lyrics

Teacher can't help now he's gone mad
That old bitch pulls out her flask
Popping those pills ain't gonna learn him
Not for a twelve-year-old that's yearning, Oh no

Floodgates open to your eyes, yet you don't seem to mind
The crying of a helpless child, trampled on a shallow tide

Call him a madman
But the man was born to kill
He's the animal mother

He's been locked up for nine months now
Judge says next week they'll let him out
Jail time may not have done him in
Behind those bars the madman grins

Call him a madman
But the man was born to kill
He's the animal mother

Dirty and low-hanging riffs with electric blues inspired lyrics. Perfect to just kick back and drop out to. You'll sit there and wonder how a band could be so damn good. Max Johnson

This album rips off such heavy riffs hard from start to finish. I love the bluesy swing with the vocals, the screaming guitar, thundering bass and delirious, vital, pounding and crashing drums. Every track is great. frogczar

Throwing softness and subtlety to the wind, Stockholm's Lowrider raze a molten, stoner-rock warpath, all fuzzy riffs and percussive grit. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 19, 2020
