RENTOKILL - DISCONTENT INDUSTRY (ANTICHORUS)

Linernotes: information is a resource, something we all need. but there is a point beyond which the speed and amount of information starts to diminish the quality of our lives. the more people who are competing for our attention, the more outrageous things they have to do to get it... and so the neon signs become bigger, the TV ads become louder, more shocking and more vulgar, and so do the shows between the ads.
- david shenk, "data smog"

Lyrics: are we streaming to listen, or listening to stream? do we base shortage on suggestion, or density on speed? do we dedicate this life to the dictatorship of the omnipresent beam? take in this comprehensive overflow of cultivated insolation. artificial fascination now! take in this crown-embellished artefact, that's world record in stimulation. input is relaxing us somehow, in permanent replay. plug in and play! i hear this phrase repeating. play your part, mistreating your own senses and mind. leaving any chance for objectivity and true interests behind. within this mass-diversion policy, we're dying for attention - a fact discontent industry is able to retail in globalized dimensions. as the input levels fell, we're dying for this bullshit that the centralized indoctrinating corporate-funded mass-media sells us.

01. Discontent Industry is taken from the record "AntiChorus", out 2007 on RUDE, No Reason and Broken Heart Records.

think they will get much reputation after finishing their tour with rise against

[johnnyamok]

well, that actually is hard to say. i personally think they won't do any better than they already did. it is very unlikely that after that tour a big change will happen in terms of popularity or reputation. people tend to forget too quickly about bands that aren't constantly put/forced into spotlight.

[lisaist]

maybe hard to prophesy this, but i think songs like "primetime killers" where you can sing along easily have much potential..

nevertheless i like their music and this is the most important thing, that they make good punkrock and do not drift into this kind of popunk thas rise against have done in their last album... i like rentokills lyrics alot, they might just be a little too complicated for the mass, for me as a german student in 12 grade it was sometimes hard to translate it..

[johnnyamok]

na dann unterhalten wir uns lieber auf deutsch, da tun wir uns beide leichter :)

[lisaist]

dann können es nur nicht alle anderen verstehen :P

[johnnyamok]

punks versteht ohnehin niemand :D

[juniorlegendario]

muito boa!!!

[najtrows]

I FUCKING LOVE THIS BAND AND THIS ALBUM! :D

the best song is "The Political Aspect Of Unpolitical Thinking" in my opinon, though all the songs are great. :D

gailes lied von der gailsten öst. punkband

[johnnyamok]

you're welcome. i'll be uploading their first record "back to convenience" as well, actually have already started to do so. check out my profile.

unfortunately rentokill are way underrated and overlooked in the punk rock scene. hopefully a lot of people will find out about them here on youtube.
