Darknight I'm so glad I found IRON GAG because they absolutely rock! A dose of punk and hardcore mixed with very cool guitar sounds makes this record so addictive and so beautiful. Favorite track: Narc.

Lurchfoot 01:52
exhausted days, exhausted nights dreaming death, with all my strife wasting this life, waiting to die watching this world, fall right apart why even care? I sit alone in despair faking reasons to live I'm just a miserable fuck whose straight out of patience and straight out of luck I gave up my pride.

Malingering 02:41
I wasn't born fucked up just born fucked I wasn't given the world just bad luck no time to try just time to die I feel it building then everything stops a method of coping when shit hits the top I feel it building then everything stops you feel it building now, I don't feel, I don't care I feel it building then everything stops shit can't help me when my brain turns to rot I feel it building now, I don't feel, I don't care I caved in, I caved out it consumes, I was shaped.

Trash Lungs 02:06
I carry this burden alone I carry my everything alone words and care can't stop wishing to breath fire can't escape fill my lungs with smoke fill my lungs with hate won't escape fill my lungs with smoke fill y lungs with hate my hate suffocate as if the suffocation will distract the shadow I can't escape
6.
Sit and Spin 01:28
caught in cycles self destruction my only case self destruction the back of my mind lies to keep me unaware like I know how to be consume, destroy, die there is no create consume, destroy, die there is no live.
7.
I'm finding the need to runaway from what I can't tell I'm finding the need to change but I feel the same am I here? I found it I lost it I feel it still.

Muggi 02:16
is it too much to ask to be this way? is it too much to ask to live today? letting people in, always fades is it too much to ask to live today? I'm all alone in this just like I've always been it doesn't change I'll never change I'm all alone in this just like I've always been it doesn't fade I will never win I'll sabotage my cause you won't stop it I can't stop it this is all I know I will never win by choice by design you can't stop it I won't stop it this is all I know

Narc 02:31
crash cars on the way home so I will be alone I don't care anymore cause this life is not right ease no pain fake this life prescribe me drugs what the fuck alone at home day to day bury thoughts, they don't go away inside of this fucking head I'll die and die again today ease no pain fake this life fuck this war kill us now I will be lost now nothing matters just dead blue skies
10.
Washed Up 03:09
times running out gains have been lost I'm a failure now with painful thoughts you keep changing I can't change who you are how I feel up all night sleep all day there is no light I keep changing you can't change who you are, how I feel up all night, sleep all day there is no light drowning straight to hell I'm drowning I keep changing you can't change who we are, how we feel sleepless nights, filled with rage I'm desperate and waiting you keep changing I can't change who I am, how I feel sleepless nights, filled with pain I'm desperate and waiting I've drowned, myself.
11.
She Knows 03:17
euphoria a feeling not well known fear felt in the calm alone I feel most days how did I end up this way feel calm in the swell alone I am, alone to feel, alone I feel who made this way? did I ask for it? do I still?

about

"Describing a band’s musical approach as “straightforward” sounds similar to saying a person has a “good personality,” or like damning it with faint praise. Not Iron Gag, though. The New England-based quartet’s whole approach paints them as one of those why-go-around-when-you-can-plow-straight-through bands. Kind of like the Juggernaut, the virtually unstoppable X-Men villain, and likely just as fond of humanity.

The name Iron Gag alone radiates hostility. The music feels assaultive. Their debut long-player Malingering sounds like Steve Albini losing his shit and spending two weeks feverishly pounding away on a manual typewriter in some off-the-grid manifesto shack. Imagine “My Black Ass” from Shellac’s At Action Park, but with hair-trigger emotional volatility and considerably more abrasion — those are the album’s mellower moments. When they switch to grind mode on tracks like “Trash Lungs” and the sardonic “Sit and Spin,” they take on a rapturously unsettling belligerence."
