New United Nations song

2017-01-20 by DatsNotDaMetulz | 81 Comments
To coincide with the inauguration of the first orange President of the United States Donald J Trump, self-proclaimed "screamo-powerviolence" supergroup United Nations have released a new song.

It is the first without singer Geoff Rickly, who has stepped down from the band in order to focus on No Devotion. The band have chosen to keep the identity of the new singer anonymous. All money raised from downloads will be donated to Planned Parenthood and ACLU.

rickley is the shit but no devotion is a solid project so im glad to hear they'll be doing more

song's not bad but FUCK Geoff was my favorite thing about this band, his lyrics and vocals were top notch, dude's screams are so fucking vicious

edit: after my initial disappointment and shock learning that Geoff is gone, song's pretty great, the instrumentation rips as usual and Daryl on vocals is pretty sweet

Bummed Geoff is gone, but Daryl is a hell of a replacement.

Also, threw a fiver for this. ACLU and Planned Parenthood are worthy causes.

the production on those vocals is pretty bad. They sound so muffled and unclear compared to the rest of the instrumentation that it makes them sound even more yappy and ridiculous.

This is pretty awesome. I think it's Daryl. The production on the vocals could use some work for sure though. They sound kind of trapped. However they are immense.

Not bad! I'm always excited to hear more from these guys and Daryl. Doesn't quite seem like he has the same pipes that he did on the Our Color Green EP, but that could have a lot to do with the pretty lo-fi vocal production too. Didn't feel like the clean vocals fit so well on this track.

"Didn't feel like the clean vocals fit so well on this track."

agreed, couldve done without those. also some of the lyrics are pretty ridiculous. yes, Trump can go fuck himself, but it seems to imply that we're having a repeat of Nazi Germany or something along those lines.

Right? Like, there's this idea that electing Trump is America's new low or something, and I find that funny. We've always been up to dumb shit and, as bad as it is, this is far from the worst of it.

as far as i know punk has never been a very friendly environment for fascists, so it's good to see that bands are still trying to carry that torch, even if a lot of them aren't that good >_>

song is musically p good. missing Geoff tho. lyrics are a nice blend of buzzwords and pure hallucination. interesting to see how different sides can view the same reality as two completely opposite realities while still coexisting. almost as if we are living in some weird computer simulation.

I think Daryl was only on some songs on the s/t

the more I listen to this song the more I love it

also, Daryl is definitely the vocalist on this song: "Maybe someone who fronts another post-hardcore band you may have enjoyed"

@rowan if these lyrics were written by Amy shumer there would be about 2000% more lyrics about vaginas and spitting vs swallowing
