Known for their intense energy and socially conscious lyrics, they quickly gained a dedicated following. Check out their performance and read their lyrics below!

What do you mean that it's time, time for me to grow up?
I don't want any part, it's right to follow my heart
The new kids ran, ran out the back door fast
And the men that came before, they had their nose in the air
Pretending that they care about our scene
Just because our money's green
I'll tell you stage dive, they think they're more alive
Decoded messages in slowed down songs

[Chorus]
Now you're so ashamed
Now I'm so ashamed of you
We believed the same things
You stand to the side, rebirth of hardcore pride
It all came true
Too bad you can't see all the good things that I see

[Verse 2]
Back in, back in the days
When I went to your band's play
Didn't seem like wasted days
I was so sincere, but now I see more clearly
Music's only work to them, it's not to me
So I say, "Hats off to bands that change
Good luck to your own way"
Why play for us if your heart's not in it?
'Cause what might, what might seem dumb to you
Is pounding in my heart
