Ioannis Valiakos What an impressive find! Equal shots of 90s grunge and punk rock with influences that spread from Ziggy Was to Joy Division and Mudhoney. Amazing album!! Update: Vinyl purchased 11/06/21. Favorite track: Life Seems Johnny Rotten.

Lexicon 03:15
''Lexicon'' Words they're like birds They fly away Catch ‘em before They slip away Rarely function Just delay But still i want my a, b ,c's and d's and e's everyday Western world syndicate A Trade Center of Pay and pay You don't burn out Just fade away But still you want your f, g, h ,I ,j ,k ,l ,m ,n ,o , p Don't say a word Helpless Prostrate Somebody guide me Navigate (not too late) A lexicon Would be great ‘Cause still i want my q ,r, s, t, u, don’t forget my V. Oh, how i love to Communicate Too many verbs to Estimate Not up to scratch At any rate That's why i want my...oh fuck it anyway... Don't say a word G-L-O-R-I-A

Dylarama 02:46
‘’Dylarama’’ Ι won't say a prayer, i wont' say a prayer, i won't say (x5) I will sing a song, i will sing a song, i will sing (x5) I’m gon’ eat my shoe, I’m gon’ eat the shoe, that I wear (x5) I may lose the war, i may lose the war, but i don't care (x5)

Imipolex G 05:03
Your body’s covered with plastic Aromatic, heterocyclic Monomers synthesized to order Transmitters on the headquarters Powdered eggs one three and a dozen Imipolex G, IG Farben Imipolex G A screaming comes across the sky Post-violence bombs twisting high That's nice, Icy Eye could market An insulation device on a rocket Imipolex G

Wake up, jump out of bed Take a deep breath, make sure you 're not dead Cold water in your face Sets your mind back to its appropriate place Out of job, to hell with poverty Better off with no property You wanna live in anarchy Get your cage unlocked and destroy the key They're gonna judge your for what you've never done Οn a pale afternoon by the setting sun Before they take you to the gallows pole Left in your cell so lonely and cold Don't know what makes it so hard to see That life seems Johnny Rotten to me

No Harm 03:21
‘’No Harm’’ Hey, I may turn you on And , hey , give you what you want I’ll be ‘round But won’t be for long But hey, I won’t do no harm (Spoken word) In my beginning is my end It’s time to reconcile It’s time to repent Spring back to the ancient womb No remorse Before the beginning And after the end The pattern is premeditated Scattered amid the vague space And nothingness Sprawled in all directions And all dimensions In my end is my beginning Hey, I may sing a song And hey, I may bang a gong I can’t tell What’s right from wrong But hey, I won’t do no harm, i won’t do no harm, I won’t do no… (Spoken word) Now for sound The sound is the medium of suggestion A journey, a pursuit, a transition Speaks directly to the emotions That is why noise is so useful Have you ever heard a noise in the night? Now let us go further With noise we must include silence

‘’Broom Of The System’’ A child of my age A tiger in a cage Well, I’ve shed my tears of rage But where’s my Jimmy Page? We burn with heat that’s so relentless And I’m here to defend this What if you cannot comprehend this? Where’s my Jimi Hendrix? (Bridge x2) Jupiter, Jupiter, Jupiter, Mars We’re going to take them over , fill them up with cars (Chorus x2) Seems like we’re heading to a WW3 and I’m feeling fine (The Broom of the System) Some say we’ve reached the end of history, though they may be lying (The Broom of the System) What do you know about the world you live in and its design? (The Broom of the System) So many people that are struggling to live, they’re still waiting aligned (The Broom of the System) A child of my age We’re live on that stage Can’t help but feel so Dr. Strange Love is so deranged Few things that I forgot to mention To grab your attention In spite of all that tension ‘Bout my generation (Bridge x4) Jupiter, Jupiter, Jupiter, Mars We’re going to take them over , fill them up with cars (Chorus 2X) Seems like we’re heading to a WW3 and I’m feeling fine (The Broom of the System) Some say we’ve reached the end of history, though they may be lying (The Broom of the System) What do you know about the world you live in and its design? (The Broom of the System) This is the story of the Wild Wild West and its decline (The Broom of the System )

about

Head On Athens, Greece

Head On combine the dark-tinged and atmospherically sparse elements of post punk bands like Joy Division and Public Image Limited with a grunged out heaviness akin to Soundgarden or Sonic Youth to create a sound which is equal parts melancholic guitar dissonance, snarling vocals and all-out, fists-in-the-air driving rock. Their debut album ‘Ubik’ is out now. ... more
