@djwandasnyderhefbg: I am so sick of these fucking bots. I guess theyre my followers now....king of the robots

It bugs me that the guitar line sounds like GSF by mxpx lol....oh fucking well

[lyrics: i wont go quietly into darkness/i'll shout out obscenities/thank them for the amenities/I cant find shoes to go on my feet/Or withstand the depravity/and all the excess gravity/The sidewalks crack beneath my toes/The sound is so terrible/It's fucking unbearable/And when I grin my grill is reflecting/The six arms of Shiva/Holding six meat cleavers///Chorus: I'm stomping down the only street I know/Undaunting in my efforts to push through/The terra-firma can not take my weight/I'm heavy man, gravity is too much to take///The news reports a six point eight/When I venture into town/Ventura sinks and drowns/I throw off orbits and cause the tides to rise/And act as a catalyst/For the errors of analysts/My eyes are like saturn and jupiter/Two dueling planets/Take each other for granted/X-flares consume my frozen heart/There's burn holes in everything/I should write something clever to sing (no)///repeat chorus///Outro: So Heavy Man, So Heavy Man, the gravity is pushing me, pushing me, pushing me down (end)]

(***New videos up on youtube. The page for my americana/roots side project Koala?! and the Exploding Meth Lab can now be found at www.soundcloud.com/theexplodingmethlab
KOALA has been making d.i.y. bedroom outsider lo-fi anti folk punk since 2003, but due to mental illness and drug addiction he lost his focus and nothing ever came of it. After sobering up and regaining a degree of sanity, he began writing and recording again in the fall of 2015. 
K0ALA was raised in Los Angeles and grew up in the punk rock and hardcore scene, moving into indie and noise rock in his young adulthood. Influences are taken from punk and hardcore, from indie folk and indie rock, from noise rock, from outsider, from folk punk, from early americana-roots, from folk and country, from alt. country and antifolk, even from the lyricism of hip hop (i.e. wu tang clan, del the funky homosapien, asher roth, el-p).

KOALA has long aimed to cultivate the chaos and urgency in his own life and capture it in his songs (whether he has failed at this or not is up to you). Noise, fuzz, overdrive, feedback, off key vocals, detuned guitars, cheap recording equipment, and of course chain smoking cheap cigarettes all add up to make the fucking mess that is KOALA?! AND THE K-HOLES

"When I first heard Koala?! and the K-Holes I thought to myself 'who do they sound like?' and when it finally came to me I realized they were the spitting image of the Arcade Fire, if the Arcade fire were, like, 78% less shitty of a band" - NME 

"Koala and the K-holes made me campaign to get the name of the zine changed to MAXIMUM FULK!, but they wouldn't agree because they said only posers like marsupials" - Maximum Rock n Roll

"If there's on artist to listen to while having questionably legal sex with animals, koala?! and the k-holes would totally be it! They're like Dave Matthews Band for severely psychologically impaired bonobo apes!" - Spin magazine
