Album Name: We Interrupt This Program
Band: Rise to Fight
Genre: Hard Rock, Heavy Metal
Scheduled Release Date: Early 2020
Label: Virtus Records
Recorded: V Studios, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

We Interrupt This Program is the debut album set for release in early 2020 by Pittsburgh based heavy metal band Rise to Fight. The album will be released through Virtus Records and was recorded at the company's V Studio in Pittsburgh. The album will include recently released single Push, which has reached #2 on weekly airplay charts as of this writing, though at this point no other songs have been hinted towards in the album.

According to main vocalist Leonard Hawkins Junior, the album will contain heavy topics conveyed through the heavy thrash style that made the group popular throughout the northeast region. All the songs that will be featured on the album were written by members of the band, sometimes by an individual, sometimes by multiple members. "The cool thing about having six members is that you have so many different experiences and viewpoints you can build these songs off of, and it really helps in making this album what it will become when we release it." Leonard explained. Five of the six members perform in each song, the exception is vocalist Christine Aktor, who misses a couple songs.

Track 1: Interruption

Length: 3:02
Writers: Leonard Hawkins Jr

Interruption is the opening track of the album and one of the earliest songs made by Rise to Fight. This is one of the songs in the album that does not feature vocalist Christine Aktor at all. The vocals are done entirely by Leonard Hawkins Jr, with the song having the very heavy, thrash metal tone that made the band popular.

Heavy/Screaming Vocals

Get ready for this!
Get ready for this!
Go!

Sorry to interrupt
Your little fun and games
You should know that
Life’s not easy to tame

Look at yourself
See how you have failed
Your life’s a prison
And here there is no bail

This is not an intervention
This is not an intervention
This is an interruption
This is an interruption

This is not an intervention
This is not an intervention
This is an interruption
This is an interruption

I don’t give a fuck
If you ever want to heal
All you ever did to us
Was lie, cheat and steal

So play your game
Piss on your own name
But you will see
You won’t do the same to me

This is not an intervention
This is not an intervention
This is an interruption
This is an interruption

This is not an intervention
This is not an intervention
This is an interruption
This is an interruption


At first I was disappointed
I thought I was the problem

Maybe I didn’t try hard enough
But then I seen
The problem wasn’t me

That’s when I knew
The problem was...YOU

(Instrumentals focusing on Daryl Segura's guitar last for about 15 seconds here)

This is not an intervention
This is not an intervention
This is an interruption
This is an interruption

This is not an intervention
This is not an intervention
This is an interruption
This is an interruption

STOP!



Track 2: Push

Can you hear me?
Do you even care?
I try to reach out.
But it’s like nobody’s there.

I want to help you
But I don’t know what to say
Cause when I get close
You push me away

Push!

Stuck in self-loathing
Stuck in your lonely life
I try to reach you
Try to pull you from this strife

I want to help you
But I don’t know what to say
Cause when I get close
You push me AWAYYY

Push!
Push!
Push!
Push!


You judge my reasons
You act like I don’t care!
You try to tell me
What is right and what is fair!

But. Know. This
I struggle everyday!
You are forcing me
To push you AWAYY!

Push!
Push!
Push!
Push!


I hope they know I wanted to help you
I hope someday they understand
Truly how much I loved you
Truly how much I cared

But it’s okay, we’ll see each other soon.
But it’s okay, we’ll be together soon.

Ladies and gentlemen
We are gathered here today
To celebrate the lost!
To celebrate the hate!

Words unspoken
That is such a shame
They stayed silent
And pushed each other away!

No time left to save it
No time left to fight!
No time left to realize
In a way, both were right.

Track 3: Couch Critic
Length: 2:35
Writer: Seth Arendo

Couch Critic is the third song featured on Rise to Fight's debut album 'We Interrupt This Program'. The song was written by Seth Arendo and was made to air his grievances over the criticism that artists face from people who "haven't accomplished a damn thing."

"It doesn't just have to focus on artists. You can say the same for athletes and other people, its not about who it targets its about who is writing it."
Arendo explained. "This is about those people who sit at home, in their parents basement, and just spend their days trashing other people or making up lies about people just because these people are failures. Eh, this song can explain it better than I."

The song is sung by Leonard Hawkins Jr and Christine Aktor, with a line spoken by lead guitarist Daryl Segura. The 'mighta raped somebody' line is based off a false accusation made against Daryl Segura that circulated around the northeast.

Lyric Key
Leonard Hawkins Jr - Normal

Daryl Segura

I’m a freak
I’m a creep
Hear my show but
Don’t you peep


I’m a bore
I’m a whore
Fuck your words
I don’t listen anymore


Call me what you want
Die up on your hill
I’m not going away
Don’t think I ever will!


Call me a mistake
Message me with hate
Do your damn best
I’ll just retaliate


You like to sit at home
And judge people’s lives
Calling everyone a one
While you give yourself a five


People out here every day
They are bustin their ass
You never had that ethic
You waste of space and gas


You...you...you…

Couch critic!
You couch critic!
You worthless piece of shit
Couch Critic!
Do it all for some hits


Couch Critic!
You attention hog
Couch Critic!
No one will read your blog


Nothing is as sickening
As the personal lies
Rumors to drive traffic
And ruin people’s lives


Yeah he’s alright but I heard he mighta raped somebody

Couch Critic!
You couch critic!

Couch Critic!
You fucking waste of life
Couch Critic!
World will be better when you die!

Couch Critic!

Lyric Key

Christine Aktor - Normal
Christine Aktor - Screaming


I thought that I was better
I thought that you could change
So when you chose her
It all just felt so strange

After all these loving years
So willing to throw it away
You took the last of my soul
And it's driving me insane


INSANE

Welcome to your new life
Where she’s only one
To everybody else
You will be the bastard son


But she understands
Only she knows me
She goes anywhere with me
Not a fucking word!

All you did was bitch
All you did was cry
Can’t do nothing else
Even look me in the eye


I…don’t...need...you
When...I...have...her
I...don’t...want...you
When...I...have...her


Next time you drive
I hope you get pulled over
Cause when she’s with you
You can’t stay fucking sober!


Don’t worry about me
Don’t think I’m gonna stop
Cause the only way I’mma go
Is death by fucking cop!


You chose her
Over your family
But in the end
You still matter to me

What else could I do?
You can’t help someone
When they won’t help themselves

What else could I say?
When you went with her
Every fucking day!


After all I’ve done for you
This is how you act!
You know I love you too
And that’s a fucking fact

But you also know
I won’t be treated a child
So you can fight up until
The papers are filed!


I...don’t...need...you
When...I’m...with...her
I...don’t...want...you
When...I’m...with...her

I...don’t...like...you
When...I’m...with...her
I...can’t...feel...it
When...I’m...with...her

I’m...so...hap..py
When...I’m...with...her
I...feel...no...pain
When...I’m...with...her


Love is not there
At the bottom of a can
She is a but an object
You could still be man


I want you to understand
I tried to stop
But my relationship with her
I can’t just drop

I want you to understand
I wish you’d stay
But I’ll choose her
At the end of the day

Now there’s nothing left for me
Just her and I
Her and I at last
Her and I at last

She’ll even introduce me
To all her friends
I never want to get off this high
I feel like I’m up in the sky
