Jacksonville Beach, FL-based new wave/post punk project TUFF TURF, the brainchild of former JE double F / CUT IT OUT member Jeff Richie has dropped his new single “Speed Demon“.
Formed in the mid-2010’s in Southern New Jersey, TUFF TURF has become a unique voice in the ever-growing synthwave scene, removing much of the neon-video-game-nostalgia in favor of a more masculine, brooding and punk sonic and visual landscape. TUFF TURF currently resides in Jax Beach, FL.
The track b/w “Wrong Thing” is out now via American Scream Records. Get it here and take a listen below.
TUFF TURF “Speed Demon” Lyrics:
A fine line, no, I hate the hesitation,
A speed demon with the pedal to the ground,
Everybody’s got their fears and reservations,
Everybody’s got someone who let them down,
I don’t owe anyone an explanation,
All the losers out blaming someone else,
I laugh in the face of problems that you’re facing,
A speed demon, a snake bite I never felt,
Speed demon, yeah, I got my cobra clutched,
Keep dreamin’, yeah, there’s no one watchin’ over us,
Keep believin’ you’ll be saved by the lie.
Dead.
A fine line between a heart that turns to hateful,
It’s a poison with the power to take you down,
Wonder why you lose? Your life is so disgraceful,
A speed demon with the pedal to the ground,
I don’t want or need congratulations,
Imake the rules and I always knew the score,
I laugh in the face of problems that you’re facing,
A speed demon with a pedal to the floor,
