Based on the last words from Edward "Blackbeard" Teach before he was killed in a fight. A story of death on the dark seas. From the 2025 project "14Again" from the Punk outfit "Not Down Yet".

“Finding Trouble (Ode to Nick Cage)” is a voodoo-soaked punk anthem from Not Down Yet. Inspired by the haunted folklore surrounding Nicolas Cage and his infamous LaLaurie mansion (French Quarter, New Orleans), the track blends post-hardcore aggression with melodic grit and a twisted sense of humor. Screaming guitars, pounding drums, and vocals that swing between fury and confession make this a raw, energetic, and strangely beautiful chaos. It’s part exorcism, part rock show, and entirely human — a reminder that sometimes the ghosts we fight are the ones we make ourselves.


Finding Trouble (Ode to NC)

Born in the fall of 2025, Not Down Yet is what happens when a lifelong musician decides to stop polishing and start bleeding again. This one-man hard punk / hardcore / rock project marks a raw return to Edge Case’s underground roots — loud, fast, imperfect, and alive.
The debut album, 14Again, drags punk’s ragged heart through a modern grinder — emotional, aggressive, and melodic all at once. Guitars scream, bass lines snarl, and vocals refuse to stay in a single genre. It’s simple music that hits like a brick through glass — unfiltered, imperfect, and completely honest.
Not Down Yet isn’t about chasing perfection. It’s about capturing a feeling — that split-second before the crash when everything is real. You’ll hear emotion over precision, chaos over calculation, and a hook or two that won’t leave your skull once they get in there.
Love it or hate it, Not Down Yet doesn’t care. The point isn’t to please you. It’s to wake you up.
