A post about songs for quitting your job, and no mention of the D.C.-based Crownhate Ruin’s “Ride Your Ride”? Tsk tsk.

Coincidentally, while searching for the lyrics online, one of the first things to pop up on Google was a 1999 Washington City Paper article about the band. The lede from that article: “Amid a barbed guitar burnout and a slow, deliberate rhythm, the Crownhate Ruin’s Joseph McRedmond shreds a lung screaming the first line to his band’s debut, Until the Eagle Grins: ‘I’ve had more last days than anyone I know.’”

Hopefully it was pointed out to someone at the time, but, uh…that wasn’t Joe McRedmond singing. It was bass player Fred Erskine.
