Warnings

Some of Severe Tire Damage's songs use words that may be inappropriate for small children and the narrow minded.

SONG BAD WORDS
Who Cares "The bastards just turn up the gain..."
"...who fucking cares..."
We Hate This Song "You're just our fans, so fuck you..."
"This shit's for the birds..."
Around and Around "...while I sit on my ass..."
Chris Killed Your Dog "...he overheard you bitching..."
"...shut up, cunt..."
I Need More "...sell it to Bruce Springsteen."

If anyone's offended, consider the fact that our songs talk about cancer, drug use, euthanasia for hire, and ruining the environment. The songs that don't use foul language are about home surgery with power tools, schizophrenia, the warm feeling of watching a friend's car burn, getting killed in a gun duel, and running with scissors.

It wasn't easy filling an hour show every Wednesday night. So Severe Tire Damage created a few videos to kill time between sets. Proactive slacking, from the only band that really cares, Severe Tire Damage.
