about
A song inspired by the beekeeping practice of requeening a hive. A song about inept and self-serving bees / people in power. We know who’s got the honey. The queen is dead, long live the queen!
Louder Than War say:
'Requeen The Hive regularly reiterates the capacities of a band continuously shooting fresh holes through those old, important, alternative shapes left behind by the likes of everyone from Brainiac to Buzzcocks, and blowing the smoke away from those almighty pistol barrels.'
lyrics
LYRICS
Pretty little town
Pretty little lights
Pretty little minds
Money in, money
Money in, money
Money in, money out
We know who's got the honey
Total lack of it
Total narcissist
Totally look at me
Money in, money
Money in, money
Money in, money out
I'm feeling terse laconic
two bricks and a megaphone
Too tired to get on it
Too tired to let go
I'm tired, too, too, tired
We know who's got the honey
Requeen the hive.

the week by Louder Than War and is out on Crackedankles Records in September 2023.
“It's music that smashes against the walls and floors and ceilings and changes shape upon each ecstatic, erratic, elastic bounce" (Louder Than War)...more
Visceral and brut-iful soundscapes arranged as amazing songs, with wonderfully opaque lyrics - no pronouns! A band that manages to create records that are as intriguing and powerful as they are live. TV FACE
Terrific, marauding post-punk that will thrill fans of Idles with its pairing of cutting riffs and wry spoken/sung lyrics. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 26, 2022
The first new album in 30 years from these noise rock pioneers, featuring the iconic Thalia Zedek, positively rips. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 12, 2019
The soaring arcs of post-rock, the punchy rhythms of post-hardcore, and the jagged lines of post-punk all join on the latest from Aversions. Bandcamp New & Notable May 2, 2023
