Scaring Sparrows

About Me

The members of Scaring Sparrows have been in many of Reno's hardcore, punk and metal bands over the years. It doesn't matter which ones. What matters is we have joined forces to create fast, angry, hardcore with a message. We are a straight edge hardcore band. Dreams don't come to those who wait. Life is what you make it. Never stop being angry.
"Not a single star will be left in the night. The night will not be left. I will die and, with me, the weight of the intolerable universe. I shall erase the pyramids, the medallions, the continents and faces. I shall erase the accumulated past. I shall make dust of history, dust of dust. Now I am looking on the final sunset. I am hearing the last bird. I bequeath nothingness to no one." ---Jorge Luis Borges---
"I call Christianity the one great curse, the one great intrinsic depravity, the one great instinct of revenge, for which no means are venomous enough, or secret, subterranean and small enough - I call it the one immortal blemish upon the human race." ---Friedrich Nietzsche---
"Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, & the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people." ---Karl Marx---
"The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one. The happiness of credulity is a cheap and dangerous quality. ---George Bernard Shaw---
"I sat on my bed said to god...you haven't got me yet. I know your cunning. It's you who take us up to a high place and offer us the whole universe. You're a devil, god, tempting us to leap. But I don't want your peace and I don't want your love...With your great schemes you ruin our happiness as a harvester ruins a mouse's nest. I hate you, god, I hate you as though you existed" ---Graham Greene---
