teeth 02:25
You'll take the perfect picture If it takes all day And you'll waste all of our time Waiting on the light No space, in the frame For anyone else to stay Too much, teeth in your smile Every photo fades Everyone knows your face Following your life But your friends Yeah we've all forgotten your name No space, in the frame For anyone else to stay Too much, teeth in your smile Every photo fades

Call me in, call me out Just call me, call me at all It's Sunday night on my couch The weekend's over And it's over all over again And you know I'll be at home I don't do much at all Try my best to reach out I haven't seen you In a while Everyone deserves to be here It's ten pm, do you know Where your friends are? And you know they'll be at home They don't do much at all It's ten pm, do you know Where your friends are? It's ten pm, do you know Where your friends are? And you know we'll be at home We don't do much at all

made wrong 03:20
She says I don't wanna be this way "It's just how I'm made." Made wrong But I know when she says "It's time to go" She stays gone But if you stay I could forget the way it's been But if you stay I could forget everything Everything She keeps her hands down I save my breath She keeps her hands down I save my breath But if you stay I could forget the way it's been But if you stay I could forget everything Everything

You didn't have to stay But you did it anyways And now I can see It was never up to me You are selfish but you are strong And you were right all along And now I can see That I was nothing To write home about Set in my ways But you still stayed And I am no one without The better part That you bring to me You didn't have to stay But you did it anyways And now I can see It was never up to me You are selfish but you are strong And you were right all along And now I can see That I was nothing to write home about Set in my ways But you still stayed And I am no one without The better part That you bring to me And now I can see You are the better part of me And now I can see You are the better part of me

I heard it snowed in your new town tonight But please don't call if you're stuck inside Because I hope that you're cold Whenever you're alone And I hope you think of me When it snows I always think of you when the weather gets like this And I know it's wrong to think of you at all Because I hope that you're cold Whenever you're alone And I hope you think of me When it snows I hope that you're cold Whenever you're alone And I hope you think of me When it snows

about

Always Tired is an emocore band out of Fayetteville, Arkansas. Their debut album Contact Sports comes out on June 30th, 2023 on both cassette and digital retailers everywhere.

With an appreciation for early emo bands from the 80's, post-hardcore and punk, Always Tired provides a passionately raw performance. After releasing a single, an EP and playing a lot of local shows, Always Tired got together to record an album. Contact Sports features the studio recordings of six tracks and on the b-side of the album, those same six tracks, in sequence, live.

The question would be why release it in that format? Singer and guitarist Michael Sweater notes that "We wanted to leave a record of what we actually sounded in the room when preparing the material." Flanked by lead guitarist Park Bradford, bass player Kyle Kamninski, and drummer Jrd, the band is hungry to get their music out there. They're already working on new songs for a follow up.

Always Tired will be playing a lot of local shows around the release and are open to touring opportunities. Follow them on Bandcamp and Instagram.

25% of the profits will be going to Intransitive:

“Intransitive works to advance the cause of Trans liberation in Arkansas through art, education, advocacy, organizing and culture in order to create effective systemic change and on-the-ground impact."
