    '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.

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

lyrics

You spend each day oblivious
Unaware of your impact made
Your hand in hidden atrocities
Attention to your complicity never paid
You act in blissful ignorance
Flaunt your apathy with pride
Its easier to remain unaware
Than to have to choose a side

Oblivious - you’re oblivious (x4)

It’s a rare day when you meet someone who looks at the big picture - the connection between our collective action and inaction and its direct global repercussions. People are so caught up in the triviality of their day to day lives that they selfishly ignore any greater impact they may have. You try to bring up politics or social justice and they will tell you they have no interest or they have no time. They have no clue that their beliefs, their consumption, and their apathy all have an impact. They have no interest in knowing how meat gets to the super market, how purchasing certain food products supports big tobacco or the American military complex, how their favorite beer company can be bank rolling the religious right and reactionary political candidates, or that thousands of animals were blinded and burned to ensure their detergent will get your whites bright without leaving chemical burns on your skin. We live in a fucked up world and we gleefully let everything slide until it directly affects us. Its time to step up and take a side.

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
