about
This is the end! Goodbye!
lyrics
I - Snowdrop
The River is frozen. You walk across.
From snowy bank to snowy bank.
Each side looks just like the other.
What fucking difference has it ever made?
And in the evening, we watch the sun.
Follow where the light goes when it sets.
Neon torches along the highway exits.
To the end of every cigarette.
So let the wind go where it wants.
Let the ice crack in the by-and-by.
I won’t wait around forever.
This is the end. This is goodbye.
This is the end.

Grey Matter is really doing something that no other band is doing. Ska (I know, stay with me) + Jazz + Hardcore and a little bit of something else entirely. Lansing MI based RENT STRIKE
The first time I saw Peter play, we had already been friends for a couple months. I cried listening to him, for everyone else I've met whose gifts I didn't know. RENT STRIKE
