hitchhiked to hell and back, riding the wind
waiting for a generation's bonfire to begin
when the plunder of the poets, thunder of a punk's guitar
beat life to my body sulking drunk at the back of a bar
whoring my heart, on the wings of a western night
busting my guts, on a riot dose of paradise
when a red-blooded daughter, slowed my gunfire run to rest
with her blitzkrieg love and a roman candle kiss
there is no high like this
adrenaline nightshift
hurricane home to crusade alone, wounded and thin
still waiting for a generation's bonfire to begin
when i muscle up some money, i'll rattle the sabre of the streets
cause death has no respect for love, and youth no respect for me

As far as indie albums in the 2010's and beyond go, this is one of the most cohesive and emotive albums I've experienced looking back on it and is Jay Som's best album tokyonoir

I’ve known of STRFKR since around the time this album was originally released (2012 or 2013, most likely). That said, it’s taken me until now (February 10, 2023) to listen to STRFKR. And allow me to say this is something I somewhat regret. This album reminds me a lot of MGMT’s “Oracular Spectacular” but less polished. There’s an earnestness to these songs that is undeniable, and it’s a helluva lot of fun. If electro rock is your cup of tea, bring an empty cup; STRFKR’s gonna make sure it’s full. Kirk Gauthier
