Title references Ekko Astral's 2024 album "pink balloons" which balanced humor with serious trans liberation themes. This song captures that energy—proving "the revolution can be fun" while addressing deadly serious issues. Verses juxtapose joy and survival: trans kids playing in parks with legislation trying to erase them; queer couples dancing at Pride while 84 injuries and 10 deaths from violent attacks in just one year; glaad drag performers bringing art and beauty while fighting drag bans in multiple states. GLAAD
The dynamic shifts between pop-punk brightness and hardcore fury mirror the emotional whiplash of existing as LGBTQ+ in 2025. Chorus: "Pink balloons and Molotov cocktails / Dancing through the apocalypse / They want us dead, we want to live / So we're throwing both—beauty and bricks." References actual victories: 92% of anti-LGBTQ bills defeated in 2025, aclu drag bans ruled unconstitutional, the resilience of communities building mutual aid networks. Bridge is tender—a love song between partners promising to survive together.

Pink Balloons and Molotov Cocktails

A celebration of young workers leading the labor resurgence. Opens with the statistics: 77% of workers under 34 approve of unions, 88% of workers under 30, support crossing partisan lines. Center for American ProgressTraprock Verses tell the stories: The predominantly young Starbucks Workers United organizing 537 stores; Restaurant Dive grad students organizing 20,000+ since 2022; young workers at Amazon, in tech, in schools bringing "imagination, creativity and fresh strategies" to the movement.
Chorus is defiant: "We're not asking, we're organizing / No one's coming to save us anyway / The adults haven't won, only we can / Gen Z ain't asking, we're here to stay." References actual youth organizing language and approach. Bridge addresses why: Starting from behind, crushing student debt, housing unaffordable, climate crisis, no job security, nothing left to lose. But turns that precarity into power: "You gave us nothing, so we've got nothing to lose / You broke the system, now we're breaking through." Ends with union chants: "I believe that we will win!"

Gen Z Ain't Asking

Opens the album with the GLAAD statistic: 932 anti-LGBTQ incidents in one year, 2.5 per day. But the song expands to show this is part of a larger pattern—575 anti-LGBTQ bills, aclu 27 states banning gender-affirming care, aclu 13.4% of children in poverty, Firstfocus 271,500 workers on strike. The chorus chants: "An injury to one is an injury to all / They're coming for us, they're coming for all / No left and right, just have and have not / 932 days till we tear this whole thing apart." References the Gender Liberation March linking trans rights and abortion rights, the intersectionality between all struggles. The 19th News Sets the urgent, angry, but hopeful tone.

932 Days

A defiant liberation anthem directly inspired by 2024-2025 trans rights protests. Fast, aggressive verses detail the attacks (Trump executive orders, Puerto Rico's ban, the violence documented by GLAAD) Wikipedia +2 contrasted with a massive, singable chorus using actual protest chants: "We're here, we're trans, get used to it!" and "Trans rights are human rights!" References the Transgender Day of Visibility marches across dozens of cities. Newsweek Bridge slows down for spoken-word testimonial about a tra ns kid just trying to exist, then explodes back into fury. Celebrates trans joy as resistance while acknowledging the life-threatening reality.

Originally conceived in October 2019 & later recorded in December, Bottom Feeder was one of a few songs I wrote during the time I was in my first ever band, whilst studying music performance & production at CCSW College, Cheshire.

Whilst studying, I started a short-lived hardcore-punk band with two good friends, blending heavy guitar riffs with the melody and lyricsm of heavy metal. We jammed Bottom Feeder for almost two months before we set off to record it as an intial demo with our friend Mason Parton in the recording studio in college.

The demo was recorded and then the STEM files sat for six years, unknown to anyone except us (the band.) Finally in september 2025, I decided to retackle re-recording certain guitar takes and filling in bass, so that this over five year old demo can be publicly heard for the first ever time.

Lyrics:
Useless memeber of society
What the fuck, do you even wanna be
Watching others
live life for you
Flush your potential
Down the loo

Bottom feeder
Mouth-breather
Waste of fucking air
No value, no worth
Do you even care

Antithesis of the word human
Leaching from pockets of other men
You are nothing, sack of piss and wind
Sat in your chair
When you stand the world spins

Bottom feeder
Mouth-breather
Waste of fucking air
No value, no worth
Do you even care

Fight Your Feelings (Live at The Vic)

Peyronie’s disease

“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)

What happens when a federal agent happens to be a serial killer. Enabled by his job, he hunts the streets for his next victim, backed and empowered by the man. Welcome to the Creepshow!

A short essay, I intend on releasing a full version of this inside my “manifesto” which will be accompanying the TOTAL MISANTHROPY EP (spring 2026). This “manifesto” will cover various topics including: data privacy, neoliberalism, online “cults” and more! Stay tuned.

The purpose of this project is NOT to glorify, romanticize, or encourage this type of issue in any way, shape, or form. The purpose, however, is to raise awareness about the rise in these cases (which seem to grow more and more as the days trudge forth), give possible solutions on how this could be avoided, and overall start up some dialogue about this shit. 
This song chronicles Trinity’s experience as a victim of the online sextortion “cult,” 764. The cult in question was comprised of several teenagers and young adults whose main goal was to exploit as many children as possible for laughs. In my opinion, the term “cult” is being used for nothing more than sensationalist nonsense. 764 claim to follow “satanism” yet their version recognizes Satan as a representation of “absolute evil” - not the secular humanist philosophy founded by Anton LaVey in the 60s. They also tend to play around with neo-nazi ideology from time to time, while having many POC members from around the world. They don’t actually follow any sort of dogma, nor do they partake in rituals (contrary to what news sources may suggest), and mainly utilize symbols like the pentagram for show. Long story short, they are using these concepts for nothing more than shock value, and are more akin to incel 4chan trolls than anything else.
From my understanding, 764 (and many other groups similar) utilize basic hacking techniques along with social engineering to manipulate young, naive children into performing increasingly depraved acts (including but not limited to: incest, murdering family pets, suicide, and more). With just a little bit of basic education surrounding OPSEC (web privacy) and communication, this type of situation is easily avoidable:
- Never use your real name online, use a nickname or initial
- Never reveal your location or any specific details of where you live
- Use a VPN to hide your IP address (there are many out there, proton vpn is free and has good reviews)
- COMMUNICATION: provide your child, or whoever, with a safe space to come forward and speak about sensitive information without fear of retribution. 
- Pay attention to body language, are they withdrawn? seem on edge? are they clinging tightly to their phones?
Here’s a link to a great educational video on basic OPSEC:

With that said, I don’t believe my music or this essay will “change the world,” I’m just hoping to change minds.

MULTIGENRE SOLO PROJECT FROM MOLDOVA
MAIN GENRE: GOREGRIND/PORNOGORE/MINCEGORE
UNBLUR COVERS ON BANDCAMP

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 punk / hardcore project marks a raw return to  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.
