War Beyond Classwar. Beyond classwar there is a struggle and I am my own enemy there's no enemy but me Molotov cocktails and barricades I ignite the flame ignite the flame the flame to kill myself Chorus: Inside my head you see me again fighting insecurities it's a war against myself Alone in this battleground is anybody there? there's a war under my skin There will be quiet after the storm I need to find my inner peace but I feel so alone There comes the time in ever man's life when this battle has to be fought and there's no escape from this Chorus. Chorus again. ____ "De nada sirve la guerra de clases o la lucha social si éstas no están acompañadas de una lucha contra nosotrxs mismxs. Bajo nuestra piel existe un frente abierto, un auténtico campo de batalla donde luchamos solxs contra nuestros miedos, inseguridades, complejos,...No habrá victoria política o social, sin emancipación psicológica" "Beyond classwar, we all are fighting an inner war against our insecurities and fears. This is one of the hardest war we can fight in. A battleground where we all struggle completely alone. There won't be social or political victory without a total psychological emancipation"

Green Eyes 02:38
Green Eyes She was only a girl abandoned in this world there's no one on her side no shoulder to cry on in school no girl wanted to be her friend she hated everything around her she was alone will it ever end? Mary is a teenage now next week she'll turn sixteen she punched her teacher the court said "you're guilty" guilty of being poor, maltreated and alone at the reform school she cries every night she promises herself: Chorus: "It has to end I'll find my way and if no one cares I will rise up and start to love myself I'll find my way beyond these walls I'll take my life back I swear I will prevail" Chorus again. ____ "Resilience is the only way out for many kids and teenagers who are living in residential care homes or penitentiary institutions for minors. This song has been inspired by some real stories of teenagers who faced situations of extreme adversity and could manage to change them into oportunities for personal growth and self-improvement" "La resiliencia es la única salida para aquellxs niñxs y adolescentes que se encuentran en centros de protección de menores o de reforma juvenil. Esta canción esta inspirada en historias reales de superación y crecimiento personal ante verdaderas situaciones de extrema adversidad, y dedicada a todxs lxs chavales y chavalas que luchan por encontrar su camino desde estas instituciones"

Never Quit. It's another day you have to face nightmares and memories didn't let you sleep last night The sun above you doesn't shine like years before and there's a voice inside your head saying everything is done saying everything is done It's another day you have to face nightmares and memories didn't let you sleep last night Nothing is like before Chorus: Never quit Don't give up don't let sadness rule your heart a fighter never quits like fighter who lost his strength you can rest now, but never quit my friend death can't stop your love Chorus again. "Inspired by and dedicated to Mari Luz Cortes's son" "Inspirada en y dedicada al hijo de Mari Luz Cortés"

D.B. 01:43
D.B. D.B. was a southern worker a rebel with a cause he was a heroe he fought the law He acted on what he preached Chorus: Your example has been laid For those who fight authority It seems that History forgot about you Wherever you are now we made this song for you Not only a member in the union knowledge was your passion You taught the worker's children to read to write and to be free Your thoughts and words couldn't be stopped not in that jail or when those fascists killed you in 36 D.B. Was not only a worker he fought authority He dreamed of a world with no oppression He acted on what he preached Chorus again. ___ "D.B. is a contraction for 'Diego Rodríguez de Barbosa', an anarchist worker from Chiclana de la Frontera (Andalusia – South Spain). As many of the Andalusian anarchists in the early years of the past century he was also a vegetarian and a naturalist,a trade unionist from the CNT, a writer, a teacher for the workers sons and daughters, a free thinker,... The fascist troops killed him in the beginning of the Spanish Civil war. They killed a man, but his life keeps being an inspiration for those who believe in a better world" "D.B. son las siglas de 'Diego Rodríguez de Barbosa', una anarquista de Chiclana de la Frontera (Andalucía). Como muchos de los anarquistas que había en Andalucía en el primer tercio del siglo pasado, fue también vegetariano, naturalista, sindicalista de la CNT, escritor, profesor para los hijos e hijas de los obreros, un libre pensador. Los fascista mataron a Diego en 1936, no obstante, su ejemplo, como el de otrxs muchxs anarquistas de la época, sigue siendo una gran fuente de inspiración para aquellxs que sueñan con un mundo mejor"

Remedies For Pain. When I was younger I realised there's something wrong in this society I hated everything around me I never fitted in any fucking place Chorus: I'm not looking for acceptance I've got nothing to prove to this world I've got my music, I've got my friends They are my remedies for pain I'm not looking for acceptance never wanted to be a part of you I've got my music, I've got my friends They are my remedies for pain I'm still the same kid I was before dreaming of a better world I'm still screaming for a change I still follow a different drum I found my way to survive Refusing your lies I don't need to win the gold Yes I know which are my goals And I can feel the same feelings that I had yesterday about hating your world And I won't waste a second more in empty minds like yours I rather be alone! Chorus again. "Be yourself. Find your way. Destoy traditions. Listen to Uniform Choice" "Sé tú mismx. Encuentra tu camino. Destruye las tradiciones. Ecucha a Uniform Choice"

Orange & Violet The sun is falling down and the wind stopping in a hidden secret spot as if they were sent by gods last lines are coming through an ocean turned oil Chorus: I wish I could live forever days like these so close to liberty I'm feeling so complete there's nothing else I need All my sadness fades away I'm feeling so complete those colors in the sky here comes the sunset while I wait for one more wave Like it was a medicine but it taste like heaven the salt is healing all my wounds Chorus again. Orange and violet (x4) ___ "This is another song about bodyboarding in the 'Coast Of Light' (Cádiz). This one specifically talks about last waves of an epic winter day in a secret spot" "Ésta es otra canción sobre bodyboard en la costa de Cádiz. Ésta, en concreto, habla de las últimas olas de un día épico en un secret spot"

No Gender 03:30
No Gender. Give me back my other wing I need it to fly I need to fly beyond beyond those limits now Give me back what is mine! It is so cruel, it isn't fair it is not a mistake it is a fucking plan I'm sure they won't admit Condemned since my birth we're conditioned, we're classified they killed half of myself! Chorus: Give me back my other wing I need it to fly I need to fly beyond beyond those limits now Give me back what is mine! We will never reach the sky We will never see the light We need to get out and fly get out from these cages now and take back my other half! Kill the gender! Before we are born they label us and make us all believe there are things we can't do according to our sex we should realise equality is no longer enough we can't be free at all while gender guides our thoughts! Chorus again. No gender. ____ "El género es un constructo sociocultural que nos limita y oprime como seres humanos. El sexismo no sólo está representado por aquellxs que defienden la sociedad patriarcal, sino también por aquellas personas que se esfuerzan por que lxs humanxs nos comportemos de un modo u otro según lo que tengamos entre nuestras piernas. La igualdad real es el fin de los géneros" "Gender is a sociocultural construct that oppresses and limits us. Sexism is not only supported by those who defend the patriarchy, it is also supported by people who still believe that humans have to behave according to what they have between their legs. Real equality is the end of the genders"

Bonds 03:00
Bonds. When I look at you Your eyes tell me we are made of the same thing An abandoned ship in shallow water trying not to sink We wanna live we wanna laugh as if tomorrow will never come and if this harsh realm knocks the door this sound will keep us all afloat Exhausted or letdown we know defeats made us who we are We'll never be winners or champs We are just losers full of hope Chorus. This is the sound that makes us feel alive and brings us together we are still stuck to the same vibe A bond that never dies! When I look at you Your eyes tell me we are made of the same thing An abandoned ship in shallow water trying not to sink Chorus again. ____ "Years are passing by and we are still in love with punk rock and hardcore. This is the sound that keeps us afloat when we are down and out" "Los años pasan y seguimos enamorados con el punk rock y el hardcore. Éste es el sonido que nos mantiene a flote cuando estamos verdaderamente jodidos"

Guilty 03:19
Guilty. It's not enough to say that I'm sorry it's not enough to admit we are the ones to blame I'm guilty of committing a murder It's not enough to cry for the mistakes that we made We are not gods We're not kings of this world we are running out of time we are losing touch and sight We can't stay in this waiting room forever now is the day we have to cross that line Questioning civilisation Can't you hear the call of nature now? Chorus: Let's liberate our planet Earth from the human sins we made this world doesn't belong to you and me when will we understand
 religion, science won't bring the truth mother culture isn't right we gotta leave those illusions behind yeah it's time to rearrange it's time to rearrange

It's not enough to say that I'm sorry it's not enough to admit we are the ones to blame We can't stay in this waiting room forever now's the day we have to cross that line Questioning civilisation Can't you hear the voice of nature now? Chorus again. ____ "Based on the novel 'Ishmael' by Daniel Quinn" "Basada en la novela 'Ishmael' de Daniel Quinn"
10.
Doubts 02:35
Doubts. Sometimes we need that help to go through all the pain 'cause this life can be so hard and we cannot fight alone It's easy to lose faith when everything turns grey I'm lucky I could find you in this ocean of doubts Chorus: I could hear you on those dark days in middle of self doubts you made me go through I've found the way thanks to your words “We Are One” those words healed my wounds they helped me to go on a path paved down before I know I won't be alone Chorus again. ___ "There are always helpful and positive ideas or words to connect with when you are going through bad situations or hard times. Like a message in a bottle, they are hidden in conversations, books, movies or lyrics in a song. It's up to you to open your senses to receive them" "En los momentos más difíciles siempre hay palabras o ideas con las que conectar y tomar energía para creer en uno mismo y seguir adelante. Como mensajes en una botella, éstas ideas o palabras se esconden en conversaciones, libros, diálogos en películas o en letras de algunas canciones. Solo tenemos que abrir bien nuestros ojos y oídos para poder percibirlas"

Switching Sides. Hey brother I can't stand this situation I'm unemployed and my children are starving So I'm here right now we can be stronger with your help our misery comes from their greed we must fight united it's not only a question of revenge or dignity we can't live through this it's time to stop this madness I see my neighbours tonight we agreed to take the streets and we won't wait a minute more we won't wait a minute Chorus: Switching sides the fear is switching sides The hour "h" will be tonight I see my comrades on my side our unity gives us strength and there's no leader among us not only a question of revenge or dignity we can't live through this it's time to stop this madness Chorus again. Tonight we won't be slaves no more! The fear is switching sides! ____ "In the winter of 1892 dozens of anarchists took the city of Jerez de la Frontera (Andalusia – South Spain) shouting hails to anarchy and death to bourgeoise, and trying to start a revolution to finish with the hunger, misery and desperation suffered by the workers. Although this insurrection was suddenly repressed, at least for one night, the fear switched sides. In memory of the 'martyrs from Jerez'" "En en invierno de 1892 deceneas de anarquistas tomaron la ciudad de Jerez de la Frontera (Andalucía) gritando vivas a la anarquía y muerte a la burguesía, tratando de comenzar una revolución que acabara con el hambre, la miseria y desesperación de los obreros y campesinos de la campiña jerezana. Aunque esta insurreción fue rápida y duramente reprimida, al menos por una noche, el miedo cambió de bando. En memoria de los 'mártires de Jerez'"

Memories 02:35
Memories. So many years passed away and we're still the same boys you knew still goofy maybe naive the road shaped our convictions We try to keep the flame alive keep trying and never hide behind these words I'm sure you'll find more than true love. Dedication leads the way towards the bonds of friendship And effort makes us all believe we can do any thing We try to keep the flame alive keep trying and never hide behind these words I'm sure you'll find more than true love. These memories are stuck in my mind we keep on trying and never hide. ____ "For more than ten years we all in MO1 played in Truth Through Fight. This song is about all what we shared during those years" "Por más de diez años todos en MO1 tocamos en Truth Through Fght. Esta canción es sobre todo aquello que compartimos en aquellos años"

about

You can download for free this record. Just go to our FB page. However, as you may know, we are a totally DIY band and we have had to pay a lot from our pockets to afford the cost of recording, mixing and mastering (with Stephen Egerton in USA), the artwork, merch, the two videoclips...and this time also de edition, as we founded our own "label" to release the vinyl. So we will be very pleased if you support buying the record digitally, or the vinyl or some merch.
