The Rope: Jesse Hagon (vocals), Mike Browning (guitar), Sam Richardson (bass), Ben Rickel (drums)
Big release party coming up for The Rope and their new album, “Nightbird,” at Mortimer’s on October 4. Their Gothic Post-Punk music is a shrill indictment of everything that’s wrong with what’s going on in the Land of the Free:
Violence
You want violence
Well whaddya know
Welcome to the hourly show
What’s your kick man?
Whaddya need?
You want violence
Just follow me
Step right up and take a seat
We’ve everything you desire
Soon you will all feel the heat
When your entire world is on fire
But you must pay the price up front
And for all eternity
May I present
Land of the free
You want terror Brother what’s your kink?
A School shooting
One every time you blink
Police death squads, fascist greed
You want terror
Brother follow me
Step right up and take a seat
We’ve everything you desire
Soon you will all feel the heat
When your entire world is on fire
But you must pay the price up front
And for all eternity
May I present
Land of the free
