quirky, well-mixed drums and guitar lines with some groat synth stabs...Crush the Hate...hook is so poignant...loved the mix of vocals...the echoes, the additional banter left and right and the lead vocal...ooohs at 2:40...ethereal harmonies....what a message!! liked the Rhodes sound in the keys near the end! Preach it! :)

<3 this!! Love the guitar/drum work, inventive lyrics and the cool, confident vocal attack :D Brilliant!! :D

CRUSH THE HATE  (JunkHeap (c) Jul 2017 / Re-fixed Jul 2023) 

So cold; inflicts pain; to some it feels justified.
So bold, in hard times; amplified.
It wants to check your birthplace.

Seen as civilized to some;
by those who want to change society's face.

Crush the hate.

In times not far in the past, it simmered,
under the horizon; puts on its dimmers.  
Waiting for it's chance. We need to...

Crush the hate.

If it feels a little belittled, oppressed, depressed, 
suppressed, distressed, recessed;
it wants to lash out, 
and if it lifts its head; its ugly face.

Crush the hate.

If you have any difference in the colour of your skin.  
...look out.  ya they'll take you down.

Crush the hate.

If you're different in any way.  Ya you better look out.

Crush the hate.

At work, it's under the surface,
subtle and subversive.

At school it wants to be seen, as mean,
powerful and extreme.

Crush the hate.

Find alternatives to Soundcloud for your music.  If you don't get much response to your music, don't give up.  Soundcloud doesn't have respect for musicians, it's all about profit.  Saddens me.  It used to be different.  

The name JunkHeap came from creating song ideas and leaving them for later, and then picking through the junk heap of ideas to enhance a new song idea.  Explore my discography, find something you like.  

All of my albums on Soundcloud have been reduced to a sampling of a few songs.  The complete albums are available on all streaming sites.

JunkHeap is a solo, alternative rock music project.  Unapologetic, thought-provoking, emotionally raw music for the masses...

It's about you, the listeners.  I hope you get something out of my songs.  The lyrics are in the song name link.
