If you tell me your cause Then show me your claws Agenda plain too see Now you offended me If we analyze Break it down to size Said silence plain to see Man don't threaten me! Behavior modification Forget communication The shaping of a culture If I poke at you Probe and lie to you Pin-point, try to explain We're going down in flames If I question you Try to sanitize you People stop and stare Not fair, don't care, really don't Behavior modification Forget communication The shaping of a culture Pressure Vulture Deceived Great addiction of our lives How did it come to this? Did we agree to this? The legends of the fall How did we lose it all? How did it turn shit? Thank you microchip Give'n it up too soon The recipe for doom!

I see smoke I see fire I smell a rat That's a fact Ya feel me jack Pushback is strong This goes real deep Pushback is strong This is it It's a trick It's a trap That's a fact Ya feel me jack This goes real deep Pushback is strong This goes real deep Pushback is strong People played Put on fade The warrant stayed It's the big one Just a big one This goes real deep This goes real deep Real fucking deep

No one, nobody Cares about your band Just lie to your face Straight hardcore Just understand The expected truth Not fun anymore One by one No one, nobody Cares about your band No one hard feeling You gotta understand Don't expect the truth It's not fun anymore This act is such a bore That riff's been done before Stage lights are low Do what you can Ten punks in the club Including the sound man No one, nobody Cares about your band The soul, so crushing This must be said Don't expect the truth It's not fun anymore This act is such a bore That riff's been done before One by one

There's nothing to see here Ignore what you feel There's nothing to see here Disregard it all in the street Johnny no pants Man, give I'm something to eat Mass confusion Let's dole out the blame Looks like mankind Has gone insane There's nothing to see here Ignore what you feel There's nothing to see here Make up some stories Like war and disease Who's doing favors To try to appease Let's skirt the issue Let's try to impeach Who owns the media Freedom of speech? We think we have freedom of speech Well surprise Smoke screen You know what I mean Don't trust the media There's nothing to see here Ignore what you feel Just walk on by

The Iron 01:00
Reaching for the biggest iron How it all went down And that's ok! White light, red light Squeeze it tight Rapid fire from a muzzle I feel the power And that's ok White light, red light Squeeze it tight

So looking for happiness No it's not your fault You are so kind Not to make me feel guilt I don't know what I need I need only myself I hang my feelings On a distant shelf Void Fill that Void Find a new distraction Found the new fun I'm just not happy It's nothing that you've done Always looking for happiness No it's not your fault You are so kind Not to make me feel guilt Void Fill that Void The Lines get blurry The scene gets bloody Everyone is sorry Ready for the breakdown Not to make me feel guilt Come out come out Wherever you are Now show yourself And all your lovely scars

Curtain Call 02:56
You don't know me You don't owe me We ain't got nothing That's a curtain call Completely out of line Deny that filthy lie We need that conversation And we're running out of time That second turn That second try That second light So we pretend To be your friend Decide inside In spite of you For all we do In spite of you You don't know me You don't owe me We ain't got nothing That's a curtain call Completely out of line Deny that filthy lie We need that conversation And we're running out of time That second turn That second try That second light So we pretend To be your friend Decide inside In spite of you For all we do In spite of you External things they don't matter Shed myself of most possessions Lasting hope All but shattered In the end It's all bad actors You don't know me You don't owe me We ain't got nothing That's a curtain call We want it all That's an easy call We wanna keep it all

Yes you know us Better than ourselves You sit there proudly Upon someone's shelf You know the answers This one held hand So it's guaranteed We're happy in the end Freedom Denied Ask a question You know what to say When I give up You can find a way It's like you studied You knowledge vault Anyone worth their value Anyone worth their salt Freedom Denied Inspiration, evolution Infinite technology Inevitable blurred Lines Now let's talk about what you really need Sweet gratification You have the information That's what you do So right on cue! I love your sound You never let me down Day or night You are always right Freedom denied

Blood is the common ground A universal sacrifice A book of broken dreams All about the faith it seems Real Fear That's Control Don't believe you hear me Don't believe I see you Blood is the common ground A personal sacrifice A book of broken dreams All about the faith it seems That Fear Real Control Don't believe you hear me Don't believe I see you So I sit here lonely What else can I do Sheets So cover your eyes Now cover your eyes Slip Zip Tight lipped

Create illusion Seed indecision Complete confusion Seed indecision Rewrite the script Now turn the page There's nothing left And they're fucking you Create your idols Seed indecision Become Disciples Seed indecision Rewrite the script Now turn the page There's nothing left And they're fucking you Can we make it true Consequences Soft defenses Self compliance What have I done?!

about

"The four-piece with members of Netherlands, Eternal Black, Reign of Zaius, Clothesline and Kraut make clear from the very first hook of opener and longest track (immediate points) “Behavioral Modification,” there’s as much Melvins in what they do...as early Agnostic Front. It’s not hard to appreciate the niche End of Hope are finding for themselves, and wherever they end up, the going is a good time." -- The Obelisk
theobelisk.net/obelisk/2023/01/19/end-of-hope-pushback-is-strong-seed-indecision/

"[Seed Indecision is] a complex track that really challenges the accepted notion of what hardcore is, promising a very smart and well thought out full album when it comes out." -- New Noise Magazine
newnoisemagazine.com/bandcamp-of-the-day-end-of-hope/

"If it was even conceivable, End of Hope has managed to heighten its level of pummel-osity copious notches on its latest offering, the "Pushback is Strong" long-player." -- There's Something Hard in There
theressomethinghardinthere.blogspot.com/2023/02/its-pummeling-time-with-end-of-hopes.html

“Coming in somewhere between Motörhead, Black Flag, New York hardcore, and a healthy dose of doom… Their core sound has remained focused on blurring the lines between these three related styles of music, yet they’ve pushed each element further than before and come back with songs that stick with you over repeat listens.” — Metal Trenches
