Do Nothing by Sloth Hands
I wanted to do something a little different when writing new songs. I've always wanted to play music that was similar to 80s hardcore. Bands like The Adolescents, Dead Kennedys, Black Flag, Minor Threat and countless others played music that was loud, fast, aggressive, and fun.
But it was also (sometimes) socially conscious. In a year full of immense social and political frustration, 2016 seemed like the perfect year for Sloth Hands to record some songs that are also loud, fast, aggressive, and fun. As an incredibly passive aggressive introvert, there's something about 80s hardcore that serves as the ultimate catharsis.
Lyrically, a lot of these songs are written in the context of holding the mirror up to the people and ideas I disagree with. Hopefully you knew that when listening to the songs, but if you didn't, well, now you do.
