lyrics

--- Grindcore Is Not For Sale (2012) from Fuck S.C.I.O.N Comp 2012 ---

- Words:
SCION wants your band
To be part of its marketing plan
SCION wants your soul
To sign you up on their payroll

Fuck your corporation
And fuck your shallow ploy
Fuck your sponsorship
This scene is not your toy

Grindcore and hardcore punk
Is not about rockstars getting drunk
No need for a sponsored stage
Don’t be baited into their cage

This is either a tax break
Or a publicity stunt for fuck's sake
Do the suits really give a shit
About fast music for zero profit?

/

- Explanation (taken from the video 2013):
Opinions are like arseholes, everyone has one and in the DIY punk community, these opinions are very strong especially when it involves the actions of our beloved bands. Recently opinion has been divided as to whether bands working with SCION is just another example of grind/punk/crust etc etc etc bands taking something from a company and using it for free or whether it is nothing short of selling out. My stance on this is there are free services owned by big business that can be used to strengthen links within the DIY network with the hope that the adverts surrounding the content is ignored (fb and myspace for example), in this scenario no money changes hands and the company does not influence the activities of the people involved.
The affiliation with SCION is not as simple as “getting free stuff from companies without buying into the bullshit” as it requires the bands to work directly with the company. Sponsored events and releases are branded with the logo of a corporation which to me is simply not in the spirit of DIY. Grindcore is not for sale.

This was my introduction to The Owl. Wow! Brilliant without being forced. The production is flawless. That separation that really makes it come alive. Transporting the listener to these unrelenting environments. I can feel the desolation. Each track stands alone, yet the continuity weaves it together making the parts a whole piece. This isn't for everybody but everybody should get it. This is art. A mesmerizing trip through the darkness and isolation in us all and the world. Masterpiece work. Grandpa Grim
