The latest in the slow drip of "Lockdown Sessions" content! I recorded all of this on July 21st, 2020, but never got around to editing it, and the eventually forgot all about it. But here it is! Take a trip down memory lane to 2019, when the Hella Mega Tour was just announced, and Amber Lamps played their still-most-recent show, covering "Grand Theft Autumn" by Fall Out Boy. Always a fun one to play live, we figured we'd record it so you can enjoy while you wait for the end of Lockdown!

King Takes Pawn Demo 11-22-2024

Official Lyrics:
No celebration, just indignation now
It's only begun, no doubt
This is what you asked for
People are desperate, so when the despot sings
Line up to kiss the rings
And let 'em see your passport

So many "patriots" so full of hatred. Weird.
Nothing is sacred here, but it doesn't matter
You're under their thumb.
But when the dogs come out who will you run to?
They've already pulled the ladder

Sky's falling. That man is nobody's savior
Sky's falling when the truth means nothing
I don't wanna talk about it
No future. You only get what you paid for
No future when the good do nothing.
I can't take it anymore

Neighbors are fuming
Like there's a looming threat
Business is booming, yet
No the way you wanted
You're on a shoestring, so burn the whole thing down
Forget the offspring now
They're forever haunted

Sky's falling. That man is nobody's savior
Sky's falling when the truth means nothing
I don't wanna talk about it
No future. You only get what you paid for
No future when the good do nothing.
I can't take it anymore

Racist, con man, baby with a fake tan
Sexist, loser, serial abuser
Hater, traitor, nobody's savior
Ruthless, toothless, don't know what the truth is
Criminal, jerk, will talk himself in circles
Cocaine drug den, pocket full of yes-men
Witless, thin-skinned, should be imprisoned
Deadbeat: dad, kids never pay their taxes
Nazi apologist, pseudo-pharmacologist
Only learned to fake it, dish it cannot take it
This is not a game, so don't you try to call me out
I didn't say his name, you know exactly who I'm talking about

Sky's falling. That man is nobody's savior
Sky's falling when the truth means nothing
I don't wanna talk about it
No future. You only get what you paid for
No future when the good do nothing.
I can't take it

Nobody's Savior

Nobody's Savior Demo 1-27-2025

On The Lamb EP

Wanderlust

Seemed appropriate. For the second Lockdown Sessions track, a cover from Green Day's 1997 classic "Nimrod,"
We figure this song is fitting for a number of reasons.

Redundant - Green Day (Cover)

The First from the Lockdown Sessions: A cover of Foo Fighters' "On The Mend" from the often overlooked disc 2 of 2005's "In Your Honor." Recorded in lockdown in Astoria on April 18th as a tribute to Brian's grandmother, who passed on April 7th of complications from COVID-19.
Re-uploaded May 7, 2020 with improved audio

On The Mend - Foo Fighters (cover)

I'm pretty excited about this one. Featuring our drummer Jenna on lead vocals, here is our pop-punk cover of ABBA's "Mamma Mia." Why? Because.

Mamma Mia - ABBA (Cover)

Featuring guest piano by Max Naftol, the latest Lockdown Sessions track is the classic "Birthday" by The Beatles. For all of us who have to miss out on celebrating or having a proper birthday party this year.

Birthday - Beatles (Cover)

Three-piece punk rock band from New York.
