about

"This song is an ode to the inherent ineffectiveness and gullibility of the modern social justice warriors. Facebook and Twitter provide a disconnection between the user and the consequence, and the mob does not do its research. They do not realize how dangerous they are. There is this knee jerk reaction that people have with social media and click-bait articles that is easily capitalized and manipulated by modern media sources. The underlying collective consciousness has been hijacked and its mechanism of disseminating information has been sold to the highest bidder. Warrior touches on the overall theme of the record "Modern Nostalgia", which is that people feel powerless in the face of an onslaught of tragedy, that we hear about every single day and cannot unplug from. Consequently, they broadcast their opinions through these platforms to feel as though they are doing something to fight against it."

- Bruce Allen Smith Jr.

lyrics

Warrior-
"Read between the lines they draw for you
Underlying currents pull you any way they want to
You hate the role you have to play
And the things you have to say
But you carry on the burden you've picked up

You're not the warrior you try to be
But you play the part
You're not cut out to be this dangerous
You're not the warrior you want to be
Don't know what you are
You can't resolve a way to get out"

about

Midcentury Austin, Texas

Combining the earnest tonality of indie and classic rock with the hard hitting, uplifiting rhythms of funk and hip hop; MIDCENTURY has a sound that is as fresh as it is familiar. Midway between old and new, the music is a unique pastiche of influence that is both nostalgic and post-modern.

The band makes it's home in Austin, Tx.
