PEST by regurgitator

Boxed on in. Circle on around. All caught up in the crises of crises like rats on an escalator maze. Up and down… down and up….everyday’s drudgery looped ad nauseam. Stupors revving up the alienation in a recycled time trial. Crushed into a cube of social wreckage. Regurgitator square the equation and break on out with lastest vid PEST - from the new album INVADER. Out now through ABC Music/Valve Records.

"We are all born to run the wheel. Work for the man… Do this… Do that … blah blah blah.
Should we question what the fuck this is all about? What’s your part in it?
What we can we do to step outside of it to maintain our own sense of sanity in a turbulent sea of insanity. Put your nose to the grind stone and slave, slave, slave." - Ben

Dear friends, fans, and music loving folk - we look forward to seeing you all on these upcoming shows. You are our all and everything and we respect you immensely, never taking you for granted. You have been nothing but the best and we love you dearly for your support and energy.

With the invasive tour landing this week, we announce the list of conditions for this imminent action.

ONE - this will be our ONLY TOUR for the year of 2024. Do not miss this!
Upon completion of this action we are planning to take an extended break.
We have endured a non-stop pace over this past couple of years both in touring and working on this latest album. After 30 years of touring and recording it is time to clear our heads a bit.

TWO - we have prepared in advance a scorching 80 minute plus set covering the bulk of our catalogue of hits - from those first EPs in late '94 through Tu-Plang, UNIT etc… to a healthy dose of our most loved INVADER. Here we go… hold on tight for a propulsively blistering night!

THREE - we are 200% up for FUN! 100% giving. 100% taking. Perfect mutual balance!

FOUR - we have a brand new live member - Sarah Lim - bringing the keytar and some outrageous shredding to pack some extra laser precision to our rocketing bowl of punch.

From the album - INVADER - occurring now!
through ABC Music / Valve Records

Lyrics

You make the laws
and you break all the rules
Control freak nothing better to do
You’re a pest
You’re a pest x 3

9 to 5 it’s a daily grind
Take up my life you’re taking up my time
You’re a pest
You’re a pest x3

Here I am chained upon the wheel of pain
And I’m grinding day to day for another’s gain
Here I am, sailing on this ship of fools
Show me the way
I don’t wanna choose
Pest
Pest

Consume crap as I pay me taxes
Stare at my screen now I am distracted, a pest
Im a pest x3
Everyday without sight or direction
No sign of love and affection
A pest
I’m a pest x3

Here I am chained upon the wheel of pain
And I’m grinding day to day for another’s gain
Here I am, sailing on this ship of fools
Show me the way
I don’t wanna choose
Pest
Pest

Like Fleetwood Mac say
Go your own way
You got nothing, nothing to prove
It’s got nothing to do with you
