Teen Mortgage Post New Single “Such is Life”

Washington D.C. heavy punk two-piece offer 98 seconds of hard-driven shove with the new single Such is Life. It’s according to the band it’s about living in the reality of capitalism embedded as a perceived natural state — oh, you’re getting fucked over and stomped on and you worry if you take a break you’ll lose your job? Well, such is life. That kind of thing.

Yeah that’s fair enough. Shit’s fucked, which I’m sure is news these two dudes, one of whom works as a nurse during a pandemic and both of whom live in the same town as the recently stormed Capitol. D.C.’s long been established as a punk town, so that’s a lineage that I probably don’t need to tell you about, but sometimes you need a blasted bit of fuck-you. As a human being who’s already spent three hours today trying to get a toddler to say what shape stop signs are — octagon; a word he knows perfectly well; a word he learned before he learned square because that’s who he is — I’m more than happy to have Teen Mortgage come along and kick away the existential dust gathered on my state of being. Thanks y’all.

The duo issued their Life / Death EP in March 2019 through King Pizza Records (see also Ghost Funk Orchestra, The Mad Doctors, Sun Voyager, etc.) and the new song arrives with the same backing. Nice to have friends. Friends who might even tell you what shape a stop sign is, or, you know, how to take yourself off the grid or make universal healthcare a reality or whatever. No gods, no masters, no rent.

Teen Mortgage – Such is Life

Teen Mortgage is back with thrashing new single ‘Such is Life’, a fuzzed-out banger detailing hypocrisy and loathing inherent in certain mindsets. Couching socio-political disgust in holy rage, not to mention thundering drums, it should be no surprise these boys hail from DC and are happy carrying the history of its DIY ethos with them into 2021 and beyond.
