1) Introducing… BARS, formed by individuals steeped in hardcore/punk history, the band has offered up an album that is a stripped-down, sonic onslaught. The debut is laden with a pissed-off rock n’ roll swagger that is as pummeling as it is catchy. Regardless of perspective or expectations, Bars make rock n’ roll, and make it explode.
Formed in the summer of 2002 the Boston quintet pooled their influences and channeled them into a raw, focused outlet absent of gimmicks or facades. After a few rehearsals and in between touring schedules (of Give up the Ghost, The Hope Conspiracy and Suicide File), they began writing songs with only one goal in mind; start a band that is truly no frills punk rock. As things started to fall into place, the first handful of ideas quickly grew into 10 songs displaying the influence of such bands as The Dead Boys and Entombed.
After sending demos to Equal Vision Records, the label put BARS in the studio with producer Jim Siegel at the Outpost (Stoughton, MA). The result was Introducing…, an album brimming with razor sharp punk tunes that incorporates the musical influences of The Misfits and Queens Of The Stone Age. Vocally, Bars is about as straightforward as a fist in the face. Drawing comparisons to Tim Singer and Henry Rollins, Kevin Baker directs the sonic assault of Bars like a laser-guided weapon set to the tune of disenchantment, paranoia and defiance.
Starting off the album is “Bright Lights For Demise”, is an instant sing-a-long of pissed off aggression and guitar licks unheard in today’s current rock scene. On “Toecutter”, the listener is taken on a ride of riffs that is both punishing and memorable homage to start-stop riff masters Helmet. “Type Face Love Letter” shows that guitar hooks that were once on mainstream radio are now more than ever sorely missed and that’s the point. To take the past and making it relevant today.
No other band puts the rock n’ roll back in the scene better than the BARS. Introducing… is the revival of 80’s punk and hardcore. Fans will soon be searching out Black Flag and Discharge to see what they were missing and thanking the BARS.

Like It Never Was
Bars Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take this road and you won't go far
Fail to breathe no words to speak
If I could breathe I'd gain some faith
We can't get, we can't get
Running stumbling, falling apart
We can't get away
Where did you go when the pain set in
The result of dropping out to live
The streets are alive with vicious lies
Set a crash course destroy and die
Never live it down this is what I do
Sifting through the trash
Just to be with you
Never live it down this is what I do
Sifting through the trash
Just to see things through
We can't get, we can't get
Running stumbling, falling apart
We can't get away
We can't get, we can't get
Running stumbling, falling apart
We can't get away
This is my body burning
This is my head exploding
This is the sky falling down
I'll keep running
I'll get away
I'll keep running
I'll get away
I'll keep running
I'll get away

Line by Line Meaning
Set fire shoot out the stars
Starting something big that will have a great impact
Take this road and you won't go far
Choosing a path that will not lead to success
Fail to breathe no words to speak
Being too overwhelmed to communicate effectively
If I could breathe I'd gain some faith
Believing in oneself when things get tough
Where did you go when the pain set in
Questioning where someone went when faced with hardships
The result of dropping out to live
The consequence of leaving one's responsibilities to live freely
The streets are alive with vicious lies
People around have false intentions and are not trustworthy
Set a crash course destroy and die
Making poor choices that ultimately lead to self-destruction
Never live it down this is what I do
Feeling stuck in a cycle of negative behavior
Sifting through the trash just to be with you
Going through difficult times to maintain a relationship
We can't get, we can't get
Being stuck and unable to move forward
Running stumbling, falling apart
Struggling through obstacles that keep emerging
This is my body burning
Feeling intense pain and discomfort
This is my head exploding
Feeling overwhelmed and a sense of losing control
This is the sky falling down
Feeling like everything is falling apart
I'll keep running I'll get away
Persisting and continuing to chase after one's goals

Either Swave vs twork, “ Just taught me how to shoot my utensils... Blaow now ima use it against you” or Verb vs twork “ So it’s showtime im at ya crib he like it ain’t gon be dat though... Blaow nigga yes it is”
5DollarShake
Twork literally has 20 of the top 50 punches in battle rap history.
HB Dismuke
It’s crazy how Twork’s delivery is bonafide legendary and some rappers do that type of flow.
Isaiah Mc Intosh
Twork has control over all his dynamics. The rate and the volume control is insane. If you compare him to someone like Danny or qp you see how much tworks restraint makes the difference. Check back the verb 3rd round that shit was a lesson.
Connor Knox
That "One finger lighting up" ET rebuttal is absolutely CRAZY
Dayne Rose
Twork the most influential battle rapper right now. He change the game.
