc accent and those jean jackets, all just dreams come true when you think about it. No, don't think about it. Rob didn't write guitar parts, he was just playing it all improv like a jazz virtuoso, he's pretty good when he turns up loud enough for anyone to hear him. Boom decided which drums to hit and when to hit them, this was not his first rodeo (okay, with occasional help provided by Tin through pantomiming, gesticulation with phantom sticks, and beat boxing drum noises, which they may not do at rodeos, no clue, haven't even attended my first one yet).

Lyrics to Red Card, Green Card and One Eyed King by Ned, not for any particular reason, and I think these album notes truly demonstrate that he doesn't need a lot of reasons to write things down.

All other lyrics by Tin. I would name the songs but you'll be able to tell by the drastic increase in overall quality on his, and also the drastic increase of UH! type exclamatory grunts, there's a correlation.

Album cover and all other art work (logos, t-shirts, posters, whatever) were original sketches (painting for the album cover) by Tin. Most, if not all, of the design/layout that made use of the artwork was by Ned, but I'm sure you guessed that because it was pretty obvious we weren't hiring anyone professional to do it given that we were too cheap to even get it mixed properly. We paid out band dividends instead, like a corporation going bust that hands out bonuses to its CEOs while laying off all the employees. If the corporate bonuses were only $125, it would admittedly not stir much controversy if it was that little amount of money, so this analogy is garbage, just keep moving. Go on. Go. I said GO! Get out of here. I know, it's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday, but come on, fuck off. Okay fine you can stick around and listen to the songs again if you insist on it ...
