Joe Billy - Let 'Em Fall


New Jersey folk punk musician, Joe Billy, just put out Let 'Em Fall last month, and can be found on tour right now.

"Sorry, Mom" starts the album off with some fast and angry guitar, and some shouting about making the world a better place.

"Denounce Columbus" is about how Columbus commit atrocities against the Natives, like bringing plague, but we celebrate him and shouldn't.

"Age Is A Social Construct (built on faulty roots)" starts off by questioning why you've gotta wait until 21 to by beer, when 12 year olds are often more mature than 40 year olds.

"The Fly You Ignore" - as far as I can tell - is about people that ignore the homeless in the street.

"I Pray For Armageddon" is about how we're heading towards our apocalypse.

"Half Assed Apology" is a non-aplolgetic apology, and it's kinda catchy.

"The War On War" is a call for peace. Great lyrical work on this one, and the harmonica is nice.

"Self Hate Masculinity" is about how blaming natural instinct on being a man is lazy.

"Rainbow of Trash" is about how, "we're all just a rainbow of trash." 'nuff said.

"Smash Your Television" is about reasons to smash your tv, and alternatives you could be doing, instead of sitting in front of a mind control device.

Offering plenty of things to think about, Let 'Em Fall is definitely worth giving a listen!
