you took their innocence
in the months to follow he said
give up your choice to be here
you left them for all these years
pressure was not your fault
you took them from
farewell to your innocence
Toronto band Respire deliver a post-hardcore tour de force on the largest scale possible, orchestrally rich and incessantly uncompromising. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 6, 2021
Cult leader has been an underrated great band. Heavy, intelligent. I saw them a couple times including this past year. Would hope they tour in 2024. Son Nguyen
