Crimeless Victims 02:46

We will not be in touch Always askin’ for too much We won’t keep your resume Take care of yourself out there We don’t wanna be friends Too busy with the modern trends Won’t add you to our database Can’t even remember your face Ready’s an illusion, later’s a trap Tomorrow’s a dream, someday is a nightmare Our decision was made weeks ago We just didn’t want to let you know Applying again is a waste of time You won’t believe how far we draw the line There won’t be a next time Don’t even bother to drop us a line Salvation comes from sin Born to lose dying to win Ready’s an illusion, later’s a trap Tomorrow’s a dream, someday is a nightmare

I’ve been silent for far too long Now I wanna show you my true love Call me dumb and square, I don’t care Deep inside I feel something so real Close your eyes Voodoo time This is lust At first sight Dreaming of voodoo love Thinking of voodoo love Gonna make love without you Make you fall in love without me A magic sex doll is all I need All the passion of an intense dream Close your eyes Voodoo time This is lust At first sight Dreaming of voodoo love Thinking of voodoo love Run away The spell is done The best you see Is yet to come Looking out voodoo love Step inside voodoo love Close your eyes Voodoo time This is lust At first sight Dreaming of voodoo love Thinking of voodoo love Run away The spell is done The best you see Is yet to come Voodoo love voodoo love Voodoo… Close your eyes Voodoo time This is lust At first sight Voodoo love voodoo love Voodoo love voodoo love

Persecuzione Oscuro orizzonte Sulla montagna La morte di fronte Misteriosi Cercando di scappare Nell'oscurità Dobbiamo negare Importa chi sono Dovvrano pagare Non li lasceremo Arrampicare L'arrampicata Persecuzione immediata L'arrampicata Bravíssima giornata Combattiamo Per la nostra vita Futuro è nero Fortuna già scritta Nessuna speranza Nessuna paura Macabra danza Intenzione pura Inseguiti In una terra straniera Nient'altro da fare ma Accelerare L'arrampicata Bravíssima giornata L'arrampicata Storia mai raccontata Avete pagato caro Non avete pagato tutto Avete pagato caro Non avete pagato tutto Non importa la velocità Non importa se è già mattinata Non scappano di questa città Questa è l'arrampicata L'arrampicata Storia mai raccontata L'arrampicata Persecuzione immediata L'arrampicata Bravíssima giornata L'arrampicata Storia mai raccontata

The plan is clear We see and we hear Get rid of the bottom feeders Corrupt their faith in leaders Your cause is hopeless Your struggle is pointless We’ve got opinion makers To crush the law breakers A threat of violence To buy your silence Demoralize the strike Burn down your rights No debate Our flag reads hate Hope is exterminated Now here comes the hatred Mohawk Valley Formula (3X) The doctor says it’s fine Mohawk Valley Formula (3X) Caress me until I’m blind The banner is clear Order and fear Smell the propaganda Designed to bring you under No deduction Public corruption Sabotage your fight Won’t let you unite Scream in fear So all can hear Our job is to unite the nation With puppet associations Discord and strife To show our might Public is intoxicated Now here comes the hatred Mohawk Valley Formula (3X) The propaganda is clear Mohawk Valley Formula (3X) A time of hate and fear Hang the perpetrators Immoral agitators Your blood my need And now go back to sleep Go back to sleep Go back to work

I wanna live with passion Be a vibrant part of the action Most people have no idea In our hearts there’s no more fear Vanilla, there’s no need to be scared When I taste your spice I’m addicted that’s my vice Tropical orchid of fire Inhale love, exhale desire Vanilla, there’s no need to pretend All you need is less Desire is not a question She will never come back I’m in a hell-like dimension All you need is less Everytime I close my eyes She will never come back Vanilla fills me inside Vanilla, there’s no need to be scared Vanilla, there’s no need to pretend Vanilla, all things come to an end

Behind the sun Pass the dream Sailing on A warm iced tea Hold me close Tenderly Juicy storm Cross the streams Waiting is forbidden In the devil’s playground Now and then Consequences matter Alive or dead Doesn’t make it better Aim too high Everything is all Shine so bright Shrimp waterfall Behind the sun Catch a dream Bottom of A yellow sea What’s the rush? Try to sleep Numb away Follow me Run out of time You’re next in line Every day Pink pineapples fall In my head Big isn’t small Loneliness Spring isn’t fall Watered by A shrimp waterfall

about

"Todo o imaginário lírico da banda gira em torno dos fronteiriços mexicanos e americanos, mas nem os próprios não estão muito convencidos disso. Mas, também, pouco importa, pois o que verdadeiramente interessa aqui é que a sua música é fresca, cheia de adrenalina e com muita energia para espalhar.
Face ao álbum anterior, nota-se um aprimorar da matéria dada. Se o primeiro trabalho já continha toda a energia e loucura típica da banda, este Shrimp Waterfall oferece uma maior diversidade musical, explorando novas sonoridades, e até novos idiomas. O grande feito aqui foi que conseguiram manter o ar selvagem e delirante de Cataplana América adicionando uns ingredientes melódicos e orelhudos que encaixam maravilhosamente bem. O garage punk-rock ainda está lá, e bem, mas com ele estão também outras variantes que vêm aprimorar o trabalho da banda, com um leque de géneros e referências mais variado.
Inglês, italiano, francês ou português do Brasil: a verdade é que este quinteto explosivo é capaz de colocar a malta toda a abanar o esqueleto seja em que língua for, e isso é um enorme feito. Além disso, fiquei ainda com mais saudades de os ver ao vivo, pois é sempre uma experiência selvagem e na qual não sabemos se vamos acabar o concerto descalços ou a ser banhados por cerveja alheia. Em ambas as situações, acreditem que compensa." - Gonçalo Cardoso (Ruído Sonoro)



"Depois de Cataplana América ter vincado bem a essência destes 5 comparsas do Barreiro, mostrando que o caos enérgico e energizante, a destruição e a folia em ebulição seriam algo que nos prendia de imediato, Shrimp Waterfall mantém essa essência bordando-a de um modo mais requintado, controverso e ainda mais tropical. Não só temos um cocktail de cores, sabores e sonoridades como temos uma mistura tropical intensa, variada, agridoce, quente e fria, brilhante, glamourosa e até brega. A temática retratada é uma aposta vincada em temas como a ilusão, injustiça, opressão, violência, liberdade ou falta dela, falsidade, política, crime, máfia, rebanhos, corrupção, medos. malaguetas e até voodoo. Tudo isto embrulhado em camadas de garage eufórico, punk limado e muita loucura sã. Segundo os Castros, a sua música define-se como “garage-punk-rock maníaco e febril” e, como tal, é impossível resistir a ela. Cheiram-se influências dos finais dos anos 70, inícios de 80 numa linha meio The Scientists, meio The Fuzztones passando por Johnny Thunders e até uns the Kinks sem esquecer os grandes The Cramps ou ainda uma brisa de Stooges entre centenas de bandas garage e punk do antigamente que nos fizeram aquilo que somos hoje.
Depois de ser embrulhada nesta cascata melódica que me fez andar numa espécie de montanha russa intensa, só anseio o dia de poder comer uma açorda de camarão com os olhos e ouvidos em formato real nestes Castros!" - Eliana Berto (Música em DX)
