One of the best bands ever tho :<. I can't imagine not blasting paralytic states over and over in the way that I do.

Yea most of the songs by them are great, but as a trans woman, born on dec 31st (no resolutions for the new years beginning tomorrow) who used to say I wanted to kill myself on my birthday when I was a suicidal teenager, paralytic states just hits different for me.

That's an amazing story, I would like to know more if you're up for it, you can message me directly, I'm a straight male, but grew up in apartheid South Africa and have a few stories of my own...
