Razor will release their first new record in 25 years Cycle Of Contempt on September 23 and you can check out the pissed-off single "A Bitter Pill" below. And when I say pissed off, I mean it – Razor clearly has a bone to pick with lyrics about someone getting older and their kids hating them, and not wanting to know someone at all anymore.
"I tried to write songs that everybody could listen to and say, 'Yeah, I know a guy who's done that to me or done this, or I know that situation. I can relate to that,'" band founder Dave Carlo says. "And I didn't want to make everything specifically about me because when you do that, you exclude people. I wanted to include everyone that's ever felt pissed off about anything."
Razor is currently founding guitarist Dave Carlo and bassist Mike Campagnolo alongside vocalist Bob Reid, who performed on the band's final three records, and drummer Rider Johnson who joined in 2014. Pre-orders for Cycle Of Contempt are available here.
