    Flint, Michigan's Braidedveins return with another slab of stunning post-hardcore that is sure to please fans of Fugazi, At the Drive-In and Refused. The EP offers up three new songs, each with three different fictional perspectives on survival in a hyper-capitalist post-apocalypse. What does survival mean? What does it cost? What it is worth? What does it require? How does it change you? What did you do to survive?

What have we become? What were we already, before everything we've done. And what good can survive, when we survive just long enough to know everything dies? Everything dies. Are you prepared to come to terms with what you've made? Prepared to come to terms with what remains? What if nothing ever changes? All eyes opened wide and closed at the same time. Always watching, always waiting, always something. Hungry and familiar, always coming. Scratching at the door, always something. Hungry and familiar, always coming.

Let Me Go 03:00
I am a bird above myself, hovering. I am transparent now, I am a whisper. I am anywhere but here. I am anything but this. Anything but this. i will be still. In order to survive this moment, and the next, I will be still. I will be sure, that all of this will pass. And though I know it is impossible to know. I will be sure that all of this can't last. I can't know everything I know. Let me go. In order to survive, I imagine I can never be contained. I become the smoke that rises up and melts away. That which makes you turn your face ashamed. Ashamed of what you've seen. Ashamed of what you know. Let me go, let me go. Let me go. I am a bird above myself, hovering. I am transparent now, I am a whisper. I am anywhere but here, I am anything but this. I am everything I've done just to exist. Let me go.

We become what we accept. We become what we can take. We become what we have made. We become this exchange. the worst of what we need. For the least of our concern. What's survival worth? What's survival worth? We become what we endure. We become what we can learn. We become what we deserve. We become what we accept. And what we least expect. We become what we deserve. We become what we deserve. What did you do to survive?
