This is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever read… That’s all I’m gonna say. There would be way too much if I went into details about how awful everything about this article is.
Good news: Craig Owens has officially rejoined Chiodos as their vocalist! Check out a video announcement from the band here, on their official website.
Bad news: Matt Good, Aaron Stern and Nick Martin have all announced that they will be leaving D.R.U.G.S, basically meaning that the band will be no more, although nothing has been confirmed. Check out a statement from the three former members here, on UnderTheGunReview.
This is all wrong. Switch this around and it’ll be accurate. Craig Owens rejoining Chiodos? That sucks. This is bad news. I was pretty excited the other day when I heard they were breaking up and now this shit happens? Fuck! They should just break the fuck up and quit beating this dead, shitty horse. Also, unpopular opinion: I thought the new dude was way better. Craig Owens has a horrible voice and kids act like he’s the second coming of Jesus fucking Christ.
D.R.U.G.S. (worst band name ever, by the way) is breaking up? FUCKING SWEET! Maybe God is real after all. I know nothing is confirmed and I may be setting myself up to be super bummed if they get new assholes to replace the old assholes but the thought of that band being gone forever makes me very happy.
I know a lot of you like these bands. Sorry. This is obviously just my opinion. I know it’s an unpopular opinion. It’s 5 am and I just felt the need to rant about something. Maybe I should go to bed.

“I’ll Get By” from “The Lack Long After”
I used to listen to my life,
I was so put together,
I chose what I wanted to be in that age of chasing sand,
the age of believing in everything,
but I couldn’t save you,
I couldn’t save what was taken away,
and i’m still singing, and you still can’t stay.
You “loved life,” and those words have lasted,
I just wish I would have had ears for more than what you said
because i still feel the lack long after.
Such a light body, such a quiet gait leaving behind the weight of the world,
I’ll always think it was too early to lose your shine,
I guess the means that ends us means nothing,
I just hope it’s the peace we all need,
Because I could love and drown in your God damned smile lines,
but I think i burnt up watching you rallying to stay alive,
and I guess that’s fine.
It seems we all get sick,
we all die in some no name hospital with the same colored walls,
and I guess that’s fine,
but I want to swallow, I want to stomach, I want to live.
It’s been a rough while and some days are worse than others,
there’s no proper way to feel, no mirth, no levity, no amazing grace,
just a flame on a lake floating away,
I can’t let you lay,
I want you to know, I’m learning patience against my will,
I want you to know, I’ll get by, always barely scraping
with just a hunger, with just a heart apart,
it’s a hell of a thing.

Band - Defeater
Album - Lost Ground
Song - The Bite and Sting
I’ve spent days in this trench in the snow
Just my gun by my side.
It’s cold and wet and you’re all alone
Up keeping watch at night.
The bite and the sting
The bitter cold brings
Reminds you that you’re still alive
The hope and the pride
That we all hold inside
Seems to break when another boy dies
The bite and the sting
The bitter cold brings
Makes you wish that you weren’t still alive
The hope and the pride
We all hold inside
Seems to break
Seems to break.
We ain’t seen no germans for days
We’re just tired and sore
And it feels like I’m wasting away
So I drink from my flask to stay warm.
Every bomb miles away
Every faded engine cry
Still makes your heart start to race
Keeps you praying at night.
It’s too quiet and too calm
For something not to be wrong
So we sit as brothers in arms.
So we wait and we shake
Hear the roar of the tanks
And the gunfire of the oncoming storm.
The ring in our ears
And the cold rush of fear
Overtakes us with the enemy in sight.
I stagger, but don’t falter
I aim and pull the trigger
And we fight, we fight, we fight.
But it all happens too fast
The blur of the sweat in my eyes
For every man killed
Seems 2 of my friends fall to die
I’m down on my knees
Feel the pain in my gut
And the snow is covered in blood.
Crawl to my captains side
With his head on my knees
Says “see to it that my grave is kept clean”
Awake in a hospital bed
Just rows and rows and rows of dying kids.
And I know
That my whole
Infantry is dead.
