lyrics
TRIAL
One day I awoke to find the sun
Beating down on me
Thoughts and fears filling my mind
The truth was beating down on me
For that day
I stood trial
For all of my lies and denials
For my lack of discipline
And responsibility
I awoke and faced my judge
The mirror said that I'm guilty
I could not believe it
As the verdict was passed
The mirror said that I'm guilty
How can this be true
My sentencing followed soon after
My insides torture me
I cannot rest from my sight
I cannot be free
Until it is made right
The trial becomes my trial
One day I awoke to find the sun
Beating down on me
Thoughts and fears filling my mind
The truth was beating down on me
For that day
I stood trial
For all of my lies and denials
For my lack of discipline
And responsibility
I awoke and faced my judge
The mirror said that I'm guilty
I could not believe it
As the verdict was passed
The mirror said that I'm guilty
How can this be true
My sentencing followed soon after
My insides torture me
I cannot rest from my sight
I cannot be free
Until it is made right
The trial becomes my trial

A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!!

It's really awesome to hear the old tracks in the Out of Step lineup. In My Eyes sounds especially great here!

Springtime and Blind
by Fiddleheadsupported by 31 fans who also own “Trial”
A friend with a reliably fine musical taste posted this album on FB and I wasn't disappointed. Love the guitar sound and the passionate vocals (melodic enough to not pass as screamo or whatever). Punk rock spirit yet with a lot of dynamics (definitely a yes to the Dischord reference) and compact songs that won't leave your head for a long time. Many many great tunes on here but for the moment USMA and Lay Low have to be my favorites! Great band, very happy to have found them!

Polish noise-crust outfit eschews the big Tragedy-esque riffs still popular with their US counterparts for scratchy claustrophobia.
