1)German Hardcore/Grindcore group from the 90’s.
2) Stack, a Japanese doujin vocalist. Circle: 暁Records
3)Psychedelic Hard Rock band from the US (‘69).
1) One is a german Hardcore/Grindcore group from the nineties localized in the diy underground. Members of that band used to play (currently or formerly) in other bands like Abolition, Nyctophobic, Black Shape of Nexus, Fear Is The Path To The Dark Side, Prone, Hellstrom, Attack of the Mad Axeman, The Notorious Love Affair, Gentle Art of Chokin’ and so on.

3) The other one is californian psychedelic hard rock band. A local Californian release and one of the rarest and probably the most significant American private press hard rock album of the era. Stack was ‘discovered’ in the mid-eighties and since then only a half-dozen original copies have ever turned up. Above All is a heavy blaster with echoes of U.K. freakbeat / psych creeping around in the shadows - Stack had an unusually super-distorted guitar sound, the result of using special custom made amps from a private factory in Los Angeles called Quilter. There’s also one cover version - a wild garage R&B of Leiber and Stoller’s Poison Ivy, and the remaining tracks are sixties style hard rock.
Stack were a figurehead group in a busy hard rock scene exploding out of the Los Angeles area in the late sixties. Formed out a surf act called The Vandells and another local act called Wabash Spencer, they went on to gig with such notables as Buffalo Springfield, Three Dog Night, Iron Butterfly, Illinois Speed Press and Frank Zappa. They were also often supported by Alice Cooper! However, fame and fortune eluded the band, not for lack of talent but because of a ‘bum’ deal from their record company. Signed for an eight year contract they were subsequently written off as a tax-loss, which left them contractually bound, no money and nowhere to go but obscurity.

Gravity
Stack Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In Stack's song "Gravity", the lyrics are questioning what is keeping people stuck in their monotonous and unfulfilling routines, suggesting it could be either the force of gravity or their own laziness and lack of motivation. By saying "drop the remote control", Stack is urging listeners to take action and break free from their sedentary lifestyle. The line "sickened dullness" implies that people are numbing themselves with mindless activities, such as watching television, because they feel unfulfilled in their lives. The repetition of the word "drop" emphasizes the need to let go of these habits and take control of one's own destiny.
The lyrics can also be interpreted as a commentary on society as a whole. With the prevalence of technology and constant distractions, people are becoming more disconnected from reality and stuck in a cycle of instant gratification. The line "what nails us to our seats" suggests that people are being held down by their own complacency and unwillingness to change. The overall message of the song is to break free from these chains and take charge of one's own life.

Drop the remote control!
Put down the device that controls your entertainment.
What is it that nails us to our seats?
What force keeps us sitting while we consume media?
Gravity or sickened dullness?
Is it the actual physical force of gravity or our own boredom and lack of motivation holding us down?
I guess it's time to drop the remote control.
Perhaps it's time to break the cycle of passive media consumption and take control of our own lives.

Daughter of Women.
From the Book of Daniel.
Old Testament
Though you were corrupted by the King of the North and whatever the god of forces, this new god, of which our forefathers new not. That he shall strengthen with precious stones, gold and silver. An unknown and new thing that is not of our learning, understanding or order.
Return yourself to the things of heaven that are not a hell. As described by the Archangel Gabriel in the Hadiths given unto our Muslim brothers and sisters and descendents of Ishmael son of Abraham from Hagar the Egyptian servant who met our Father at the well, proclaiming, "Behold the God who sees me" like unto no other God she had ever known, Selah.
Make way the ready for the coming of The Lord, make ready the way for the coming of The Lord, The Most High God of Israel, The Lord of Hosts and The King of Jacob.
As Daniel described, "She shall not stand for them" but returns to the rightful place with The One True God and Father, as should be the case for His
"Daughter of Women"
Your ministry awaits and Your place with God that is yours and yours alone. That the Holy One of Israel, The Son of Man and Our Father, wait for you, is no understatement. And so does the Kingdom of Heaven, The Kingdom of the Living God who holds Eternity in His hand and heart for us all.
Behold,
"The Daughter of Women"
And may she have much baggage, learning, wisdom and love, ready to minister unto so very many like her yet more vulnerable and persecuted, manipulated, controlled and victimised as this world does to so many.
She gotta be loved and so do us all.
Inshallah, Deo Volente Forever
Amen

Won free tickets to the SS show at HQ in Adelaide a couple years ago and I've had long term post-show depression ever since. What a night - what a band. x
@supermidgetninjarockturtle5723

@meganwright9761
this is really beautiful, boys!! 2:13 made me laugh. Can't wait until Homecoming tour :D
@sentientcrafter
Any bystanders would be like 'why is that guy yelling at a camera while walking down the beach...?' Then they'd laugh a lot because he kicked the sand and fell over XD
Nevertheless, great song! I was awake when this uploaded... I could have been obsessing over this song overnight but OH WELL. Great to see you guys together and making music!
@lyndalmcnulty3913
LOL love Shaun's face after he stacks it (falls over) - but it was only a "short stack" as he recovers quickly - grinning :) Great song guys!
@Bradactor
Should have a lot more views. If Short Stack were an American band they'd be all up in that cash money fame.
@pooweebum7024
Listening to the same song on repeat at 12:40 in the morning. Don't ever stop doing what you love guys, because you're amazing at it.
@cheekyoziechick
