{"product_id":"bains-lee-iii-youth-detention-blk-vinyl-lp-63445775531","title":"Lee III Bains - Youth Detention [LP]","description":"\u003cp\u003eRecorded in Nashville, Tennessee at Battletapes with engineer Jeremy Ferguson and producer Tim Kerr, Lee Bains III \u0026amp; The Glory Fires' Youth Detention captures the band in raw form. Each song was cut live to tape, with the four performing in the same room without headphones or baffling. The result is thoroughly human, Lynn Bridges' mix retaining the band's live energy and looseness at the expense of a few out of tune strings. The Glory Fires music draws deeply from punk, but also soul, power pop, country, and gospel. Its equal parts careful curation and geographic inheritance. Its the sound of my place, says Bains. I want to know it. I want to argue with it. I dont want to be a band from anywhere that could be doing anything. For me, thats what punk is about figuring out who I am and how to be the best version of myself. I cant do that by pretending to be something Im not. The songs are deeply rooted in Bains experience of his hometown, Birmingham, AL. Youth Detention depicts a Southern city in the decades surrounding the turn-of-the-millennium: in the throes of white flight, urban disinvestment, racial tension, class struggle, gentrification, gender policing, homophobia, xenophobia, religious fervor, deindustrialization, and economic upheaval. The lyrics could ring true anywhere, though. The South exists in the world and, like the South, the world is increasingly beholden to many of these same tensions and forces. The songs on Youth Detention are meant as small acts of resistance to those systems. Documenting minor moments the refusal to sit quietly through a display of bigotry, the act of quieting down and listening to somebody's struggle, sticking up for friends targeted for their difference that, hopefully, serve as the beginnings of a more profound awakening.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBreaking It Down! 3:10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSweet Disorder! 2:54\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGood Old Boy 1:40\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack ; White Boys 3:44\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhitewash 3:55\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnderneath the Sheets of White Noise 2:58\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Heard God! 3:40\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrooked Letters 6:34\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Can Change! 3:32 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe City Walls 2:22 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHad to Laugh 3:49 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNail My Feet Down to the Southside of Town 4:28 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTongues of Flame! 1:36 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrying to Ride 3:21 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Picture of a Man 3:54 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommencement Address for the Deindustrialized Dispersion 2:36 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSave My Life!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"503","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":50786514436392,"sku":"63445775531","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/3833\/7576\/files\/3649492.jpg?v=1763991485","url":"https:\/\/waterloorecords.com\/products\/bains-lee-iii-youth-detention-blk-vinyl-lp-63445775531","provider":"Waterloo Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
