  • 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

They just kicked the door wide open, it batters off the walls of my mind
I barely recognise their faces, they barely remember my name
I remind myself that I’m doing better
They try to drag me back to when things were worse
I'd ask you for some reassurance but you're locked up at home
Firing off email after email to God, asking when he'll start doing his job
The only one I tried to send bounced back
So I gave up right after that
Then I tried to throw my liver through your window but it's just not hard enough anymore
I bet the rocks in-between my ribs would do the job
But I don't know how to get them out
They keep me awake at night then disintegrate in natural sunlight
At least now sometimes when I shut my eyes I can see those helical patterns
Letters spin around inside
I rearrange them into words that make more sense
Than the ones that I've been saying
Than the ones you’ve had to listen to since we first met

There’s a grenade inside my gut that has your name on it
Every few nights without realising I pull the pin
It hurts like hell but I smile every single time
There's a song stuck in my head, it sounds just like your voice
I hit repeat each time it ends, as if I have a choice
I turn it up when everything else gets too loud
Now I don't want to turn it down
No, I don't want to turn it down

It sent me off to sleep last night
None of those patterns had changed but the letters spun around and rearranged
They now spell out ‘I dream of a future now’.

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
