Punk Sister 04:16
I don't have a sister I don't know what it's like To miss her She's never been away She's never tried to pray She's never filled her tank She's never felt ashamed She's never on her phone Doesn't worry 'bout going broke She never bites her tongue Cause she's never had one I don't have a sister I don't know what it's like To miss her My sister don't punch with a loose fist My sister don't ease off her tight grip Won't give you a kiss My sister don't smile when she's so pissed My sister won't give you a kiss cause she doesn't exist I don't have a sister I don't know what it's like To miss her She never talks to God And she doesn't get lost She's never wondering If it's worth the cost She doesn't start a fight at the club Beat the dead horse til ur fed up She'll never change your mind And you'll never change hers cause she's completely made up I don't have a sister I don't know what it's like To miss her Punk Sister

about

Songwriter, producer, and recording artist Lindenfield has released his newest album “Punk Family,” a tribute to members, real and imaginary, of his immediate family.

The idea of a family-focused punk record itself might feel contradictory— most punk records (including the 70s punk that inspired this record) focus on youthful rebellion and political anti-establishment.). But, says Lindenfield, “When I think about spending time with my family, I plan on feeling angsty around them and having a lot of fun. Punk was the genre that mirrored my family experience the best.”

And like contemporary and classic punk records, “Punk Family” is made of short, fast-paced songs with minimal production— think crunchy guitars, crashing drums, tough-guy vocals. The album’s discernable influences range from minimalist Ramones-esque classic punk in Punk Dad to the disco-punk track Punk Brother Ronny, drawing from The Clash and Talking Heads, to the more modern anthem Punk Sister, reminiscent of Arcade Fire.

Punk Family’s lyrics are straightforward and silly, full of short one-syllable rhymes (in punk lyric tradition). They explore each family member’s character traits and habits— from his mom’s speech habits down to the lentils his brother cooks for dinner. While highlighting both the nerdy and badass about each family member, the songs glibly illustrate each person into an angsty punk hero.
