"most freedom is deceiving, if such a thing exists, when I was young I knew but didn't care." thats a hell of a line

[@8MoonsOfJupiter]

My favourite song ever to play air-guitar to; I can make it about 10 seconds in before I'm done...

[@joehartlaub3114]

I'm almost 70 and loved these guys from the first chord. I introduced my younger daughter to their music and now I'm doing the same with my granddaughter. I hope they record a new album before I die of old age or something but it that happens at least I heard this. Great music that never wears out.

[@gabrielherbas402]

I will be you in 40 years, I hope. Greetings

[@ashleypalafox5368]

New album next month :) And I love that you're getting your daughter and granddaughter into them.

[@frflinstone]

I'm 7 years behind but have good stamina !!

[@JamesJones-rg3dn]

Lol,yeah us old 60s and 70s punkers will never die , this band reminds me alot of early Buzzcocks and UK Subs and many more bands of that era , keep opening up the youngsters minds to great music sir. Punk still lives.

One creature I return to, one habit I neglect I cannot slow the pace at which I yearn Frank and unabashed I become a frozen servant Smiling asking nothing in return Fang-tooth woman foaming at the mouth as she addressed me Not with moving lips, but with the rabid wild arresting Words not yet intended to identify emotion Scrawling bold and oblique in my head I’ve hung out at your service jobs I’ve watched you, waited and be ignored Bled into the clatter, as they sipped at what you poured I cling to your perimeter as you float in their margins Oblivious to being stung, there satellite becomes my son I’ve flown into that trap before When things have gotten dark In the depths of strangers glances lies the most ferocious spark Most freedom is deceiving If such a thing exists When I was young I knew but didn’t care Faces change and shape to represent the same old beast I want to flee but I can only stare It’s the sound a captive heart makes as it sizzles into vapor The title hum of fondness like a spike-wave oscillator The rabid UV grin that beckons me into approaching Grasping as it recedes into space Who greets me first when I arise Who breaking into my half shut eyes It’s in the blaze of your embrace where I feel more real and alive The bosom of 1000 watts into my skin into my guts Running circles so proud until he got caught In his brief emancipation he can feel what I cannot There’s a patch of light that hits the floor I’ll often occupy Stretch my arms and legs and close my eyes I now can hear my pulse alone, this manic pace I cannot slow I do not miss the child you stole Frying and abiding, I’m in your control Like a sunbathing animal A sunbathing animal A sunbathing animal A sunbathing animal A sunbathing animal A sunbathing animal A sunbathing animal A sun

[@MR-vl4pw]

Finally, music to make me feel again!!!!

[@ALSFLAVOUR]

Moshing to this song is incredible, so much energy and pace it electrifying from your genitals to your brain.

[@petervega2073]

They may only play one chord..but they play the fuck out of that chord.

[@digitalwitness2706]

peter vega - Yes they do. Yes..they.. do... That’s basically my favorite chord now. Shit is raw

[@faulsname8869]

Its E and B….so two chords…….

[@dinosaurhotline]

@@faulsname8869 three chords, actually. F# too

[@faulsname8869]

@@dinosaurhotline true you’re right

[@felixd.4150]

@@dinosaurhotline If you play it with all down strokes it goes from being the easiest songs to play to one of the toughest. All downstrokes, all 6 strings.

[@ntntntntntnt]

Wow never even noticed the Shostakovich piano concerto no. 2 vinyl before now!

[@EzeICE]

and the Leonard Bernstein too!!!!!

[@alanmeals]

Fucking hell this is good. Can't wait for the new album..

[@aaronb1472]

A 4 min punk song! They must be knackered after playing this .

[@aaronb1472]

I'm actually 37, and in my day 2 minutes was then norm. But hey, that's evolution baby. Though I shall be checking out Fifteen when I get home. Any track in particular I should look out for?

[@wackyaction]

***** is a douche bag.

[@wolfcove6752]

ya i think it's too long.

[@bannanafruitsalad]

***** I think he's referring to how fast they're playing. it's like a 4 minute sprint

[@BlacqueJacqueShellacque_]

The editing on this video is just stunning. It's amazing what you can with modern non-linear editing and special effects now-a-days. :P

[@MorbidBatwing]

This reminds me of the dead Kennedy’s lol! I like how it’s fast paced👌

[@christophermaxieii8727]

MY GOD. It's like The Feelies and The Descendents birthed a baby with an awful case of ADHD. FRIGGIN' AMAZZZZZZZING.

[@DeadWhiteButterflies]

Reminds me of The Replacements. Love it!

[@RosemaryMayRichings]

I thought punk was dead. Guess I'm wrong. Love this!

Saw this band on Letterman tonight. Sound effin great!

Why can't I find that video anywhere? Help me out brother please I gotta see it

[@820south3]

This song and video are fabulous!!!

[@BigH0b0]

magic stuff, cant remember the last time the U.S produced rock n roll as good as this....The Cramps ?

[@awisecar9540]

One of my favorite music videos

[@andydrummond3612]

SOOOOOOOOOOO GOOOOD!!!!!!!

[@faustoiv8533]

Hope all you guys and your cat come someday to Argentina!

[@livingtechn0]

y al final vinieron y tocaron esta cancion! que bello fué.

[@AdamJamesPhotography]

How does a NOISEY video with a cat, catnip and rock music only have 530 likes in its first four months? This video rules.

[@jmillion2896]

Not understanding the negative comments about this track... not that I think it's so good that it's beyond criticism, but if you don't like it, just move on... there's so much music at your fingertips these days, it really makes no sense to trash a band in a public forum... just get a life, let it go, fuck off, etc.

[@boland1]

This. Energy.

[@regularchickens]

Fucking great. Makes me wanna run around and jump around and scream.

[@peterepanseviltwin]

ive watched this loads and have only just noticed andrew in the mirror at the end

[@DillrodProductions]

Baldanders Rocks yeah, I feel like he's positioned to look like the reflection of the cat, considering the lyrics in the final verse and also how they both leave the frame at the end.

[@Nersonek]

This is fantastic.

Just fucking mint.

add lyrics to this video in description. It would steal some focus from the cat but I think it would be good anyway. good lyrics.

I love Parquet Courts but I find this song kind of boring. Still looking forward to hear the rest of the album though.

[@panchiillOackroO]

I love this song but i hate the cats.

[@sparkyrw6765]

Maybe they forgot to put in a second chord.....

[@xAngelsOfHellx]

The song uses B, Fb, and F#, simple but effective.

[@spyrosubwaydiet]

xAngelsOfHellx fucken love Fb

[@tommclaren4060]

xAngelsOfHellx Fb, also known as E

[@xAngelsOfHellx]

Correct, just said Fb 'cause I like to be accurate.

[@terocan9987]

why is everyone pretending this is the coolest shit. This is just plain boring.

[@danmeme7740]

Been there done that copycat stuff here. If thats what you people want rehashed stuff over and over then thats all you will ever get. Bands won't try as hard because they know all they have to do is copy some other bands to get attention.

[@Kamando123]

I love this song, but am I only one who hates this video?

[@kingpao1510]

They sound like Kings Of Leon. But I like KOL more. IMHO.
