If I Don't Tell You
03:00

It’s a toxic noise
It’s a noxious voice
The only sound that gets through
The only one to reach you.
It’s a broken seam
It’s a silent scream
Will anybody hear me?
Will anybody hear me?
Anybody could have said it just the same
You’re seeing red and it’s easier to blame
You look around with no shade of grey in sight
Nowhere to go when it’s only wrong or right?
If I don’t tell you,
Did it really happen?
Did it get a reaction?
If a stranger sees,
When I’m on my knees,
Will I get up again?
Will I ever get up again?
Anybody could have said it just the same
You’re seeing red and it’s easier to blame
You look around with no shade of grey in sight
Nowhere to go when it’s only wrong or right?
Anyone can see the damage in your words
Did you let go of your reason to be heard?
Getting lost when I read between the lines
Where do you go when there’s only wrong or right.

Birds on a Wire
04:27

We were two birds on a wire,
Watching the world going by.
When I try to speak,
Are you listening?
Do you want to hear me scream?
We were two knives in a drawer,
Sheltered and waiting for more.
When you pick me up,
Will you cut yourself?
Can we fill this room with blood?
If you wanted to save me,
You should’ve knocked on my door.
And if you wanted it so bad,
You should’ve asked me some more.
Always one eye on the door.
Always one foot on the floor.
When you look around,
Can you find yourself?
Is this really what you want?
If you wanted to save me,
You should’ve knocked on my door.
And if you wanted it so bad,
You should’ve asked me some more.
Tried and tried in the black of night,
To run and hide. To run and hide.
Tried and tried in the black of night, (I hear you, I see you)
To run and hide. To run and hide. (I hear you, I see)
I sit alone on the wire,
Watching the world going by,
I can feel the wind,
Underneath my wings,
And it’s telling me to fly.
If you wanted to save me,
You should’ve knocked on my door.
And if you wanted it so bad,
You should’ve asked me some more. X 2

The Factory
03:33
|

|
I barely recognise the arrow springing from my side
I’m hardly even bleeding from the flight
Lately I’ve been losing my sight.
Call you anonymously asking if you recognise
My serpentine is coiling down the line
Lately I’ve been losing my mind.
Lately I’ve been
Stalling
Fighting.
Close up the factory and watch the toxic pillars climb
It barely even leads me to the sky
It’s been blocking out the light.
Do you remember lost the sun at setting time?
It’s barely even dangerous to my eyes,
Lately I don’t sleep at night.
Lately I’ve been
Stalling
Fighting
Stalling.

Tunnels
05:46
|

You’ve got to pick a sign
Which one will you go for?
You’ve got to run on time
Leave me going nowhere.
I’ve got these trains, trains, trains in my head
I hear them chase, chase, chase, chasing it,
I’ve got to lay them, lay them, lay them one by one,
It’s just the same, same, same song.
But I’m building tracks below the earth,
And I’m digging tunnels in the dirt,
I’m building tracks below the earth,
And I’m digging tunnels in the dirt.
Choose your destination.
Can you open your eyes?
Deer caught in the headlights.
I’ve got these trains, trains, trains in my head
I hear them chase, chase, chase, chasing it,
I’ve got to lay them, lay them, lay them one by one,
It’s just the same, same, same song.
I’ve got these trains, trains, trains in my head
I hear them chase, chase, chase, chasing it,
I’ve got to lay them, lay them, lay them one by one,
It’s just the same, same, same song.
But I’m building tracks below the earth,
And I’m digging tunnels in the dirt,
I’m building tracks below the earth,
And I’m digging tunnels in the dirt.
Choose your destination.
Choose your destination.

Shifting Shape
02:03
|

|
Tell her to lock it inside,
It’s riding up at the sides,
Her step is pounding and pretty.
You want to cover up,
But it’s too hot in the city.
He looks for somewhere to hide
When he is ready to cry
A drop too heavy to settle, you’ve got to swim if you know how,
The water is fine now.
When everyone is looking through you,
And no one else is shifting shape,
When everyone is looking through you,
And no one else is shifting shape.
You try to look at my face,
But you don’t like what you see
Can I contort it to fit now?
This box is ready to shut
And split the shape from the shadow.
She keeps it under the hood,
The violent scent of the flood,
Honey is thicker than blood when you wear it with a smile.
Too sweet for me right now.
When everyone is looking through you,
And no one else is shifting shape,
When everyone is looking through you,
And no one else is shifting shape.
Tell me to lock it inside
He looks for somewhere to hide
Tell me to lock it inside
Tell me to lock it inside.

Hush

|
Because I am your guy in these time
I will forego formalities and brig you back my dear
Let go of the carousel
Leave em all circling themselves and let's get out of here
I may be far away from your love behind closed eyes
But maybe if you stay
We're building on muddy soil already
Why don't we make it clear?
Let go of the carousel
Let go of the carousel

What is it you need?
You bend the rules to suit the occasion,
You play the game, you plead for attention,
You do,
As long as you don’t answer the question.
The stage is set, I’m listening,
Is it too much?
For you to say exactly what you mean?
Is it too much?
We jump before we’ve ripped between the seams.
Is it too much?
To ask you not to hide the truth from me?
And now we’ve got to get over it.
And now we’ve got to get over it.
What have you achieved?
A time to celebrate this division.
It’s us, it’s you, it’s me that we count on.
What is guaranteed?
A war without a fear for the injured.
We’d rather we fight than find a solution.
From you.
When every sword is drawn from confusion.
The stage is set, I’m listening.
Is it too much?
To play the game that everyone can win.
Is it too much?
To think beyond the years of your esteem.
Is it too much?
To aggravate the company you keep.
And now we’ve got to get over it.
And now we’ve got to get over it.
What have you achieved?
It’s time to read the words that you left out.
The crack within the streets that you walk on.
It’s you.
It’s us, it’s you, it’s me that we count on.
It’s us, it’s you, it’s me that we turn on.

Operate
03:33
|

|
She said it keeps her thoughts at bay,
The road ahead begins to fray,
A little piece is bound to chip away,
And leave a standing vertebrae.
CHORUS
Through this we only operate,
On what we need to stay awake,
When we’ve lost what it best, what is left to recognise,
She dreams of humans.
She said it happens every day,
Her living words just wash away,
A little moment seems to dissipate,
Each day a step in sinking clay.
Through this we only operate,
On what we need to stay awake,
When we’ve lost what it best, what is left to recognise,
She dreams of humans.

Reach
05:15
|

|
The footprints we hide,
We both know you and I
Never were the same kind
The bloodveins reach down
We stuck it in the ground
Oh the love a child finds.
But at night with glazed eyes,
Secrets in a raised glass.
Fall asleep in daylight,
Try to find. Try to find.
In between the lines you say you push your words through me.
Your words through me.
The teeth-marks we hide
We both know you and I
Never chose the right flight
And as the time flies
We buried it alive
Cruel things a child finds.
But I’d break the bones of
Any hand on your skin.
The truth that we don’t say
Try to find, try to find.
In between the lines you say you push your words through me.
Your words through me.

Ask Me How
06:06
|
|||
|
Nothing shines bright like the dirt on my knees
When I contract from the cold hard gravel with ease
Is there hope in the eyes I am eager the please?
Are there no cracks in all the skin you see?
When I can feel your eyes looking down on me
Can I give you a look of delicacy?

HAVVK Dublin, Ireland
Grunge-fuelled indie based in Dublin.
If you like HAVVK, you may also like:
Staring at Clocks
by Bitch Falcon
supported by 6 fans who also own “Cause & Effect (Album)”
Wonderful to see Irish musicians putting out something as fresh as this, even if Bitch Falcon's influences are front and centre. The album is a fantastic mix of shoegaze and grunge (and even dream pop if I may be so bold), and it all comes together in one tight, thoroughly enjoyable package.

Her voice is a beautiful instrument, listen you'll see what I'm taking about Great beats, melodies. Not just a great Rap/ Hip Hop album, great album period.

Less obviously shoegazey than the debut, but has a really abrasive industrial or post punk feel which contrasts well with the vocals. Reminds me of Curve or maybe early Cocteaus. Lovely stuff

Fuzzy Austin trio follow up their first album in 20 years, released in Spring 2015, with a stomping new EP of noisy rock & roll.

In Black And Gold
by Hey Colossus
This snarling 6-piece from London mixes heavy, guitar-driven doom with a punk edge and psych workouts.

Blinded By Oblivion
by Axis: Sova
Axis:Sova mess with the hard rock playbook, creating playful, catchy songs that challenge as much as they rip.

Why do I love this record? it has a haunting sound with a destination. The vocals are very sweet and the riffs hook you in . The songs have a great momentem they begin at once place then end some other place and don't go in a circle . if that makes sense?
