The band members can now cop their own forties. They’ve self-released 7-inches and have toured with comparable bands such as The Casualties and The Unseen. They have quickly risen through the ranks of the US street punk scene. Along the way, they’ve built a loyal fan base of kids who have been itching for more Clit 45. After having just inked a deal with LA’s BYO Records, they’ve recorded their first official long player, “Self-Hate Crimes,” released on April 19, 2005. The album delivers everything dangerous and exciting about youth. Take, for example, the lead track, “Can’t Stop the Bleeding”, which clocks in at just over a minute and a half and delivers a sharp blow to the ears. Lead vocalist Dave shouts with a venomous passion as he’s backed solidly by his longtime companion on the guitar, Mike. Tucked in the rhythm section to tie the sounds up is longtime A Global Threat drummer, Mike. It’s easy to dismiss this noise as just that, but you’ll catch yourself chanting to yourself the hook to the song “Cut me cut slice slice kill I'm a used rolled dollar bill”.
Clit 45, as of Dec. 2006, has gone on "indefinite hiatus", citing the need for a break from the band and each other. This frees them up to do various musical and non-musical projects, which they may or may not keep the public informed about.
To quote the band: "Let me clarify, we are not breaking up."
Clit 45 announced that they had disbanded on Christmas Day, 2007 via their MySpace page, so they basically lied. Their reason for breaking up is because they all became worthless drug addicts.
No Surrender
Clit 45 Lyrics
Jump to: Line by Line Meaning ↴
In our jobs on the streets they want the punks annihilation
Break you down then brainwash you I've seen so many fall
But I don't care for acceptance cause I fucking hate them all
[Chorus:]
Out of place But I won't surrender
Words don't mean a thing when your mind is made of steel
They get power through possessions, ours comes through our ideals
Might not have shit but we stand for something real
They want you to think You can't make it on your own
That you're all alone
That your life is a waste
You're not like them cause you're out of place
Everywhere we go all we get is degredation
We are constantly subjected to disrespect and humiliation wherever we go.
In our jobs on the streets they want the punks annihilation
Whether it is in our workplaces or on the streets, society aims for the destruction of our punk subculture.
Break you down then brainwash you I've seen so many fall
People can be easily influenced and corrupted by society after subjecting them to various forms of brainwashing and we have seen many succumb to it.
But I don't care for acceptance cause I fucking hate them all
I refuse to seek social acceptance because I hold contempt towards them all.
Out of place But I won't surrender
Even though we do not fit in and feel estranged, we will not give up.
They want you to change, bow down and kneel
Society demands conformity and submission, forcing people to change and to acquiesce.
Words don't mean a thing when your mind is made of steel
When one's mind is made up with strong convictions, words alone are inconsequential.
They get power through possessions, ours comes through our ideals
Power for them comes from owning possessions, while we derive power from our values and beliefs.
Might not have shit but we stand for something real
We may not have material wealth, but we have genuine principles and convictions.
They want you to think You can't make it on your own
Society strives to convince you that you are not capable of surviving independently.
That you're all alone
Society also makes you feel isolated and cut off from the rest of humanity.
That your life is a waste
Society seeks to make you feel that your life is meaningless and unimportant.
You're not like them cause you're out of place
You do not conform to society's norms, and therefore, you feel out of place.
