The day starts every morning With the rising of the sun The week goes by so quickly Then there's another one The months come just like clockwork Winter, spring, summer, fall I want to turn the hands back It don't matter at all Please hurt me Please hurt me Please hurt me Please hurt me The night brings down the darkness Another day is done Don't want to feel the numbness Just want to go and run The years come just like clockwork They all just pile up And then before you know it You see it's all over Please hurt me Please hurt me Please hurt me Please hurt me

Slam the door shut Take the shortcut Run the clock out Write their names down Wear the late crown Walk the walk now Raise your hand up The wrong answer Get a D plus In detention You're in trouble You're the worst one Get it right, get it wrong, get it right Get it alright for you Watch the time, stop the watch, watch the time The time is right for you Get it right, get it wrong, get it right Get it alright for you Watch the time, stop the watch, watch the time The time is right for you Take the shortcut Slam the door shut Run the clock out In detention You're in trouble You're the worst one Get it right, get it wrong, get it right Get it alright for you Watch the time, stop the watch, watch the time The time is right for you Get it right, get it wrong, get it right Get it alright for you Watch the time, stop the watch, watch the time The time is right for you Repeat chorus

about

"Darryl Shepard is a Boston rawk fixture, okay? From Milligram and Roadsaw to BLACKWOLFGOAT and Slapshot and now Test Meat who currently has a lot to offer over on bandcamp. With Michael Nashawaty backing him on drums, this power duo creates tunes that are inherently timeless.

Their latest 7″, Please Hurt, hones that description from their live performance I mentioned earlier with songs that bash you over the head with Nashawaty’s thumping and Shepard’s crunching geetars (Pronounced “gi-tars”) yet brim with familiarity…in a wholly original way.

The true measure of a band, though, is how well the songs hold up live. I remember purchasing Badmotorfinger because of the singles at the time but not really LOVING the record until seeing Soundgarden and hearing tracks from that one performed live (Hell, they opened with “Jesus Christ Pose”. It was spiritual.) Coincidentally, “Cuffing Season” off the Demo/EP definitely shares some DNA with “Flower”.

But I digress.

Having only heard a smattering of Test Meat before, I was anxious to get home and hear the recorded works so I could appreciate it over and over again after seeing them live. And luckily, Test Meat is a band that captures that raw sound in the studio as well so when you hear them shred on songs like “Class” or “Please Hurt” know that you’re gonna get that intensity live as well.

In other words, you should check out what Test Meat has to offer." - rockandrollfables.com

"Oh this is just one of the best ones out there right now. Test Meat delivers the alternative rock with a touch of noise and that great 90's groove right in your face." - intothevoidradio.blogspot.com
