Don't Ever Speak. That's exactly what we are taught to do. Never question. Never think. Never challenge. We line up and carry out our same routines day after day without looking ahead to the unavoidable and undeniable consequences. Day in and day out we drag the stones that build our cultural empire then, retreat from our cubicles to our suburban prison cells to pacify ourselves in the fantasy lands of glowing screens. And this cycle will continue.....until we walk away.
The debut EP from Don't Ever Speak, The Eventual Path, comes across as a soundtrack for the end of times; a cinematic journey down a road on which we are already traveling. A blatant response to an irresponsible system, The Eventual Path carries with it a message of information, inspiration and realization. An almost militant display of musical angst, Don't Ever Speak brings forth mesmerizing electronic beats, ethereal synths and forceful guitars. From faint whispers to screams of rage, flowing harmonies to riotous chants, the message will find its way to your ears in the most appropriate way.
Be advised.....this music is not for the complacent.
Be ready.....coming 2008.

The ship was sinking---and sinking fast. The captain told the passengers and crew, "We've got to get the lifeboats in the water right away."
But the crew said, "First we have to end capitalist oppression of the working class. Then we'll take care of the lifeboats."
Then the women said, "First we want equal pay for equal work. The lifeboats can wait."
The racial minorities said, "First we need to end racial discrimination. Then seating in the lifeboats will be allotted fairly."
The captain said, "These are all important issues, but they won't matter a damn if we don't survive. We've got to lower the lifeboats right away!"
But the religionists said, "First we need to bring prayer back into the classroom. This is more important than lifeboats."
Then the pro-life contingent said, "First we must outlaw abortion. Fetuses have just as much right to be in those lifeboats as anyone else."
The right-to-choose contingent said, "First acknowledge our right to abortion, then we'll help with the lifeboats."
The socialists said, "First we must redistribute the wealth. Once that's done everyone will work equally hard at lowering the lifeboats."
The animal-rights activists said, "First we must end the use of animals in medical experiments. We can't let this be subordinated to lowering the lifeboats."
Finally the ship sank, and because none of the lifeboats had been lowered, everyone drowned.
The last thought of more than one of them was, "I never dreamed that solving humanity's problems would take so long---or that the ship would sink so SUDDENLY."
-Daniel Quinn
"Like computer viruses, successful mind viruses will tend to be hard for their victims to detect. If you are the victim of one, the chances are that you won't know it, and may even vigorously deny it."
