“I’m fully aware of the complexity of what 9/11 was and still is. I see how it resonated in different directions, starting with a low IQ political puppet on an aircraft carrier fumbling through a poorly written speech in front of an arrogant banner reading “Mission Accomplished”. The dollar store PR stunt which only gradually got into focus for various people at some point showcased the ongoing business of global terror perpetrated by the U.S. Government. We can easily look back and see a linear trajectory predating the G.W. Bush Administration heading backwards to the Clinton administration when the government continued the war in Afghanistan which was started by the previous Bush, and before all that, with the Reagan administration bombing parts of the Middle East while fucking around with the Iran Contra scandal. You’d think we could see it now with clear focus in relation to the U.S. Government’s support for genocide in Palestine, and today in DC, with the infant stages of a visible police state. Yeah, we can pick a side in a two party system who are just inbred cousins of a bigger system that always points towards war, the business of war, and the lack of humanity, as well as the lack of intellect to negotiate peace. So you can “never forget” 9/11, and you can also just forget, because the politics of war are not concerned with anyone’s wellbeing.”

Deaf Club continues their scathing indictment of society with their second full-length album, being released on Southern Lord and Three One G: We Demand a Permanent State of Happiness. Fast wit and faster blast beats are mainstays of the band, but there is also a sense of growth. This is their strongest songwriting yet, incorporating more hooks and good old-fashioned moments to mosh while staying as weird as ever. Raygun guitar riffs and unexplainable sounds abound. Justin Pearson, Brian Amalfitano, Scott Osment, and Jason Klein excel at inciting emotion in the face of apathy and voicing disgust amid a world rapidly burning.
