    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

Phoenix
They rise up for you to beat them down again and again
When will it end
They rebuild their homes just for you to bulldoze them
Terrorize their lives until they have to abandon
Everything they have
Abandon the only home they’ve ever known
You enforce your will with brutality
Makes me sick to see all the pain you bring
Burn their homes and take their land
Push them out and for you to conquer it
Send your thugs to kill men women and kids
Cut off aid and send air strikes in
You cause pain
You create misery
Suffocating conditions
This is a tactic
This is a plan
These are all choices
And you’re still making them
If you hear the cries of mourning
How can you not want to do something
I’ve never looked at the world the same
After listing to a fathers pain
Dragging his daughters bodies out from their bombed out house
It came with out warning
It came without provocation
If oppression doesn’t make you sick
Then you’re no friend of mine
Fuel and friction become flames
From the ashes a phoenix will rise
The youth are strong
They will rebuild the land
Where they belong
From the ashes a phoenix will rise
