Disaster Chickens

LUNAR NOVA EP

cold world, mean streets 
riots in the summer heat
same shit, repeat
Does anyone care?
there's something floating in the air, they say the revolution's coming
no compliance no more running
The revolution's coming!
a kid cries, clinging to his mother's thigh
seeing what he shouldn't see
another brother dies
and it seems we only have just enough to get by
why apologize when the agenda is genocide?
pick your poison: pistol or a picket sign?
flaming bottles fly at the faces of the liars
while he's still running
while the politician's running
The revolution's coming!
blood bath, come clean
you said you wanted anarchy 
homicide, live streamed
we know it ain't fair 
but it's coming
better get prepared and if you're scared you probably should be
things are just not as they should be
The revolution's coming!

Get Off The Grid Theme Song

Barb's Freshman solo offering, The Fighter, is a quasi concept album that elevates and jerks you through the emotional highs and lows of falling in and out of love, struggling to remain creative in the face of turmoil and strained relationships, and maybe more than anything, battling (and eventually surrendering to and making peace with) the shadows that lurk within all of us. While much of the album artwork depicts the physical conflict, this record is ultimately about accepting that the flip side to shining brightly is knowing the darkest dark, and that we must embrace the eternal balancing act that is required to keep ourselves from plunging into the depths or floating so high that we are no longer grounded and we lose our authenticity. The balance bar that appears repeatedly throughout the record is hope. 

"We might lose all the hard stuff, but you'll always have this spot, right here in my heart, 'cause what you give is what you've got." -The Ground

"Hard times will come again, and violence strikes to the hearts of men, but what it is they fail to see, is we are one and you will always be in my heart." -Heart

"Life might give me lemons, well I'll squeeze them in my cup, add a little sugar and make lemonade but I'm never ever gonna give up." -Never Give Up

"But look right here, here's a little spark, there's always hope even in the darkest dark." -The Fighter

So the message here is this: Whatever you're going through, hang on to whatever little spark you can find, because on the other side of the darkness there is light. I promise.

Barb Carbon is a folk/roots-rock musical artist from Atlanta, Georgia, USA. She performs as a solo act, as well as with her musical partner, Arrie Bozeman, in the band The Ain’t Sisters. Carbon’s influences are rooted in the beautifully raw, gritty sounds of Shovels and Rope, The Avett Brothers, and Lucinda Williams, and the earnest, inspired songwriting of Patty Griffin, The Indigo Girls, and Brandi Carlile, among others.

Barb makes music that is as accessible as it is personal. A masterful poet, Carbon is able to strip away the layers of her own experience, exposing the nerve and laying her finger on the emotional essence of our shared struggles and hopes. 

Boldy exploring genres, she delivers her art dressed with a punk rock edge, an alt-country drawl, or the trappings of kick drum-driven Americana, but at the core of her diverse catalogue beats the heart of folk music, which has always existed for the same reason - to tell our truth.

Patience

I am an exceedingly useful vagabond oboist.
