Eat My Twin 03:51
I’m in my head I’ve split myself in two From the womb eat my twin suck on fetal tissue You’re on the inside and I don’t wanna fight anymore Side-by-side live half a life always keeping score I saw something I wasn’t supposed to see Blacked out windows brown eyes staring back at me I’ve got Stockholm Syndrome with my mind We stay up all night Top-secret undercovers not my story to tell Cross eyed parasitic stumbling off the record This blood is sick Devil’s walkingstick Playing for keeps forever in our hearts Skeleton sisters in the closet til death do us part Behind closed doors until our last gasp cease Rest in peace I wanna rest in peace Toxic daggers littered everywhere Pirouette in limbo smiling in denial’s cross hairs There’s no dreaming in Hades only nightmares It’s funny how things don’t work out

Locked up this body’s a prison Infected cells I’m not a person Fake glimmer and make believe on life number two Seven left when will I get a better view? Born haunted, unholy and glistening Sage purifies I whisper let’s burn down everything Strike first with one little spark Spread like fire explosive I’ll leave my mark I’m on empty out to lunch I’ll take it lying down It’s too late didn’t land on my feet and I’m losing count It’s all my fault don’t bury the lead Countdown loose wires a time bomb ticking inside of me As luck would have it, I’m all glitter and spit Nine times to die, I’m all glitter and spit Bomb threat, covered in glitter and spit Dust to dust, she’s made of glitter and spit Cut and run, crawl out of my skin holiday escape One way ticket on the astral plane to an altered state No where to run inside job hostage situation Sparkle explode my own creation

Poison Darts 02:24
Circle the drain and watch me sink I’ll spill my guts tell me what you think Spin fast enough keep it together Defect heart bad lungs stomach ulcer Circle the drain and watch me sink No love song I’m your weakest link Clap your hands watch me fall apart Clap your hands a tragic art Burn my skin reborn again Front row seat to my fucking funeral pyre I will let you down I’ll turn to ashes in your mouth Casting spells tripwire striptease Lift my dress spirits, tongues, and disease My ectoplasm summon what you can’t see Drain the psychic energy out of me Poison darts everywhere I walk A penny for your thoughts

Eye Spy 01:33

I made a wrong turn in God’s neighborhood Last rites holy communion this time for good No place like home a chance to say goodbye It’s a precious gift it’s a cruel trick crossing the divide Let’s get lost Rewind time out of mind return us to childhood I wanna cut the brakes hear you laugh look for flashing lights Morning songs, insulin syringe, carnation sights I wanna live this life in reverse Insomnia mind can’t stop thinking the worst Tribe to an island carry the family Six became three saw too much tragedy Little boy sick with disease Brave face carries bodies resist for country Agony in bloom I’m flowering in the dark Paralyzed by grief don’t know where to start Never apart promise to adore tell her she’s alright Rest your eyes give up the fight
6.
Death of kingdom last breath a cleaver in the palace Royal stories in the air we breathe Suffocate on history colonial ties cloud our lungs Repulsive power we’re winded and gasping Folklore mouthfuls of greed and red We are all short of breath Stab wounds on the Senate floor Crumble the province we can’t take it Full moon rises stars crash Dictators set to expire calendars from history Cloned vapors seeping earth’s time machine Stories skip while Caesar flies in dreams High priest supreme deity Ritual sacrifice beware Son of man a deadline to settle your debts We all breathe tyranny Sick with plague sick with power A ring around Rosie Burnt to ashes we all fall down They are set to expire
7.
Scratch their back and they’ll hatch wars Election day thieves settle the score Case of emergency power writes history Case of emergency build more cages Until we’re never free never free Will you die with your eyes open? Red skies in the morning Did they die with their eyes open? Take warning take warning Emerald eyes watch me take off my clothes Emerald eyes ask me who my family knows Trade secret torture it’s crowd control Handshake promises laced with bullet holes Shrines built for holy books on the heads of checkpoint babies and the lives they took Will my crying mother return to the sea My father his little brothers through the eyes of me Balfour dreams of exile and the natives are getting hostile Balfour dreams of exile birthright cleansing They can’t kill us all
8.
We’re running in place addicted to everything Skin deep pretty and neat keep it on the surface Small talk trivia we want a shallow existence Century of self is sprawling and we’re all famished We’re devoted to desire indulgence no attention I wanna live in one dimension Distract me no dreaming A monument to pleasure Ravenous lusting for nothing, choking on progress and change Play by the rules we’re out of order, void, an idle game We’re devoted to desire indulgence no attention I wanna live in one dimension Distract me no dreaming The queen of complacency In uniform no heart In uniform no bones In uniform no eyes We’re leaving all feelings behind
9.
They’re coming for me now Nothing scares me anyhow I can’t feel the heat Some kind of crazy scene I’m gonna let this one rip It’s just another fucked up trip I’m gonna let this one rip It’s just another fucked up trip Oh god how it bores me To see myself in pain But I give myself freely To become a once again I’m gonna let this one rip It’s just another fucked up trip I’m gonna let this one rip I’m on another fucked up trip They’re coming for me now Nothing scares me anyhow Nothing scares me anymore Just another manic whore You can’t hurt me now Nothing scares me anyhow Nothing scares me anymore Burning skulls rise once more

about

“Will you die with your eyes open?”

Washington D.C.’s NØ MAN is a necessary and much-needed voice in modern hardcore. Formed in 2017, the four-piece punk band has been alchemizing the personal and the political from the jump. Composed of members from Majority Rule, the band’s current aims go hand-in-hand with their past, sonically and thematically.

Their upcoming album Glitter and Spit is the band’s third full-length LP, solidifying their furious hardcore into a weapon of a record. Album opener “Eat My Twin” twists and refracts a mid-tempo riff into a sonic hammer, cracking open the record’s heaviness to come. Singer Maha Shami has fully come into her own as a frontperson, snarling out the most vicious vocals of her career on “Poison Darts.”

As the daughter of refugees, returning home to Palestine included witnessing first-hand the casual atrocities inflicted on her family. Though written before the current conflict’s boiling point, Glitter and Spit synthesizes the 70+ years of systemic violence carried out against Palestine and her own lived experiences. From school teachers and classmates telling her Palestine doesn’t exist, to being humiliated by soldiers at checkpoints when she visited her family, these many moments fuel the album’s lifeblood, coalescing on “Can’t Kill Us All.”

“They want to silence us,” Shami said at a recent benefit show in D.C. “We will be louder. We aren’t fucking going anywhere. Because Palestine will never die.” Glitter and Spit is a much-needed fire of an album, fueled by the anxieties and anger of the now, erupting in a cathartic inferno.

The band’s members Matt Michel (guitar/vocals), Pat Broderick (drums) and Kevin Lamiell (Bass) helped lay the foundation for hardcore and screamo in Majority Rule from 1996 to 2004. Alongside the band, vocalist Maha Shami has been a longtime friend, giving a “cameo” guest vocal performance on Majority Rule’s “Packaged Poison” in 2004. When Majority Rule reunited in 2017 to perform multiple benefit shows, it ignited a desire to keep creating, and no one was better equipped to step in as front person than Shami.

Their energy and spirit have brought them together on tour with bands like Portrayal of Guilt, Darkest Hour, FAIM, Entry and more. In 2023 they collaborated with former tourmates and fellow iconoclasts The HIRS Collective on the song “Sweet Like Candy.” They’ve also contributed to Secret Voice’s (the label of Touche Amore frontman Jeremy Bolm) compilation Balladeers, Redefined.
