Bio:
Playing music has always been necessary to maintain sanity—and that was never more true than in 2020. In one of the worst years in human history, three buds in Denver responded the best way they knew how: picking up their instruments to escape from the madness and misery.
The result came out nearly immediately. Discomfort Creature’s debut EP is a fast, powerful, and emotive outburst of pent-up energy in the form of seven heartfelt punk songs. Reflecting the need for action during a year frozen in time, Discomfort Creature churned out the project at a record pace, mixing urgent, tried-and-true riffs with lyrics pulled straight from the heart.
The EP was recorded, mixed, and mastered at Black in Bluhm Music and will be released under the same label in 2021. Things are looking up for this year, but the need to rip remains: look for Discomfort Creature to hit the stage and put out another batch of jams sometime in 2021 and beyond.
Lyrics:
It’s not art unless it’s torture
Then this must be your last supper
I watch in disbelief as you tear out your own hair
Nothing ever works out it’s not fair
Cheap guitars and old computers
Let’s pretend we all have futures
I am disposable if I’m anything at all
It’s my turn to feel small
Does it make up for the love lost
Or the words you can’t take back
What would JC do if he was
Here to witness how you treat lesser of them
Please forgive me your royal highness
Know this hour is not my finest
I wanna rise above but I feel so beaten down
I wanna give up and crawl back underground
I am disposable if I’m anything at all
It’s my turn to feel small
Your abuses won’t abate
Just learn how to communicate
It’s only friendship after all
I’m not here to be made to feel small
