The Revolution Returns

After nearly a year, Suspended Agitation finally has new material!

We jammed for a couple hours tonight and finished putting together three brand new songs, which you can check out here.

The recording quality is rather low, and there are still a few rough spots to work out, but these should give you an idea of what to expect in the next few weeks.

- "Crazy" is a pretty basic song with driving rhythm guitars and a cool drum intro that I worked out a while ago. I'm probably going to write lyrics about people who help others for the purpose of making themselves look good and change the title to "Help Yourself."

- "Alternative Truth" is a slower song with the usual heavy guitars. The lyrics, when I write them, will be about people who follow weird conspiracy theories, such as the "9/11 was a government plot" crowd.

- "Blue" is by far the heaviest song we've ever written, with even more raw power and energy than "Chainsaw" or "Insane Inside." It's a chance to give my double bass pedal a real workout. Thanks to the fact that I'm an idiot, this recording really doesn't sound very good even compared to the others, and I messed up the drums a couple times, but the essence is there. The lyrics are going to be about people who teach racist ideas to children, and the vocals will probably consist of a lot of screaming. Good stuff.

Anyway, check those out if you so desire, and feel free to voice your opinions.

On a related note, reviews of our demo from last year are still welcome, if you manage to ignore the fact that neither of us can apparently sing.
