about

Don says:

In which The Shut-Ups seek repentance for having used their platform primarily to lower, rather than raise awareness.

lyrics

We feel the urge to sing about the problems in this
Day and age we hate them do you hate them too
There’s far too many we can’t even count them
Much less solve them what is up with all the problems?

We were once a band that never sang about the problems
We are sorry that was wrong of us we didn’t use our
Platform, from now on we’ll sing of nothing else
What’s up with all the problems?

Social pathological political
environmental existential ergonomic
epidermic horoscopic systematic
Typographic nominal and deadly.

But in my dreams…
In my dreams
It’s the same

Pseudo chrono necro onanistic
Microscopic euphemistic
Anti meta histrionic
Pre traumatic monotonic
Sycophantic transatlantic
And semantic

You can do your part to raise awareness interrupt
Whatever’s going on with people, lift your voice
And point your finger, call them names and
Beat them up then say what’s up with all the problems

The Shut-Ups Atlanta, Georgia

We're a five-piece new-wave power-pop band from Atlanta and Athens, GA and practice daily at 6AM. We do more before 8AM than most bands do all week.

We're not about Pleasure or Fun. You may enjoy listening to us. You may not. You may pretend to enjoy us because others you respect seem to. They may be pretending, too. In which case you may want to consider what else they're pretending about. ... more
