Deeply Unlovable

No sisterhood. I wish you would be open armed.
Entirely disarmed.
But you side-eye me, shape and size me.
Compare, contrast, always a first and last.
And it’s a shame, it’s such a shame.
It’s such a shame, and we don’t need any more shame.

Deeply unlovable, yeah.

No self-respect ‘til we reject the tags they hang around our necks.
Cos they divide us to undermine us.
Puke wax nip tuck
Nothing’s ever good enough.

But it’s a game, it’s all a game.
It’s just a game and we don’t need to play your game.

Deeply unlovable, yeah.

Cut it out…..

Deeply unlovable, yeah.
I feel so
Deeply unlovable, yeah.
Why do I feel so
Deeply unlovable, yeah.

LYRICS

What hope left for us now
Shrouded under a sombre cloud of uncertainty
Will we die here or learn how to survive here?

We shelter in sound
Clinging to the strings to keep from falling
A perfect release, determined to find peace in this turbulence.

We are iron-clad
Braver under the iron mask of creativity
Checking out of reality

We shelter in sound
Clinging to the strings to keep from falling
A perfect release, determined to find peace in this turbulence.

Oh Oh we are fireproof
Oh oh we are detahproof

We shelter in sound
Clinging to the strings to keep from falling
A perfect release, determined to find peace in this turbulence.

(C) Kel (The Empty Page)

PRESS RELEASE
Cristina EP
released 19th June 2013 on major digital platforms

Desperate Journalist are a band from London. Veering from gothic anti-ballads to driving disco punk, their sound is one of melody and melodrama.

Lead track Cristina is a perfect three minute noise-pop record, literate lyrics about the frustration of settling for comfortable adult routines carried by an impassioned, soaring vocal, brightly anthemic twelve string guitar lines and a forceful, elegant rhythm section.
Mistakes follows, exhibiting the band’s eloquent tunefulness again and leading with a punchy, disco-inflected bassline and beat; the lyrics all self-conscious regret
expressed with sarcastic wit. The set takes a turn into more abrasive territory with Kitten, a ferocious post-punk mantra, its ‘Never apologise, never explain’ refrain building to a shrieking climax. Wait is a cinematic, gothic closer based around a lugubrious bassline and whispering drums with flashes of sharp guitars shifting between dreamlike cascades of choruses.

The band’s first gig, in the appropriately contrary setting of a grunge club night, was rapturously received and since then the band have gained a passionate following from a series of intense and popular gigs throughout the capital, as well as releasing a self-directed video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLFRVPhgtqU) for the eponymous track from their forthcoming ‘Cristina’ EP, released digitally on 19th June.

Desperate Journalist are: Jo Bevan (voice), Rob Hardy (guitar), Simon Drowner (bass) & Caz Hellbent (drums)
