lyrics

Warm, humid mountains tops
'sky islands'. Set adrift
among the drier lowlands
a refuge for many rainforest species
that would not otherwise survive
Du toit's torrent frog
once found in mount elgon kenya
ancient amphibian family
diverged during cretaceous
plesiosaurs still swam
pterosaurs still flew
dinosaurs roamed

thundering scowl
slippery rocks
rapid flow gouge
t shape fingertips
special adaptation
clinging to the banks
for 70 million years
logging and agriculture
finally washed them away

holding fast
deluge of rain
sawblades lean
loggers slash
torrents of pain
Frogectomy

about

Extinction Louisville, Colorado

Extinction is not a band that formed or began; it is a continuation in a long trail of smoldering ruin dragging behind the feet of homo sapiens. We play on instruments made of felled trees, extracted metals and petroleum, and assembled by the impoverished among our species. Everyone is human, everyone is civilization, everyone consumes. We are extinction.
