SONG: "Fucking Liar" (re-recorded version)
ARTIST: X-State Ride
ALBUM: "Comrade Games" EP
YEAR: 2016
PLACE OF ORIGIN: Guastalia, Bologna, Italy
YEARS ACTIVE: 2002 - 2017
WHAT I THINK THE SONG IS ABOUT:
I can't find the lyrics to "Fucking Liar" anywhere on the net so after a few listens, it appears to be about how people, or a person, try to obstruct your path or try to stand in the way of your goals or what you're trying to achieve, or even what you believe in. The vocalist seems like he's going to stand his ground and fight for what he believes in no matter what.

MY THOUGHTS ON X-STATE RIDE:
X-State Ride was an Italian band that formed back in 2002. After honing their craft for four years, the band released their debut album in 2006, titled "The Great Rebirth". One year later, the band dropped their sophomore full length studio album, "Against Me". After five more years of touring relentlessly, the band released what I think is their best album, 2013's "X-State Ride". Their most recent release was the 2016 EP "Comrade Games". In 2017, the band announced on their Facebook page that they had broken up. X-State Ride is kinda like Italy's version of Propagandhi! Fast, melodic, hardcore, technical punk rock! Really solid band. I don't follow a ton of punk bands outside the U.S., but X-State Ride was a very good band. It's a shame that it's getting harder and harder these days for good, underground bands to stay afloat. I'm not sure how it is overseas, but I know that here in the U.S., we lose some really good bands yearly just because it's harder and harder to make any money just releasing albums anymore. All their money is through touring and merch and let's face it, some of these bands charge like $10 for their shows, which is great for us fans, but takes a real toll on these underground bands. Oh well. Here's to 15 great years as a band X-State Ride! Solid band for sure.
