lyrics

What would you do if you found out
That your friends believed in creation?
Or your mother's sister's daughter's friend
Went to England for an abortion

I want to live in a world where we have no need for cops
Crime is down, gays walk hand in hand
And the tide beats off the rocks
And it rocks

Hate is easy, life is hard
Hate is easy and life is hard

I'd rather see you smiling
As you recount the time you felt that you were saved
I find your stories fascinating
You know what's good for you man is good for me

But don't blow smoke in my face it'll only make me cough
You can buy as many fags as you like don't want to make you stop
You stop

Hate is easy, life is hard
Patience is difficult no matter who you are

Hate is easy, life is hard
Hate is easy and life is hard

Don't be a what-abouter, don't try to distract me
Don't be a what-abouter, life is hard

about

The Middle Ages Ireland

The Middle Ages, a new rock band formed by Anthony Mackey. You may be familiar with Mackey from his work with legendary rockers Large Mound. Or from his two year stint as guitarist in Hot Colossus. What you may not know is that this bio is horribly out of date. The Middle Ages now have a bunch of singles, an album and so many great songs still to come that it's a joke. ... more

A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!! smiledozer

Chimers takes no prisoners with their relentless angular riffage and stomping-in-the-chest drum beats. To think this came from just 2 people blows the mind. It's not all full-on aural assault either. Knocks back a gear on a couple of tracks to really show the different shades of their songwriting and musicianship. Best long distance driving album by far. Shaun Butcher
