It’s
only fitting that Old Lines live on the doorstep to the nation’s
capital. The band’s vehement disdain for political and social corruption
is the fuel that feeds the band’s molotov cocktail of hardcore, crust
punk, doom and powerviolence. And on their latest effort, No Child Left Behind,
Old Lines leave no stone unturned, from politicians to the environment,
as they rip and shred their way through eleven tracks of pure
frustration and aggression.
“This
record in general is about somewhat taking the focus away from
corporations and the lawmakers that support them, and instead taking
responsibility for our own part in letting them do it,” says vocalist
Matt Taylor. “As long as people remain silent and apathetic to what's
happening around them, these issues will multiply, and the repercussions
will become more severe for the earth and everything on it. In 2014, we
don't have the luxury of ignorance anymore.”
Apathetic behavior is a theme that runs
throughout the new record, including on the band’s new track “Traps.”
The song puts society on blast for turning a blind eye for so long to
the destruction of our planet and the resulting changes in climate.
“Traps
is a song about how we all are responsible for the state our
environment is in, and (more specifically) our collective regret that
these issues have reached such a catastrophic degree,” Taylor adds.
“We've ignored countless warnings from scientists all over the world for
the sake of our own personal convenience. Only now, as the damage is
becoming more visceral and the earth as we know it is in a tailspin, are
people starting to admit that issues such as global climate change have
real consequences and demand attention. However it's all just a little
too late. We set the traps ourselves, and now we're crying that we're
caught in them.”
