Courage/Transparent With Red Splatter Vinyl

Description

First re-release of "Courage" by Help! Released by Overdrive Records.Help!'s "Courage" EP is centered on heartbreak and pain. Progress is seen as a succession of new hells. The band hopes it's better to love than be right, all while experiencing the apparent absence of love and coherence in American culture. In summary, the story of this album is one of Ryan and Bim, whose lives were exploding and collapsing. Yes, it's a breakup album. Their vulnerability, expressed in these songs, became essential to their survival. Though deeply personal, these songs invite everyone to feel and suffer freely. After all, it may be one of the last freedoms we can enjoy in this crumbling world. Courage. In the face of despair, in the face of those who pretend everything is fine, in the face of the end of what was supposed to last forever. Courage. For the band, "Courage" is a step towards a richer sound and an experience of honesty over safety. Their goal in everything they do: eliminate fear from decision-making, act with rebellious joy, refuse to dominate others. Do not hoard the gifts of the universe. Remember: the future is uncertain. The ends do not justify the means. Solidarity now. If the goal is growth, success is an end. War and love are forms of death. This record illustrates the destructive nature of growth: on the planet, on the human spirit, on our ability to persevere.
