I believe in finding quiet downstream Don't have to ask me twice, it's my time to leave. And it seems - it chips like teeth to concrete. Bite my tongue too long can't hardly speak. So tonight I'll leave it. Beneath time and reason. I'm counting down the seasons. 'Til it's drawn from memory. I believe the footprints all around me Only let you see what I want you to see. I agree - that shit's so fucking weak. Already died in public eye. No judge, no trial, no jury. Everything you said you'd do. But didn't follow through. Said you wouldn't consume But you don't have a clue. Not everything has a substitute. Not everything can be fixed by you.

about

CONVR86 is Painted on Smile, the debut LP from Denver's Public Opinion. One part ultra-catchy punk, one part exorcism, it’s an album that reckons with self-loathing and self-doubt so thoroughly that by the end of it, maybe things don’t seem as cursed after all. Painted On Smile somehow draws together the melodicism of early aughts rock, the intensity of hardcore, and the spiky swagger of primordial punk into a surprisingly cohesive blend. Lyrically, the album hinges on Hart’s ability to capture existential frustration without stumbling into self-pity.

Painted on Smile comes out September 6th.
