Red Tones 01:49
You exist as a figment of my past Merely a memory Nothing can make you last No current relevance or enduring permanence No significance to me Your endless worthlessness Keep your feelings to yourself You can’t cry out for help Rot down in the ground and reflect on what you’ve dealt Misplaced all inside my head Things around me turn to red tones Ejecting from inside my skin Where I’ve always felt unwelcome My new place that I live in is now guarded by a tombstone My eyes are heavy my back is broken As I reach the end of this path I’ve chosen My mind is a warzone for anyone who’s wronged me I can’t think straight when you’re the one who’s talking I am a tool to detect seek and destroy you Everything that I do is in attempt to haunt you I’ll never lose sight of what really mattered My lungs have dried up my bones have shattered Make you see what you really want When you make yourself into something that you’re not

Face down on the ground Bloody knuckles, head pound Brain sprawled out on the floor Throw it out, beg for more What are you afraid of? What are you ashamed of? You look down on me although I am the one you’re scared of “Stupid jerk Crazy bitch,” Keep it coming! Throwing hits Stare me down in both eyes Is it me who you despise? Who are you afraid of? Who are you ashamed of? Point the finger, pin things on people who have done no wrong Talk about me For eternity Talk about me Talk about me

Not For You 01:22
The way I move I can't stay still The way I'm treated, it makes me ill That fucking crooked smile The way you show your teeth The fleeting feeling of knowing what’s waiting there for me Our planet’s turned to rubble Our homes into ash Get up and tell them it’s not theirs to take back The future is ours something you cannot have The times are changing this is not for you You had your chance now there’s nothing you can do Wake up every day Withering from pain Just to go to sleep and have to do it all again Worked till the bone can be seen through my fingers Living every day results in a pain that lingers Get up and tell them it’s not theirs to take back The future is ours something you cannot have The times are changing this is not for you You had your chance now there’s nothing you can do “This world was not made for me” Is what you explained to me Pulled the rug from underneath Tried to inject your beliefs…

My Creator 01:20
The cycle; it never fucking ends I can’t truly say that I will ever feel again The cycle; it never fucking ends At this point I will put a fucking bullet in my head What is it this time? Rip out my spine Breathing to die Yet I still stand Defy all commands Assigned by your god Four years to the fucking number I’ve lived this life a thousand times It never gets number Shake hands with death Meet my fucking maker No matter how fast I go I never seem to shake her Rise from the ashes, death in the flame I am not me anymore, I’ll never be the same Rise from the ashes, death in the flame I am not me anymore, I’ll never be the same

about

A straight-edge hardcore band from the northeast USA is fairly common, however, in 2022, Anklebiter differs from their contemporaries in 2022 with a refreshing, yet familiar sound. Referencing early-mid '00s hardcore from their region—particularly the sound of Lockin' Out bands like Mental and Righteous Jams, mixed with the modern sounds from Result of Choice and Krimewatch, Anklebiter plays classic loud & fast hardcore.

On their first demo, producer Will Hirst captures Anklebiter's raw and furious energy on every track. While the sound is fast and upfront, the band knows when to pull back to make a balanced, dynamic, and exciting sound. Rachael Braverman's rhythmic, shouting vocals perfectly pair with the band's aggressive, driving sound performed by members Nick Birtles (Pummel), Evan Stein (Broken Vow), and Logan St. Germain.
