I was brittle at first.
That was me at my worst.
Held my finger on the trigger,
Kept my thirst as ammo.
Tore myself apart,
Killed myself for my art,
I was compromised and took it all to heart.
And I won't go back.
No, I won't go back.
I won't give you that.
Cause I fought tooth and nail.
I fought tooth and nail,
And the fight goes on.
I fought tooth and nail,
I fought tooth and nail,
Let me take you on (and on and on and on)
On and on and on.
I've had a melee with doubt,
Drowned my enemies out.
Knuckles split, I took it on the chin
With guns out.
Now I've recovered my spark,
My unequivocal arc.
And though it rips me open every time,
I won't give you that.
I won't give you that.
No, I won't go back,
Back.
Cause I fought tooth and nail.
I fought tooth and nail,
And the fight goes on.
I fought tooth and nail,
I fought tooth and nail,
Let me take you on (and on and on and on)
On and on and on.

what happens when a trained singer with east coast roots discovers punk rock in their youth and writes music that makes you feel excited....more
As a lifelong fan of psyche, I was delighted to have found this, stunned that I'd missed them for three decades and devastated by the news of Dallas' passing. Makes many of the album's lyrics even more poignant. I hear echoes of the Chocolate Watch Band, Long Ryders and both the pop and country sides of the Byrds. Stunning, and a contender for my album of the year. Iain H
This debut from the Melbourne-based folk-rock band tackles environmental issues, self-determination, and relationships. Bandcamp New & Notable May 26, 2023
Thin Lear's sophisticated rock music is tempered with soaring chamber pop accents and an undeniable gift for melody. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 30, 2020
From the start to finish, this is a powerful album. The only thing better than listening to it is seeing Skye Wallace and her band play live. jgoodeill
