Harbour Ties by Anti-Everything
We grew up in the shadow of the city of Port-of-Spain. As we progressed through our various journeys in life, it seemed like the concept of ports and harbours followed us.
They represent the logistical hubs of exchange โ exchange of good, ideas, and cultures. On one end, they are departure points and at the other they are arrival points โ representing the ideas of travel, journey, and taking on new challenges. They are symbols of labour, struggle, and the creativity, ingenuity and perseverance of the collective human spirit.
For this new short EP, we decided to explore these themes and pay homage to the ports and harbours โ both literal and metaphorical โ that shaped our lives. We also chose to take on a musical approach based on our hardcore influences and roots.
Harbour Ties is a special record for us, and we hope that you enjoy listening to it, as much as we enjoyed making it. It is not only our first hardcore record, but also it is our first set of material fully recorded and produced outside of Trinidad, and our first record pressed on vinyl.
We thank you for taking the time to share this project with us, and hope that these songs and words can have some meaning to you.
Peace, Love, and Anarchy,
Anti-Everything
