Sometimes I wish I’d started marking down on the wall how many days I’ve spent working from home – it’s like a prison at time, constantly distracted by your own thoughts and doubts. Every once in awhile your responsibilities distract you, and today’s distraction comes to me from CUTTERS’ We Are The Quarry. It’s a fine punk record done in an indie manner that deals with the trials and tribulations of all the ships, friend and relation.
The friend-centric tracks were the stars of the record. Both dealt with the same idea – needed friends. “Good Morning Boys” went on about how long since it’s been since they’ve seen their buds, and I felt the same. Then the prime track, “Young Gods,” summed friendship up nicely – you need it. I lost track of that idea the past couple of months. The rest of We Are The Quarry played well although I thought their most rocking song, “Savage Nights,” was actually going on about “Rocking Cats.” And while I felt connected to the friendship songs, I couldn’t help but nestle up to “I Just Wanted To Walk On The Surface Again” because I too want to be with someone and cannot.
Thanks CUTTERS for being a distraction from my own thoughts, although you made me think of my own life…so we’ll call it a draw and we’ll wrap this up. So if you’re into other bands like Mosey Jones or Museum Mouth, then this band’s got it going on for you. Make sure to let them be your distraction as soon as you can because We Are The Quarry is out now.
