Tar Nation is a dismally unsuccessful hardcore punk band consisting of four members (see band members) I’m Carolyn from Maryland and write the lyrics, and the guys collaborate on the music. Reverend Five lives in Seattle now so we don’t get much practice in, but we don’t get a lot of shows either, so what the hell! Besides, it’s punk rock so who cares how it sounds, as long as you can slam to it! That’s right I said Slam! I love to see an old school slam pit when I’m up there forgetting my lyrics! The songs I write are mostly angry rants about people I hate, the stupid asswipes who run the government, capitalist pigs, mental illness, and silly songs about drinkin’. Most of our songs are under two minutes long, but some are longer. None are sappy, or have catchy choruses with recurring lyrics, we have two demos. The first one is a couple of years old, and some of the songs are not as fast as we play them now, but it was our first time in a recording studio. The second one was recorded live at the Lab in Seattle, but I haven’t figured out how to put windows media audio files on myspace. (do’h!)
If you can help us book shows we’d really appreciate it! There’s a t-shirt in it for anyone who helps us get a show! Thanks for checking us out!
Namaste motherfuckers- Carolyn from Maryland
