This is not a political post or taking sides. It’s informational. . You may have heard on the news where protesters, rioters, looters, freedom fighters ... also know as people, have been shot at/with rubber bullets. If like me at one time, you thought “small, soft little projectiles,” you would be incorrect. For size comparison, I have included a 9mm cartridge, a 12 gauge shotgun shell, and a D size battery (more on that to come). You will notice that the rubber bullet is a rather large and hard projectile. This one came From “The Troubles” in Northern Ireland. It MAY have been used on “Bloody Sunday.” It has been told to me, that on occasion, soldiers would put a battery behind the rubber projectile to give it an extra wallop. I don’t know. I wasn’t there. Again, this is just to give you context the next time you read or hear “Rubber bullets were fired on ....” . . large rubber bullets fired on a gathering crowd can be deadly force . #haiku #poetry #poet #poetsofinstagram #rubberbullet #rubberbullets #humanscale #comparison #scale #education #themoreyouknow #thetroubles #riots https://www.instagram.com/p/B5EG9MapzYA/?igshid=1lucub19x1meb

I was introduced to Rubberbullet by a friend of mine pretty recently, and I’ve been blown away by their unique brand of hard, angry art rock. Open is their second and final full length album, and my favorite at this point. Beth Clardy’s aggressive vocal stylings really tie together the rumbling bass, noisy guitar, and heavy rhythmic drums by band founder Earl Harvin. “A Curse to Be Cheated” opens the album with a constant flurry of 16th notes and chanting vocals. “Grinning Bitches,” the single from the album, takes a similar approach but relies on the fiercely distorted vocals with lyrics that feel pushed out of empty lungs. The slower tempo “Killing is Kind” is another excellent track that gradually builds with repetitive triplets to a really killer climax. This album is definitely worth checking out!
