Pissing Razors history in El Paso can be traced back to Rodriguez and Lynch's tenure with 90's metal band Sadist, the band folding when their singer joined the Navy. Lynch founded the soon to be titled Pissing Razors with Eddie Garcia on drums, his brother on bass and vocalist Loco Pelon. Rodrigues supplanted Pelon in 1995 as the band toured America with Stuck Mojo and Pro-Pain. The band toured Europe and America as support to Pro-Pain during early 1998.
Pissing Razors would pull in new vocalist Jason Bragg for a 2001 album 'Where We Come From' for their new label Spitfire Records. The group would embark on a further round of American dates in 2002, headlined by Cannibal Corpse and billed alongside Dark Funeral and Incantation, commencing on the 24th April in Los Angeles. Bragg pulled out in October and was swiftly replaced by Andre Acosta. The band had previously announced plans to tour with Skinlab, Dope, and Primer 55 throughout the winter but curtailed these shows due to the vocalist change. A further blow came in quick succession as within days of Bragg's exit guitarist Cesar Soto too left the band. Citing personal differences Soto almost immediately unveiled plans for a fresh act entitled Fueled II Fire, featuring none other than erstwhile Pissing Razors personnel singer Joe Rodriguez and guitarist Matt Lynch alongside former Angelburn bassist Hector Gallardo and drummer Danny Contreras of Wick=War=Burn.
Pissing Razors pulled in ex-Single Bullet Theory guitarist Matt Difabio during November. A new studio album, billed as 'Evolution', was set for April 2003 issue and promoted with a North American tour that saw the group allied with 40 Grit, Society 1 and Luxt. In August it was learned that the Pissing Razors rhythm section of bassist Rick Valles and drummer Eddy Garcia had united in a side project band with the Skinlab pairing of vocalist Steve Esquivel and guitarist Steve Green.
Guitarist Matt Difabio bailed out in February of 2004, his priorities with Single Bullet Theory taking precedence. Ex-singer Jason Bragg forged Drip Licorice. In August it would be announced that Pissing Razors bassist Rick Vallez would be handling all guitar duties for Ministry.
In mid August 2005 frontman Andre Acosta announced he had joined forces with Single Bullet Theory guitarist Matt Difabio in a new band unit dubbed Preface. Also involved would be John Chernoski on guitar, Jason Dunkerly on drums and Bill Mez on bass.
You Never Know
Pissing Razors Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Will see you in the following day
You'll never know if the family who loves you
Regret the things they wanted to say
You never know if your lifetime of existence
Will betray you in the blink of an eye
We'll never know the answer
And still the question remains, why must it take us?
Your memory is all that is left
I tried to forget by covering up reality
In hopes that you were really somewhere else
We'll never know how much your life affected us
If today would have never come
We'll never know the answer
And still the question remains, why must it take us?
Yeah
I sense my brain collecting all the moments
Your face and your laughter roaming free
We tend to take everything for granted
You never know when it's gonna end
Your soul at rest, put yourself at peace
'cause we'll see you in the following day
Your soul at rest, put yourself at peace
'cause we'll see you in the following day
God rest your soul
You never know
