Believer

Home Coming

A love letter to people who love us.
Music for ex-cons and laborers.
To those that feel like cultural outsiders
To the left of center of metal Community around the connection between rap and metal Drill into all the elements make the groove is danceable and as heavy as possible There’s some elitist whispering and dark corners about this but we will not accept maintenance of the status quo.

If You Talk

For Tim Mooney RIP

still lake in summer
fireflies in your old jar
the slide’s too steep
you’ll fall if you don’t grow wings
feathers of a crow

crushed petals, medicine cabinet treasures
kerosene lamp wicks burn down slow
the woods out back hold secrets for your name only
when we run there we can’t be seen

first time I left home I was 16
my every last possession in a worn trunk
now holds old letters
their meanings lost long ago
what if they’re the last words you get?

people never stay long
paths cross like the lines on your hand
keep them still  
while you can

this time you want to go so fast
will be missed
live it now forever
while you can
the only age that matters
is the one we’re in


Plain was launched in 1993 by Brian Saxon(Satan's Cheerleaders), Glenn Habas, Nathaniel Bigger and John Ellis.  Singer Dmitra Smith(Voodoo Dolly, Ex's With Benefits, Static People)joined in 1994.  Inspired by vintage tremolo, fuzz guitar and a low-fi aesthetic, Plain recorded most of their songs on a 4-track in a basement apartment in San Francisco's Mission district.  The band released a debut 7" vinyl "Diamond Finish", with two singles in 1994 on Nathanus Records and a 12" vinyl follow up "Queenie" in 1995. In 2012 Dmitra recorded vocals on some of Brian and John's newer tracks.  They are included here along with the old sad hits.
