    'Ugly Truths vol 1' compiles the 'Oblivious' and 'Undermine' EP's onto one 12" and adds another 4 songs for good measure. The LP comes in a 12"x24" fold over jacket and is accompanied by an 8 page lyric booklet with new art and essays not included in the original EP's. The combination of additional songs, art, and commentary hopefully make it worth owning even if you already own the EP's.

    Limited to 500 copies on CTW Records out of the UK. All orders will receive a Poison Planet tour poster with their LP.

    Please note, the remaining copies are all on BLACK vinyl.

    Includes unlimited streaming of Ugly Truths vol 1 via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics

Bible Stories
Deities and saviors
Myths and fables
Prophesies and prophets
Lies upon lies

Contrived to control
Fiction as truth
Broken trust
Lies upon lies

Stories told
Morality imposed
Fiction unearthed
Hatred exposed (x2)

Bring them in
Sheep to the flock
Feed them all
Lies upon lies

Deities and saviors
Myths and fables
Prophesies and prophets
Lies upon lies (x2)
Lies upon lies upon lies

For many religion provides solace, inspiration, belonging, understanding, and forgiveness in what can be an unforgiving world. Despite the benefits it bestows on some - even upon many that I know and love, I cannot sit idle as tenants of hatred are passed off as morality. I cannot keep my mouth shut as you spread fiction and centuries of embellishment and tout it as truth. Shepard the faithful, shout your commandments from the pulpit, or spread the wisdom of your prophet - we will always stand firm to undermine you. We will challenge your truths, whisper doubts, and promote the ever evolving answers that scientific analysis provide. We will base our morals on reason, not on ancient tomes written by men bent on controlling the populace and bending them to their own whims. We are not sheep. We will not be led. Fuck your god and your book of truths. Until your religion embraces all races, genders, and sexual orientations as equals, until you can look me in the face and tell me that you understand the origins of these tales and that you can read between the lines and only extol the interwoven virtues of love and acceptance - we will stand before you and call out your belief system for the two faced controlling doctrine of intolerance that it is.

about

Poison Planet Chicago, Illinois

What separates punk from other genres of music is its visceral menacing sounds make it the perfect soundtrack for anger & protest. The direct result of this combination of elements is that it became a vehicle for socio-political ideas.

PxP firmly embrace that vehicle in the hope of advocating the idea of personal growth & change; personal is political.

Straight Edge.
Veganism.
Human Rights. ... more
