about

“Gutter Paint”, the first single from the upcoming debut EP ‘Mirror Talk’ has been set upon us like a rabid dog with a bone to pick.
“Gutter Paint” is a war cry by Sugar Spine, declaring that people turn around and listen up. Decrying nepotism and corruption in the political sphere, “Gutter Paint” goes for the jugular, and keeps going. An attitude-filled mix of blistering kicks, breakdowns and a good dose of hardcore is infused to show a huge display of vexation at those who live above the law. By the time the track comes to a finish, the intentions of Sugar Spine are easily understood.

lyrics

Lyrics:

The impact
Is much worse
When it’s from the highest point
I think you’d look good, as a stain on the pavement

Here we are, walking down the same path
And all we see is the same noxious smokescreen obscenity
A hollow shell that condemns better men to the cell for the hell of it
Tell ‘em it’s a privilege, to be locked up in your place you disgrace

Locked up in your place, you disgrace

You shed your skin and you shift your shape,
But your former self drags behind as it decays

You slid into a spot built on integrity
And tainted it with your vile dishonesty
It’s not even a surprise, transgressions minimised
By your friends looking down from the high rise
What’s the meaning behind your position then?
To get off every crime and protect your friends?
Your words are hollow and weak, like the backbone you keep.
You think you’re a wolf, but I’ll show you teeth.

You’re so corrupt and you don’t even see it
You stand on your victims' backs while they eat shit

Malversation is part of your DNA
About the only part of you that is not fake
So fake

In a position of influence, you bleed oratory as if you fucking represent your constituents
Sitting up in your ivory tower, licking your lips as you’re fed all the power
I hope you fucking gag on the spoon and vomit up all of the skeletons of the people gone too soon, gone too soon.

Gone too soon
Our deepest condolences
Who the hell are you trying to convince?
You’re still at the crime scene and you’re adding fingerprints

You slid into a spot built on integrity
And tainted it with your vile dishonesty
It’s not even a surprise, transgressions minimised
By your friends looking down from the high rise
How the fuck do you sleep at night,
Knowing justice isn’t justice when it leans on your side?
You think you’re hard to descry? I’ve got you in my sights.
I can see the rot behind your eyes.

You’re like the scum in a sewage line,
So let’s put the scum where scum belongs.

Put the scum where scum belongs.

about

Sugar Spine Sydney, Australia

Angry, hard-hitting, and unflinching. These are only a few words to describe the freshly established Sugar Spine, a hardcore- infused metalcore project from Sydney, Australia. Born out of the creative captivity of quarantine and self-isolation during the pandemic, Sugar Spine isn't as sweet as it sounds.
The music revolves around raw emotion, and zeroes in on sheer rage.
