    JADE DUST - Wild Geese LP
    Portland, Oregon's Jade Dust gives us eight more tracks of mid-to-late '80s DC-influenced melodic hardcore on their second 12" EP. Fans of Ignition, Rites of Spring, Swiz, and Rain will recognize the inspiration right away. This is a split release between Extinction Burst and Ebullition; the former is a newer SoCal label specializing in this sound, whereas the latter has a deep connection with some band members who are Santa Barbara County natives/long term residents of the area and were active in the surrounding scene. Jade Dust, whose name is derived from the Shudder To Think song "Jade Dust Eyes," is a modern take on emotional hardcore, but decidedly for the hardcore. (Ebullition Record #62.5/Extinction Burst Records #12-0829)

lyrics

Search for places
Untouched by man
Untainted
Unmarked
Search for places
Leave no traces
Leave it pure
Pristine
Like they were intended to be
Search for places
I want to swim
I want to jump
I want to drink water
So clean so clear you can see the bottom
Breath air so clean so clear
You can see everything
You can see past the horizon
I want night skies
Where you are blinded by the stars
Not city lights, smog, and pollution
We are guilty
We don’t deserve
Absolution
We don’t deserve absolution
We’ve made barren deserts
From taking more than we need
We live on unstable ground
We’re on unstable ground
When will it all run out
When will everything be owned
Every drop of fresh water bottled
The sea a dead sea
The land a wasteland
Displace the lives
Of the ones that call it home
The ones that hold it dear
For our conveniences
For all the little things
Little things that mean nothing
Little things that all get thrown away
Execution by extraction
Expression of perceived excellence
What’s left for them to tame
Why are we forced to play their game
Why must we play their game
We are still playing this game
