We love a big event and a single is big news, especially when it is a bit of a humdinger on aviation fuel. USA punkers Forsaken Profits have thrown the new track “Knives” into the bulls’ eye, out on Anything But Radio Records.

It is an attack of the berserk guitars and thrashing drums from the start. The lead vocals growl the lyrics, asserting an anger and need for release from his growing torment. The harmonising singers in the background are the punk equivalent of doowop, as the track thunders along, and we ride to the end of the line with the pain train.

A sharp blade can excise a malignant growth, but slicing away at a brain sounds like trying to forget there is a issue. Remember kids, that playing with sharp objects can be dangerous, unless it is listening to the Forsaken Profits, as they stab you in the ears with “Knives.”

I do like me a bit of oi oi, two finger salute in the general vicinity of political and social fuckery. Punk music is the perfect conduit, and the Forsaken Profits, from the USA, have released the single “Decayed,” out on Anything But Radio Records, and featuring the talents of Tyler Capehart (vocals), Bryan Kyle (guitar), Jermain Payne (bass) and Joel Perdue (drums).

In true punk fashion, “Decayed” is just a tad over two minutes long, so there is little surprise that this track is a goer from the start. Insane drumming will keep the most critical of headbangers, happily slapping their brains inside their bony casings. The vocals are unapologetic and rough as fuck, like after a night on the turps and with nothing left to lose. The guitars punch you in the guts and, occasionally, delicately scream in your face with excellent riffs.

Now, this could be taken as a song about a zombie apocalypse….. or it could be about the fact that currently the world is more fucked up than ever and we need to do better. The zombies are the faithful willing to go along with genocide and ecological destruction, while having moral compasses looser than a bunch of evangelicals at a youth gathering. Forsaken Profits are loud and brash, and “Decayed” is just we way we like it.
