Amputee 02:53
Amputee I am a trilobite, scrambling on ancient ocean floors Trailing a cloud of blood beckoning to eager carnivores Dragging my heavy carapace up unfamiliar sandy shores Blinking in blinding light, my vision blurred, unfocused The beating sun fortifies defenses. Bones will mend. Blood will clot. Scars remind. I will adjust. I will Fight! Survive! Fuck! Evolve! Our tribulations are not packaged big and small For what one of us stands to burden, another can’t lift at all So when I say “I only lost an inch that day” If you read between the lines I speak, you’ll see my disarray Addiction! Depression! Prescriptions! Correction! What happens in a blink cost hours under the knife And the surgery undoes the work I’ve been building all my life  At the bottom of the bottle Whether alcohol or opiate Fight! Survive! Fuck! Evolve! Fight! Survive! Fuck! Evolve! Brave a never-ending battle When a bullet seems appropriate Fight! Survive! Fuck! Evolve! Fight! Survive! Fuck! Evolve! I am a troglodyte, huddling around a dying flame I am a divorceé, cowering embarrassed and ashamed I am an amputee waking in recovery room beds Blinking in blinding light, my vision blurred unfocused So I drink myself under tables And I celebrate with friends Because I stared Death in her yellow eyes And I swore this ain’t the end Because I’ve tasted bitter failure And I faced my greatest fear So when I sing along to my favorite songs I know “I’m still fucking here!”

Black Bloc 03:03
Black Bloc The gears of progress can only be oiled By the blood spilled by imperials and bourgeoisie The ninety-nine cannot be silenced by the one  We raise our fists and bricks and fight inequality  There’s strength in numbers And in anonymity Black bloc Because our parts are greater as a whole Black bloc Like the carbon pressed and formed as coal Black bloc And the fires that burn inside our souls Black bloc Will ignite and engulf the city whole Fuck the letter to your congressmen We gotta burn it down and start again Because their power structure’s written in their code Trash properties of global companies And reclaim the space for our communities Fell the walls of Jericho The gears of progress can only turn ‘round the shaft of crosses bearing leaders of fascist regimes The ninety-nine cannot be shackled by the one So we mobilize and form a strategy: “Eradicating class By any necessary means” Black bloc We act as one, in a true democracy Black bloc Each a piece of a magnificent machine Black bloc A living organism spreading in the streets Black bloc A stirring beast roused to feast on authority The bricks we hurl at police today Will build the radical free schools of tomorrow So share a drink with a friend and a neighbor Light an oily rag and wad it into the bottle Fuck the letter to your congressmen We gotta burn it down and start again Because the neo-nazis have politicized Women, transgender and queer Against their rubber bullets and riot gear Sound your horn and amplify

Colossus 02:09
Colossus The 2016 US presidency was won on a platform of blatant racism, most notably the proposed Muslim travel ban and US / Mexico border wall. To this, we say: "Divided we fall!" Black lines and shades of pastel colors Adorn the face of mounted globes No borders span across the prairies No walls divide their gentle slopes Some men wish to forge them between us Some men with no love in their hearts War elephants deployed to battle Machines designed to scar the earth Generals dispatching calvaries Are contractors commanding serfs The Great Wall of Bigots Designed by our president Posing for a photo op To “Make America White Again” Egos rival Ozymandias This demagogue has claimed this land So we of all nations and backgrounds Join at the line drawn in the sand Colossus! Colossus! Fill the trenches dredged for the foundation Brothers and sisters locking arms Together bearing our afflictions Like a crown of thorns We, the immigrants Мы, иммигранты We, the dissidents Мы, диссиденты Condemn this monument Dismantled brick by brick

'Till Debt Do We Part The devil wears a three piece suit And offers financing At a low introductory rate Initial after the fine print Sign your name away And bow to the mercies of fate Cannibals collecting skulls In capital lined catacombs Fattening on equity Animals, insatiable Sucking marrow, shitting greed Hemorrhaging your salary Payments on time, six months same as cash Raise your limit. Repeat. Rehash. The mire swallows the hourglass Like sirens sing to sinking ships Extortionists rehearsing scripts “What’s yours is mine until debt do we part!” Drowned at sea, clutched to debris See the loan sharks circling With soulless eyes and rows of teeth The scent of blood stirs a frenzy Your credit score, shredded and maimed No dignity remains And our economy’s Still based upon slavery Don’t believe me? Have you checked Your credit statement lately? Our masters whips our backs with fees and tax Interest and kickbacks “Но полетят ваши головы с плеч!” Burn the banks, storm the vaults Erase all debt and loan defaults With our steel against their necks They’ll view us as human yet Prisoners: riot! Slaves: revolt! Our captors perch on dunes of gold Dethrone and shame men playing god And ready the firing squad Like a cancer to the surgeon Cleansing Wall Street of it’s vermin Once liberated, we shall deem Amerika, land of the free.

Press Release:

Whether Russia or United States, politics are the same. Corrupt politicians and the super rich exploit the working class and build their empires on the backs of the perpetually poor. As connectivity makes our world smaller, unrest echos from murmurs and grows to roars. From Moscow to Pittsburgh, ДИССИДЕНТЫ (DISSIDENTE) screams.

Two Russian immigrants and a native Pittsburgher band together to sound their battle cries of hardcore, crust and ska-core in the face of injustice. Their freshman EP “Frontline” was recorded at local studio R&R Audio, mixed at the famed Blasting Room in Ft. Collins, Colorado, mastered at Rain City Recorders in Vancouver, BC and released independently on June 1st. It rips into the Trump presidency’s proposed border wall with “Colossus”, and trumpets a call to arms through organized protest in “Black Bloc”. The album is rounded out decrying creditors in “Til Debt Do We Part” and reflects on addiction in the personal “Amputee”.

They spread their message in the American northeast this summer. Their sophomore EP begins production this August.
