Autograph of the Sun

Not many have the courage to scream what they think is right into somebody's face, especially when that somebody is in a position of power. Father and son, playing as fast as they can bring back what WAS punk with a message that might offend some. They're just an extremely left wing, vegetarian, atheist punk band. And if you just read that and thought "They're trash" because of either "atheist", "vegeratarian" or "left wing", **** off. We don't need people like you. If you had any form of doubt, don't try to help us. We're determined people. Still reading? Good.

Autograph of the Sun, as you probably know, aren't afraid to say whatever the hell they want as long as they believe it. They debuted with the single Crash! You probably haven't heard Crash! or may not like it. It's original. It's not the mainstream punk that everyone considers punk. It's a strange ballad, and if there's any controversy, YES, IT'S A CRITICISM OF THE U.S. GOVERNMENT.

With a British singer, acoustic guitarist and keyboardist and his American-born, but Japanese-at-heart (any bad comments? **** you) son for a songwriter, electric guitar and acoustic guitarist, Autograph of the Sun launch into the world, where only the strong await them.

Liner Notes: What if the world went dark just for a second. Just for a single second, everything stopped. Even the beating of hearts. The whole world falling like dominoes. So today is the day that thousands died, the day that thousands cried. Bodies piling up so suddenly. "Evacuate immediately!" Kids were crying, many dying and the fools were lying. It's just a death mine. "CRASH!" Ashes to ashes. Just like inferno to ash. Innocents living lives that have been hijacked. "Don't you know!? Planes crashed!" Two twins were standing side by side, so they both died. A side trip attacked but failed. Future strikes have been bailed. Kids were crying, many dying and the fools were lying. It's just a death mine. "CRASH!" Strike two-failed, future-bailed. Side by side-died. "What's going on? What's wrong? Mommy, what's going on?" "CRASH!" The pentagon is half gone. Two sisters side by side-died. "What's going on, what's wrong, mom, WHAT'S GOING ON?" "CRASH!"
