about

Inspired by the sugar mafia that gained control on our nation's diet in the early 20th century, SITD is a metaphorical rallying cry for detaching ourselves from toxic ideas from our pasts.

lyrics

We’ve always got some shit to do
It’s not easy to parse what we’re going through
We’re in a rush but it’s time to discuss
What the food you eat’s gonna do to you

Life seemed much simpler back when
Our diet was defined by grains
We’re waking up
The sun is here
The lie is become plain

It doesn’t matter if you’re big tall short or tiny
Sugar is the devil
There’s nothing in the past that should not be left behind
Sugar is the devil
Don’t deny yourself a snack or treat
There are just some things you should never eat

There’s no end to things we’ll never know
There’s grace in the art of letting go
We all makes mistakes and run in place
If we look we’ll find more room to grow

We’d longed to trust in words from above
We know now
They are not enough
They’re not even from above

CHORUS

You’re feeling sickly
That’s not how it has to be
Don’t trust the industry
Know your enemy

about

Aaron Tap image

Aaron Tap Los Angeles, California

Aaron Tap is terrible at branding. So he releases shit from both his current band Frank Shirts and, lately, the resurrected Boston trio Betty Goo, and maybe someday even a solo record. There are themes, yeah, but mostly it's whatever spirit moves the music that decides what name it goes by.

Aaron also plays and sings with Matt Nathanson, the Paula Kelley Orchestra, and Populuxe. ... more
