Wyrmwood Riotous and melodic with lyrics that are inspiring and uncompromising. This is seriously one of the best punk rock albums I've heard in years, and there has been a lot of good punk recently! Favorite track: No Place!.

HAIL THE WOLF Far be it from me to pass the blame. Hold myself high, won’t feel ashamed. No apologies for what I am. All hail the wolf, so pray the lambs. Places I’ve called home, the friends we’ve known. Side by side, I was never alone. All the times we had, the pride we shared. Boots and braces aside, I really cared. We give hope to the hopeless. Strength to the weak. My words for the wordless. our sound for the street. We are the creatures of the night. We bring it hard & burn out bright. Ladder laced and standing true. We are the bringers of the noise. Unified under one-voice. Skin-tight, just me and the BOi!s. We’re burning for you!

THIS ONE’S FOR US! Sing us a song – We can sing along. …Something to help us through these dark days. Sing us something true, how the weight of the world... …Keeps pushing us down, help us turn it around. Running out of steps, running out of breath, running out of time. …and time has no masters. So desperate for hope, a belief in better days, …Which won’t come any faster. We gave our tears, flesh, and blood. We gave our hearts, we’ve fought so hard. Stand so true and unafraid. Our time is now, be true, be brave! LOUD VOICES HARD CHOICES GET UP AND STAND THIS ONE’S FOR US!

No Place! 03:44
No Place! Do not mistake: My kindness for weakness, their vision - its bleakness. By your side, we’ll take this show by storm. Don’t be afraid, we are the chosen ones. Led by truth, never to conform. And make - no mistake: Our Hearts – won’t forsake. We’ll carry on – to hell and back. Still laced up – and on the attack. Love, but do not MIS-TAKE! My kindness for weakness, their vision - its bleakness. By your side, we’ll take this show by storm. Don’t be afraid, we are the chosen ones. Led by truth, never to conform. We’ll push the truth – to the brink. Open eyes – to the way we think. Judged by actions – Judged by words. Mouth moving – with no sounds heard. Love, but do not MIS-TAKE! We offer refuge for the wicked and weird Four walls, with nothing to fear We’ll hold, this moment tonight Arm in arm, we fight for our rights! No place for: Homophobia, Racism, Sexism, or Hate! This is no place for you.

P E O P L E L I K E Y O U Tonight, you better run for your life, you better run and hide. Don't turn away from me. Its times like these that never end, they never end well. Someone’s always gotta pay the price, for the other kids. They're better than you and me. It's gonna be hard for them to know, that they've got it coming. Litter sister's gonna tell the pigs, shes given up on me. She'll rat on everything. I've always loved to hear her squeal, she’s always screaming. Now you find yourself bound & gagged, lying on the floor - in a puddle of blood. You think back to your-self, this doesn't happen to people like me. It’s cold and dark, bound and gagged - cause your in the trunk of my car. I reminisce back to myself… Tonight, you better run for your life, you better run and hide. Don't turn away from me. Its times like these that never end, they never end well. Your eyes have never seemed so bright, so cold and blue you know what I got to do, so kiss me hard and hold on tight, this is the end of your life. Now you find yourself bound and gagged, lying on the floor in a puddle of blood. You think back to your-self, this doesn't happen to people like me. It’s Cold and dark, bound and gagged cause your in the trunk of my car. I reminisce back to myself, as I cut and light a cigar. PEOPLE LIKE YOU cont… You live in your happy life, with no worries, no faults on the outside. What lies in the darkness around, under, behind the veil of your eyes! Now you find yourself bound and gagged, lying on the floor in a puddle of blood. You think back to your-self, this doesn't happen to people like me. The blood drips down your face, like your mothers tears but still your black & blue. I look at your fetid remains and I think back to my-self. This doesn't happen…to – people – like - you.

Poison Words 02:14
POISON WORDS Take the good – Take the bad – Take everything – Take all I have. Venom spit – through, chords and grit – open your ears and swallow it! Forged in blood – so, Fill your plate – POISON WORDS – They’re rich in hate! Forward march across this wasted land. Onwards forth through the desert sands. Take the good – Take the bad – Take everything – Take all I have. Venom spit – through, chords and grit – open your ears and swallow it! What joined us together – has torn us apart. What we lack in will – I make up in heart. POISON WORDS

SOMETHING AIN’T RIGHT What's the longest road you've ever been down? Did it start with a bottle too? My Demons killed my Angel's and everything I see. And you have the nerve to ask " What's wrong with me"? Something ain't right What of your fucking broken heart? We wasted so many years. You can cry those crocodile tears all night, baby. You would have to have a heart to feel those fucking tears anyway. Something ain't right I used to have strength in my soul, world changed & I'm all fucked up now. I used to have hope in my heart, world changed & I'm all fucked up now. Used to have faith in modern man, world changed & I'm all fucked up now. I used to hold you in my arms... FUCK YOU! Something ain't right

WITH OR WITHOUT YOU! Forget what you’ve been told At the cost of sounding bold, Media – Force fed lies. We’ll break the bonds that tie. Find your truth & hold it high. Your only limit is the sky. The futures ours to write. Together we’ll stand skin-tight! What can we say, which hasn’t been said? What can we write which hasn’t been read? …and to the chosen ones – Our time will come. Street-Level in our blood. We protect those, which we love. …and the scar tissue – Remains the same. …and we know when times are hard - We’ll make it through! With or without you! …and we know when the days are blue – Always stay true! With or without you! With respect to the old Vanguard, Hard times make us who we are!

Angels 03:29
Angels I used to toss & turn in my sleep. Now I just sew what I reap. I used to wash the blood off the streets. Now I take pride in the values I keep. Tell me your dreams, give me your screams. You’re not as innocent as you seem. We are the blood, we are the truth, Knuckles and fists ain’t bulletproof. Your thoughts fill my empty spaces Angels with dirty faces. Shaved heads and spiderwebs. I think back and I see your face. Never thought you’d pull the plug. You were built with pride, flesh & blood. Hard work’s never done me wrong. With dirty hands or played in songs. In life there’s never been an easy way. You knew that, so what can I say?

Till My Heart Stops! Arrogant pricks, you make me sick. Fuck society and your politics. All of your “ists” and all of your “isms” Dehumanize and create schism. Done wasting time of fucks like them. Fist full of hate to condemn. Seriously, I’ve had enough, I’ve got nothing but love. Eye for eye, tooth for tooth. The right feeds you shit, the left holds the spoon. Media fools all who follow the news Hypnotized on one sided views. Smash the state – Reprobate! Mind your kind – Every wall will fall! (and you're falling for it) From the Boston streets to the Eastern Block, I’ll be screaming till my heart stops! Brainwashed agenda, of what they choose. We’re so fed up – TURN OFF THE NEWS! But society's mind is closed as Disparity grows, How apropos… Until my heart stops I live heart first, Live with a heart full of love!

Don’t Change I'm standing here on the ground The sky above won't fall down See no evil in all directions Resolution of happiness Things have been dark for too long Don't change for you Don't change a thing for me Don't change for you Don't change a thing for me I found a love I had lost It was gone for too long Hear no evil in all directions Execution of bitterness Message received loud and clear Don't change for you Don't change a thing for me Don't change for you Don't change a thing for me I'm standing here on the ground The sky above won't fall down See no evil in all… Resolution of happiness Things have been dark for too long (Ending) Don’t Change / Don’t Change

about

"Something Ain't Right" is Brix'n Mortar's first release on WTF Records, out of the Netherlands. The cover artist, Juan Jose Saldarriaga is best known for his Horror Movie covers for: Return of the living Dead, Killer Klowns from outer Space, Fright Night, Deathdrop Gorgeous, etc..
This album was written over the course of the world dealing with the pandemic. While live shows had ceased for the foreseeable future, we wanted to continue to release music in the face of adversity. We headed into New Alliance with producer, Kyle Paradis as soon as it was deemed safe to be in the same room with people. Finishing this record is a testament to not giving up, and not giving in!
