about

HARDCORE ALTERNATIVE ROCK FROM LONDON'S DIY STALWARTS

The much anticipated 2nd part of "The Rising Tide", as the band explode in a furious progressive development which is confident, ambitious and expressive. After almost self-combusting both internally and externally in creating part 1, the band used part 2 as the start of the climb back and fight back and in the process have created their most and their most ambitious record to date. The time is now.

"Good isn't a word to be wheeled out when magnificent is still available. Djevara, right here, right now, are magnificent."
- UNPEELED.NET

"their power, their emotion, the way they turn their limitations into a great big positive and that sum of the whole does make Djevara, their new album and everything that they stand for, absolutely vital. This is a brave honest refreshing committed album, a raw album, a very ambitious album, and ultimately... a triumph of an album. Few would have the guts to even try it." - ORGAN 'THING OF THE DAY' " - ORGAN ART (awarded "THING OF THE DAY")

"powerful as all Hell...'Hear No Evil' is chaotic hardcore that's as emotionally charged as it is socially aware, with particular impact from an account of domestic violence in 'The Tort Of False Light'."
ROCK SOUND

"brilliantly produced, well constructed and mature examples of an approach to songwriting which owes as much to Fugazi, At The Drive-In and Million Dead as it does to the aforementioned Rage... the arrangements [are] dynamic and varied [and] they also know how to produce a lightning rod of a riff as well when such a moment is called for, and how to build their compositions to powerful crescendos. Djevara have already achieved an impressive amount off their own backs; 'Hear No Evil' is testament to that"
SUBBA CULTCHA

"Musically the Brit trio have produced a record which is as powerful as the lyrical sentiments it promotes...
A heartfelt and powerful release, effectively delivering the band's message and leaving you with more to think about than just six excellent slabs of heavy duty rock you can get lost in." 12/13
- ROOM THIRTEEN

"Djevara are a kick ass progressive HC band that really do deliver the goods - 9/10"
- STREETVOICE UK

Track Name: Most Of The People, Most Of The Time
Most of the people, Most of the time:
"We'll wait
'cos waiting's what we do
We'll wait
'cos waiting's seen us through
So far
So good."

So sick of waiting.
So fucking sick.

No.

You'll wait, you'll wait, for someone else to set you free
You'll wait, you'll wait, but no-one else will set you free

See I crawl, and beg
And lap, and dance
And fawn, and suck
Yet listen to what they're telling me

"Calm down. Calm down." (They're telling me)
"Calm down."

You ask yourself "why set myself to fail when I can just stow away?"
(I understand...) You're scared... whisper it
(I understand...) You're scared... whisper it

But who's left to say "This isn't right"?
Get me a witness, call me a witness

Come here, stand up , let's finish what we started
Let's remember the departed as we gather strength
From victories past
Come here, stand up, let's finish what we started
Let's honour those who've parted, who live on
In memories cast
In deeds that last
Remember:

"Free at last"

This African son can still remember the burn
Of an African sun in a forgotten land
This is The Third World, could be another world
Under an African sun in a forgotten land

But who's left to say "This isn't right"?
Get me a witness, call me a witness

The light in your eyes has faded with the dulling ache of compromise but one day we'll say:
"This is where we were, this what we saw
This is who we were, this is what we heard":
Will you regret it?

We'll ask "What did we do?"

The time is...
NOW.

How do you even know that you're alive?

I've never felt this much alive... (x3) with this devotion
I've never felt this much alive... (x3) with this emotion
Sometimes you've got to shout it out

Sometimes you've got to... (the time is...)

Otherwise you'll see what we'll become
You'll see what we'll become
See what we'll become
We've got to keep the dream alive

I've never felt so much alive
Am I alone like this?
Am I afraid of this?
Am I a fool to feel this?
Am I alone?

So now you see
It's up to us

I've never felt so much alive
