    '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

Hundreds put to death every fucking day
Nationwide panic we all take the bait
Terrifying menace - the population steered
Media exploitation fueling our fear

Laws enacted taking the lead
Efforts made to eradicate a species
Sanctioned genocide where does it stop?
What will be the next scapegoat when this one's gone?

Tales of men, women, and children being mauled by beasts are timeless. The media loves to latch onto these tales of horror, and the public loves to eat them up - hanging on every word and giving into fear. The world has been systematically cleansed of predators that border our islands of civilization in order to make us safe, so in order to capitalize on these sort of stories the media seize every opportunity to publicize a new enemy at the gates, or worse still - within our borders. Menace was written about the completely fucked up portrayal of the American Pit Bull Terrier that the media has forced down our throats and the ensuing genocide taking place as laws are put in place to cleanse our cities and suburbs of these loving, intelligent, misunderstood dogs. It could just as easily be about countless other animal genocides taking place around the world. Maybe they are baiting and shooting deer in your suburb, or they are hunting down wolves or coyotes in your rural town. There is always an accident or attack to be blamed on an animal, a reporter to turn it into a spectacle, and a politician looking to exploit it for easy votes. Sadly, we are guilty of swallowing it all hook line and sinker.

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
