    This is the debut LP from Shitty Weekend, Portland’s most smart-mouthed DIY shredders. The band shares several members with the Taxpayers, including frontdude Andrew Link, as well as PDX grindcore stalwarts Transient. Taxpayers fans will be happy to recognize some familiar goofpunx elements in “Shit Week”, including bouncy horn lines and plenty of folky arpeggios, but Shitty Weekend. But it doesn’t shy away from the nastier, thrashier end of the punk spectrum either. Songs like “Don’t Tell Me Don’t” and “Employee of the Month” channel the frantic hostility of ‘80s hardcore punk in furious bursts, self-destructing before the one-minute-mark as often as not. Andrew’s shrieking vocals expound on religion, government, dad rock, and 9-to-5 ambitions while distorted guitars screech and Noah wails on the drums like his life depends on it. The end result is melodic, aggressive, sarcastic, dissonant, sincere, and punk as fuck. No fucking flossing, punk rock or die.

    Featuring similarly punk as fuck cover art by Keith Rosson.

    This is a run of 500 LPs: 250 on randomly mixed colored vinyl and 250 on black. Random mix vinyl comes in a few variants and all of them legitimately look awesome. You get what you get! If you reeeaally like a certain color, leave a note in your order and we'll try to get you one.

lyrics

When I was a kid I got religion shoved down my little throat
Coughed it up with demonic dry heaves; I was a spry ten years old
Tried to scare and scar me from made-up maladies that only Jesus could quell
Said I ought to watch my back or else I might rot in hell

But you ain't gonna save me, save me, oh no no
You ain't gonna save me, save me, oh no no
And no one's gonna save you
No one's gonna save you
No one's gonna save you but yourself

Back then I use to have the same nightmares most every night
Seized me up and made me scream all the horrors that I hid inside
My mind was a web but I was both the fly and spider that I so feared
Struggled but just got more tangled up fighting it after all of those years

But you ain't gonna save me, save me, oh no no
You ain't gonna save me, save me, oh no no
And no one's gonna save you
No one's gonna save you
No one's gonna save you but yourself

Sometimes I used to get this weird joy thinking I was gonna snap just like a rotten stick
Some simple demented pleasure keeping my feet on the ground when the metaphoric mud got too thick
They said I was a bad seed with my head in the gutter; I'd softly mutter incantations to raise the living hell
They weren't far from being right—I took a rusty knife and I put it through the savior's heart myself

No one's gonna save you
No one's gonna save you
No one's gonna save you but yourself
