Die Commuting
from Demo 2015 by NYC HEADHUNTERS
lyrics
Moving at half speed, but the crowd’s just too fast
Gotta be cutthroat, or you’re getting in last
Push and shove, there’s always room for one more
Can’t get a seat? Mush your face on the door
Daily grind’s stripped your feeling away
Late for the last time, no excuses today
Mind’s anywhere else than what’s beneath your feet
Step off the platform and your heart skips a beat
Could’ve happened
To anyone but you
Only realize
When your head hits the tracks
This is life at the top, squeezing in like cattle
Stare at wack ads, pretend nothing’s the matter
Just suck it up for a couple more years
Drowning the dread in afterwork beers
Cuz this daily grind’s stripped your feeling away
Late for the last time, no excuses today
Shove through the masses, cuz might makes right
At the end of this tunnel, don’t wanna see the light
Should’ve happened
To anyone but you
Just couldn’t imagine
Eating shit on commute
Gotta be cutthroat, or you’re getting in last
Push and shove, there’s always room for one more
Can’t get a seat? Mush your face on the door
Daily grind’s stripped your feeling away
Late for the last time, no excuses today
Mind’s anywhere else than what’s beneath your feet
Step off the platform and your heart skips a beat
Could’ve happened
To anyone but you
Only realize
When your head hits the tracks
This is life at the top, squeezing in like cattle
Stare at wack ads, pretend nothing’s the matter
Just suck it up for a couple more years
Drowning the dread in afterwork beers
Cuz this daily grind’s stripped your feeling away
Late for the last time, no excuses today
Shove through the masses, cuz might makes right
At the end of this tunnel, don’t wanna see the light
Should’ve happened
To anyone but you
Just couldn’t imagine
Eating shit on commute

Negative Hardcore (LUNGS-188)
by GEHENNAsupported by 4 fans who also own “Die Commuting”
Why do I love this album, Bandcamp asks? Because nihilism can be a gift whether intentioned well or otherwise. This is not a record you turn on to feel good about with, or to silently tap your foot as you gaze out a window thinking of the birds & fairies, rather a warning to yourself that what lies within needs to be freed without haste, and killed. #COTSC

CHOKEHOLD Content With Dying
by Chokeholdsupported by 4 fans who also own “Die Commuting”
Chokehold, a metallic hardcore band from Canada, with Beastie Boys touches. Their 2nd LP Content with Dying is easily their angriest and most passionate. This 1995 LP is impressively simplistic. Keeping a mid-tempo on the LP, they plod and chug along with some headbanging riffs, well shown on the opening track "Underneath". Not the most varied record, it's the same kind of chuggy riffs through the whole LP. Yet this LP remains one of the heaviest in the genre. Essential for any 90s hardcore fan!
