Books Lie
It A Weapon CD - Satellite Transmissions

Books Lie's debut album, "It A Weapon", is a furious but fun romp of thrashing punk and anthemic hardcore that harkens back to the days when playing such music meant things like expressing individuality, questioning the world around you, and embracing one's musical community on an all-ages/DIY level - all while striving to create a good time for all.

With great love and pride for their Brooklyn, New York home, Books Lie deal with "issues" through a deeply personal perspective, thus filling their songs with equal parts passionate emotion and social/political consciousness. "It A Weapon" jumps out of stereo speakers with aggressive riffs, frantic rhythms, explosive vocals, and a relentless energy that pairs anger with humor and an unmatched sincerity. Musically reminiscent of such disparate groups as Heroin, John Henry West, Born Against, Negative Approach, and Black Flag. With more spirit than nearly any band close to them, Books Lie are jolting hardcore punk into a new century, all the while re-defining it along the way.
