In their second effort, Apocalyp2 by the South Erie Rockers, delivers a more cohesive set of songs, while continuing their eclectic mix of musical genres. Rock and roll, blues, country, bluegrass, Americana, and R&B all stand out in their respective melodies. They incorporate their usual plethora of instruments. A listeners' ears will tune to a wide range of guitars, mandolins, banjos, pianos, organs, harmonicas, drums & percussion.
By topic, Apocalyp2 by the South Erie Rockers, provides a vertiginous and bewildering abstract view of the post covid world, full of mass hysteria, fatalism, delusional mass psychosis, greed & selfishness, mayhem, anarchy, political chaos & polarization, war & nuclear destruction, hyper over sensitivity, and on and on and on... The South Erie Rockers poetic lyrics are full of sarcastic quips and statements relevant to a world where decadence, doom, decay & pessimism outweigh love and eternal hope. Words and lyrics ponder which scenario will prevail or will nothing prevail at all – perhaps leaving mankind in a purgatory toxic soup comprised of all things good, bad, ugly and endful. A Hieronymus Bosch like broth with differing portions and tastes rising to the surface only to be submerged again but not forgotten and soon resurrected. Do we move forward with hope or backslide (without noticing) into superstition, darkness and despair. Do we continue to fall off a cliff in our gilded cages, full of vice, social media excess, isolation and extortion like lemmings into the sea. Is the collapse of Western society just over the horizon, primarily driven by American greed and culture - thus initiating an ultimate contagion that envelopes the rest of the civilized world. Can we rise above the angst or will the world dissolve into wars of race, culture, and religious beliefs ? Will a new day dawn from over the rainbow - a rebirth of form and human spirit ? Or, will it be something more dark and sinister ...
From "Peace & Freedom" - Apocalyp2 / The South Erie Rockers
Anarchy .... obeys no laws Autocracy ..... pays off its flaws Would you compromise your freedom to legitimize your cause
Liberty how long can it long endure Democracy does it justify a war standing on the edge... be careful what you wish for soon it could all be gone
