Name: Citizen Beware (Better Version) by THIN WHITE LINE & FRIENDS in Dystopian Mix
Duration: 4 min 47 s
Description: Citizen Beware is one of my favorites. Political without being preachy. I was blessed to play along with several great guitarists, but this song was always mine, and I have always been proud of the work I did on it. I'm even prouder of Bob Porter's lyrics, written as the Steel Mills crashed around us, they ring just as true today as they did so many years ago.

Glass Houses

Favorite Part Demo

We recorded this at Duquesne University, they had recently added a sound design major. We were Brian Cobb's class project. The songs came out well, and were the backbone of the Something Invincible release.

Citizen Beware (Better Version)

Towers Open Fire is a song that grabs me just as hard today as it did the first time I heard it. No recording does it justice, and there was nothing like witnessing this song live as Robert Porter poured his entire body and soul into it. RIP Mr. Porter. We'll take it from here.

Dock of the Bus Stop

Towers Open Fire

This is a live version we recorded ourselves. A version made it onto our first release. This is the entire unedited version.

Live From the Chesterfield

Smokestack Lightning (LIve)

This song was originally released on the Welfare Dub Cassette. It is the title track of the remastered EP on iTunes and Amazon under the band name Thin White Line. With the opening lines, "Love and emotion begone. History repeats itself if we wait to long..." it's as pertinent now as it was 20 years ago. Another great Robert Porter song.

The Welfare Dub

Superman and That Girl

This song appeared on our 7 inch we released with Smog Veil Records. It was re-released on a full length CD a few years later. This song is from the dark years when many of us were living on the edge of the law, and sometimes finding ourselves in a bit over our heads. It's less a celebration, and more a cautionary tale.

Live With Toby

Put my Feet Back on the Ground

This was one of the first songs completely written by the version of the band I was in. I don't remember where it was recorded, Definitely done in a real studio. There is no complete version available on any CD or record. Just this from a cassette.

We're Not Animals

This is a newer version of the song recorded at a professional studio and promptly lost. I found it recently and feel it is a better mix than the original.
