Didn't expect a revolution, but I expected more than this.
I wanted to use my voice, but instead I'll use my fists.
It's darkest before the dawn, but not half as dark as inside
can't start a revolution outside, until you start a revolution inside
Enough talk, enough talk
The time has come today
Enough talk, enough talk
Don't let fantastic become mundane
Vengeance in my heart. And an insult on my lips
You thought you knew what to expect. You expected nothing like this.
Nice wont do, In a knife fight, don't forget to stand tall
The way you knock down, a wall, Its just hammer, chisel, fall.
Enough talk, enough talk
The time has come today
Enough talk, enough talk
Don't let fantastic become mundane

Conan Neutron & the Secret Friends - "Enough Talk" (Oakland/Kenosha/Los Angeles/Milwaukee)
Recorded at Sound of Sirens, Sun Valley, CA Nov 9th 2016. The *DAY* after 45’s election.
To say that was a surreal time to be creating is an understatement.
Lyrics were written after seeing Ericka Huggins from the Black Panthers speak with W. Kamau Bell.
I went to the practice space, wrote all the lyrics and one of a handful of guitar “solos” i’ve ever truly loved. -Conan

Unintimidated: Wisconsin Musicians Against Scott WalkerWisconsin
Punk and DIY bands coming together to protest Scott Walker, Donald Trump, and right-wing fascism and corruption in all its forms. All money raised is donated.
This record is fucking phenomenal. Period. From beginning to end, it's so lush in its attack. The build up to the final track will give you goosebumps, as well as make you tear up, raise your fist in the air, or all three at once. Don't pass this up. Jared Singleton
A bite-size serving of power pop from a rising Virginia band equipped with three different guitarists; riff snobs won't be disappointed. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 18, 2024
