1.
Intro 01:32
Can you feel this energy?
2.
I close my eyes and turn away I can't foresee a better day A time and place where we could stay I pray tonight for yesterday I can't believe, I can't foresee And I can't turn back the hands of time I see this road start to descend A nightmare waits around the bend And as this dream comes to an end I'm left with nothing once again
3.
How could things go wrong so fast How can the way it's always been turn out not to last How can you bury these feelings with the past Losing you was finding me
4.
Streetlights 01:56
I'm ten years old again Still finding room to breathe Still spending nights under these streetlights It's the only place I see It's time we give up on regret I can't keep living in my past Please just let me forget It's time we all let it go It's time we give up on regret I've closed my eyes to you You're nothing but a ghost to me You come and go But only my eyes can see
5.
Talk Hard 01:48
A cold and distant retreat Another tortured soul admits defeat I can see it everywhere And I know That nobody even cares I can't speak in this tongue I don't sing how it's sung It's time to raise the bar And talk hard Wounded and hidden far from sight Embracing solitude won't help win the fight Can you feel it? These rising tides of social change
6.
Cyanide 01:07
Inside these walls I'm losing hope Don't care about your problems I've got my own Don't try to get inside Because I won't let you in One step inside my head You wouldn't know where to begin Day in Day out Punch in Punch out Inside these walls I'm giving up
7.
Bushwhacked 02:04
I can't believe what's going on around me I hear them calling out for this decline Speak out for what you hold so dear Let's regain our sense of true equality I can't believe what's going on You're falling further as you fall right in line Don't succumb to this nightmare come true Don't let this state of mind overcome you Don't let this nightmare come true

about

“Energy’s Punch The Clock is one of the most promising melodic hardcore debuts in recent memory. Energy has crafted a sound that is part Black Sails era AFI mixed with influences from melodic masters such as Ignite and Vision. Despite revisiting a sound that has been established for well over a decade, Energy delivers passionate songs that champion an era of songwriting that is frequently reminisced.

Vocalist Tank sounds like he is channeling Davey Havoc in his delivery, and while most hardcore singers would fail miserably at such a task, Tank has a powerful voice and pulls it off well. Unlike other subgenres of punk, melodic hardcore often sounds best with a vocalist that possesses traditional singing talent, and Tank’s vocals are a significant part of what makes this debut so memorable.

Normally I’d highlight standout tracks, but all of these songs are equally solid. Starting with an intro that bleeds flawlessly into the opening track, the band soars through all 8 songs in just over 10 minutes. The guitarists have written incredibly catchy hooks and Tank’s vocals put the songs over the top. The short length of this debut is an asset; with the increasing professionalization of hardcore, it seems many bands are pressured to churn out lengthier albums in accordance with major label norms. Certain styles of punk and hardcore have more of an impact when kept short and Energy falls within this camp. Don’t let the length be an excuse to cheap out and download this, as the artwork is awesome and looks great on the glossy liner notes.”
