about

The first single from our upcoming 4th album, ThunderHole Rock n' Roll.

Our Museum of Failure is a driving rock anthem, a hymn to lost little boys, trying to navigate what it means to be a man in an age where we are trying to dismantle the patriarchy. It asks why we obsess over heroes from the past that don't represent the men we want in our future. In this new frontier of gender fluidity, how do boys define what kind of men they want to grow up to be? A stadium rock anthem with pounding drums, groovy guitar lines, a driving electric ukulele riff, fierce and anguished vocals, it will make you hit repeat.

lyrics

Hold hands you lovebirds

Go… away from me
Go...away from me
And they…will be so happy

Go be a man whatever that means
Open some jars
Carry heavy things
It can't fill up that void inside
That sense of purpose
That special pride
Don't you know that you'll always be
Just another wandering being

Because you're no Beowulf
And you're no Oedipus
But who, who needs
Heroes like this

I wish someone'd told Odysseus
That his dreams were ridiculous
Without the hand of a god
He could have been a farmer in Ithaca
Maybe men wouldn't break their backs
Starting wars, having heart attacks

Because you're no Beowulf
And you're no Oedipus
But who, who needs
Heroes like this

Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba

Because you're no Beowulf
And you're no Oedipus
But who, who needs
Heroes like this

Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba

Love birds
