WHY YOU'RE A RETARD IF YOU DYE YOUR HAIR ABNORMAL COLORS IN 2026

"Why do they always look like this?" - Asmongold We used to dye our hair as Warped Tour era teens, in order to stand out. To individualize ourselves. They co-opted hair-dye in order to signal adherence to the cult of Marxism. We are absolutely not the same. Highlighted Comments: " “I’m childless” Thank you for your service." " It's like someone gassed the whole city with the joker toxin.." " "I have nothing to lose so let me destroy the future for everyone else's children."" " “We are going to fight back” says a person who has panic attacks answering their front door." " I feel like nose rings are the new straight jackets."

Review: "All songs should start with a bottle of jack" sings Ryan Wilcox (or should we say Dr Velvet?) on the opening track for Old Habits. "No Complaints" opens with the proper ingredients for a band called Dr Velvet And The Social Drinkers. It's true that many great songs have been written during times of pain and struggle in an artist's life. However, in Dr Velvet's case, "the problem is..."

"...nothing's wrong." The opening track is an ironic tune about a songwriter who is troubled by a lack of troubles.

The album's title track "Old Habits" is a song about growing up and how the more things change the more they stay the same while the fourth and final track is a happy break-up song called "Thankful That You're Gone." Featuring guest vocalist Rachel Mintz to provide the female perspective.

Our Score: 7.5/10 - A short but sweet EP of gritty punk and rock n' roll. This is the type of music that we probably would have heard in old west saloons if the old west had studded belts and tube-amps.
