How do you mend a heart of stone? How do you mend a heart of stone? How do you occupy yourself when you're alone? When you climb up to the top I dare you to look down It was a dead man's ladder You planted in the ground

Smoking weed that I found on the floor Collecting change that I found in my drawer Walking down to the liquor store again Don't know what happened last night Feels like I lost a fight Can't see through my black eye again Give me one for the road To help carry the load Gotta ease my mind And forget the time Don't remember when I left the bar Can't remember where I left my car I think I went too far again Don't know what happened last night Feels like I lost a fight Can't see through my black eye again Give me one for the road To help carry the load Gotta ease my mind And forget the time Smoking weed that I found on the floor Collecting change that I found in my drawer Walking down to the liquor store again Give me one for the road To help carry the load Gotta ease my mind And forget the time

These Waltham punks are so close to being your best friend it’s stupid.

D. Hixon-Visions of The Unexcused



Every now and again, a mess-around, all-around fun local garage band comes to your attention. They might be new or old or some mysterious combination of those. The Shallow End Divers aren’t fly by night, lets get sauced and record it to 7″ toga wearing ’60s frat boys like The mighty Kegstands but to me they carry on that sweet sloppy casual trick. Yes, a beer or six sounds good to me. These Waltham, Massachusetts trouble makers have been carrying on their jam for well over three years, how could these dudes have fell through them KLYAM cracks? Stranger things have happened.

Sometimes garage is like dull and Shaws bakery cookie cutter throwbacky and all that, but sometimes it just isn’t that. With The Shallow End Divers, It AINT, specially on their most recent single game Dead Man’s Ladder/Forget Your Problems, they fall in that fine camp of rock ‘n roll that is deceptively clean and nicely listenable yet also begs to be heard in a more wayward show setting. Been continuously streaming their 2013 EP Melting Skies and I feel like I’m at King Khan and the Shrines or something, all puppeyed and shit, basking in the ole soul. Doing alright, more than alright, thank you.

Shallow End Divers are good people, I bet right. Setting all the imprisoned free.
