This is unfiltered protest music across five tracks. We tear through social media's culture of outrage, the invisible suffering of the unhoused, the rot of late-stage capitalism, Christian nationalism, and the daiy struggle of living with anxiety. None of it is subtle. All of it is intentional.
Fit for Fire is a searing commentary on how algorithmic echo chambers and cult-like patriotism have hollowed out American ideals. The flag s only fit for fire.
Shades of Grey is the EP's most personal political statement: a character study of a homeless person whose daily struggle is both devastatingly visible and willfully ignored.
Fucking Choke is the record at its most aggressive, an unambiguous takedown of the wealthy and the system that protects them.
Pass the Wine and Hail Satan, the title track, goes after it all at once: US foreign policy, ICE, the occupation of Palestine, and the weaponization of religion in politics.
Under My Skin closes the EP on something closer to hope—a brutally honest reckoning with anxiety. It's the most vulnerable track on the record, and maybe the most important.
