  • LP Test Pressing
    Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    I kept a test pressing of the self-titled LP for myself, and then remembered that I don't tend to collect my own stuff. If I end up an old man, then I wish to be an old man with no memory of the life I've lived. So, aye. Test pressing with alternative artwork. Nice and colourful but thankfully still a bit bleak looking.

    Comes with a free badge and sticker.

lyrics

I’ve slowly stopped missing those nights that did nothing for me
And the people who only cherish the times that we shared that aren’t served by memory
When I’ve since tried to connect, I’ve been met by the palm of their hand
Followed by frustration and shame that lasted for days, and for a while I struggled to understand
But then I was slapped in the face by the beauty of not being important
Then I laughed until I coughed up blood when I realised just how big the world is
I used it to write your name on the wall in the box room
It was gone when I woke up the next day
A clear indication to walk away

Dreaming in darkness and violence, waking up in cold sweats
I'll take these fleeting moments of fear and self-doubt over a lifetime of regret
I stretched my soul as far as it could go
While you used your best toothache voice to sing words to me that could have meant anything
I can still feel each syllable sting
But I know this all counts for something

Praying for moments of silence, wishing I was the only one here
Well, you keep running away so I guess that we’ll play it by ear
I stretched my soul as far as it could go
While you used your best toothache voice to sing words to me that could have meant anything
I stretched my soul as far as it could go
Punctured holes in the dream
Grabbed on to another one’s seams
Adjusting to this new routine
Learning to love the in-between.

Wrong Life Edinburgh, UK

I'm Fraser. I play music under the name Wrong Life. I tried fooling people into thinking it was a proper full band with a somewhat steady line-up but it didn't work, so here we are.

"... somewhere in between heartfelt, life-affirming contemporary pop-punk and smart indie-rock of the ‘90s and early ‘00s." - Keep Track of the Time

"Emo-ish punky bullshit." - me
