AmEx 04:18
I'm an American. I want you to feel my Excellence. This body feels alien. Pump me full of estrogen. I caught your hand in the honeypot. I caught your hand in the cookie jar. I want you to grab my pussy raw. I want you to fuck me raw. Let in the caravan! I'm on PrEP! American Exceptionalism.
2.
I have a body; no place to call my home. Come on, baby, live in these 4 walls. You’ll never suck the marrow from my bones.
3.
Pop 02:43
You’re like a ghost. You only love me when I’m swollen. You only love me when I’m swollen, baby. You only love me. You only love. You only love me when you’re swollen, baby. Piss on everything that I love. You piss on everything that I love. You piss on everything. & then you pop me open. Pop me open. Pop!
4.
Re-radicalize. Redirect. Weaponize. Self-defense. Don’t give a fuck about your politics. Just stay the fuck out of our pit. Just ‘cause you’re a faggot, don’t mean you ain’t a white nationalist. Here for Nazi blood, not your Limp Wrist. We’ll take your rage, weaponize it. Nothing radical about sucking dick.
5.
Denim 01:30
My lesbian jacket. Boys-size medium. My lesbian jacket is from middle school. My lesbian jacket still makes me feel cool. My lesbian jacket makes all the chicks drool. My lesbian jacket she’s from middle school. My lesbian jacket.

Hogtied 01:56
Don't tell me to get off your rocks; I wanna see identification. You wanna see my head split; I wanna be compensated Filthy white, don't piss in my troth; We wanna be liberated. Don't tell me to get off your rocks; Cruise, jack you off: we made this. Hogtie my naked body. Hogtie my naked body, baby. Carry me off the beach.

Red 03:53
a vision in violet / adorned with violets spread across your bed / gush a little death currents too violent / waveforms too violent I drown (swim) in your red / I drown in your red heartbeats downed out in silence / heartbeats drowned out silence throbbin', makin' you wet / throbbin', makin' me wet with a crown on your head / with your crown ‘round my neck made of torn ligaments / you take my breath Baby, we’ll lick each other's wounds; you'll leave me bruis’d... a vision in violet gush a little death waveforms too violent I drown in your red.

Let me piss in a I’ll be your cup Overflow I’m over blown I trade for a place to sleep You trade me for to eat Climb into your bed Comfort her Lay me on my back Drink me through my lights out Macerate my skull And I float Never give a fuck; always charge I’m safe as houses Fuck You, Pay Me

Whale Fall 07:01
Falling down, down, down. & I’m falling down, down, down. Falling down, down, down. & I’m falling down, down, down. & I’m falling down.

AKA DEMONS TO RATIONS
AKA DER MENSTRUATIONS

“Demonstrations” is the first full-band release from NY's Deadname. This record is a snapshot of everything we've put together since forming in 2016. Deadname initially started as a weekly jam session between two acquaintances that evolved into a two-person electropunk friendship and, after local gigs and a short US tour with just a guitar, mic, mixer, and backing tracks on an Android, we found a killer rhythm section and morphed into a motley four-piece. Though we all share a queer identity, our main unifying concept is that we like shit moshable, visceral, and, boundary-pushing. We want you to feel this, as we felt it.

[Begin image description. An acrylic painting on stretched canvas. An imperfect square of varying vibrant red hues against a white backdrop. From the center down, the square is chaotically textured, which deepens the hues. Contrasting black percolates over the bottom and bottom-right edge. In streams of black and red, the colors trickle down to the bottom. End image description.]⁣
