DOOMED TO OBSCURITY
"One More War / Pipe Bomb" 7"
Released: March 2014
Released: March 2014
If you have followed my blog and / or listened to Up To No Good Radio, then you know that I became a fan of Doomed To Obscurity at a legendary gig in Philly on July 21, 2012.
Doomed To Obscurity played a gig with US Chaos, Viletones, Revilers and Missile Toads at the Kung Fu Necktie and it was a one of those shows I will never forget. Read about it here.
I have been listening to the songs on this 7" for the last two years as a part of the original (and also mandatory) CD.
Lucky for us, these two tracks are now available in the preferred vinyl format, complete with the following:
Hand screen printed by Awesome Dudes Printing
2 color screen printed record cover with florescent lime ink on 100# speckle tone madero beach french acid free paper
Limited Edition of 150 with 2 signed and numbered hand silk screened art prints inside by Dave Glass (Doomed To Obscurity drummer and artist) and Bill McRight.
Cover art collaboration Dave Glass and graffiti writer RUEN tagging the trains in the background.
Signed and numbered by the artists.
As you can hear, "Pipe Bomb" proves Doomed To Obscurity continues the proud Philly punk rock tradition. While they may not sound exactly like Decontrol, I love this band as much as I loved Philly's Decontrol way back when...
PIPE BOMB ( lyrics Billy Garvey Music Doomed To Obscurity )
I’M STUCK IN WIRES AND UNDER FEET
NO PLAN FOR ACTION MAN
TERRORIZE THE STREETS
I’M DONE WITH SPEECHES
I’M OUT OF LINES
NO ACT OF PUNISHMENT IS APT TO BE A ROCKET
AN ACRIMONIOUS STING TOILS IN MY POCKET
I’M LOCKED UP IN A HOOD
I’M LOCKED UP IN A HOOD
I GOT A PIPE BOMB
SHE’S A SERVANT OF THE WAR
IT’S FILLED WITH RAZORS
AND SHE’LL F*CK YOU LIKE A WHORE
NOBODY LIKES HER
BUT MAN SHE DOES ME GOOD
I GOT A PIPE BOMB
A BIT MISUNDERSTOOD
I’M ON A HOLIDAY FROM ONE PERCENT
TOO LOW TO THROW IT IN
TOO TIRED TO CHASE A CARROT
YOU’RE JUST A SPEEDBUMP
IT’S SUCH A RUSE
THROW ME A SHINY THING AND I WILL ACT AMAZED
TURN ON A TV RANT NOW TELL ME WHAT TO THINK
I’M LOCKED UP IN A HOOD
I’M LOCKED UP IN A HOOD
I GOT A PIPE BOMB
SHE’S A SERVANT OF THE WAR
IT’S FILLED WITH RAZORS
AND SHE’LL F*CK YOU LIKE A WHORE
NOBODY LIKES HER
BUT MAN SHE DOES ME GOOD
I GOT A PIPE BOMB
A BIT MISUNDERSTOOD
The video for Doomed To Obscurity's "Pipe Bomb" was correctly listed as one of the Philadelphia City Paper's videos of the year. Read about it here. Watch it below. The thing the Philadelphia City Paper didn't get right was the "pop" when they called Doomed To Obscurity a pop punk band. This is a hostile punk band.
"One More War" continues the Philthadelphia hostility and aggression.
ONE MORE WAR ( lyrics Billy Garvey Music Doomed To Obscurity )
NOTHING TO TAKE
IN SHATTERED SUFFRAGE
NO TIES TO TOWING A LINE
THIS IS ASSAULT
CRACKS IN A PARADISE
FIRES AND LIARS TO BURN
ONE MORE WAR
A STUCK PIG
A SCHOOLED DICK
TONIGHT WE ARE ALIGNED
A FORFEIT OR LOSE IT
READY OR NOT
NO MISTAKE
NOT A SERVANT MAN
FALLEN KICKED TO THE GROUND
OH TO BATHE IN COMPLACENCY
ARE YOU READY FOR WAR
I THOUGHT WE COULD TALK A BIT
BUT IT SEEMS THAT NOW
YOU WANT MORE THAN ALL OF IT
CROSSING A LINE
I WANT MORE THAN YOU CAN GIVE
AND THAT’S MORE THAN NONE
AND IN A SPLIT OF DIFFERENCE
WE’RE READY TO FIGHT
UNDER THIS STATE
UNDER A STRANGLEHOLD
A NOWHERE ROAD
THIS IS YOUR FATE
F*CK THE STATE
F*CK THE STATE
A great 7", with amazing packaging, by a quality Philly punk band that deserves your support.
Cheers,
Frank FOE
