Yernest Boystein (Yer Boy, YB, Hubba Hubba) solo song from Nick “Watching Yew” Yernest Boystein (Yer Boy, YB, Hubba Hubba) Lyrics: Watching you on the Internet Like a cuckold Never for me Our constant struggle I can't control you Nor should I ever You have a new sugar daddy Car seats with leather (Chorus) If I could help myself fI'd sever my hand at the thought It's all you I want (you know it's true) Baby I'll watch you with other men for you It hurts to see Yet I still prey On refreshing tabs hallucinate  Matty sent me a screenshot Of whatcha been sayin Parading around New pawns yer playin’ (Chorus) If I could help myself fI'd sever my hand at the thought It's all you I want (you know it's true) Baby I'll watch you with other men for you

who's that blonde kid? he looks like a bitch

Nick was strolling along the Hudson River when he saw a wicker basket floating in the distance. He walked into the water and there he found baby Ky Boi smoking a menthol L&M in the basket. Nick took the child home, cleaned him up and taught him how to play bass.

Semiotics - For How Review

Photography: Jersey Boy Photo Semiotics has become one of The Hook's most recent featured local bands - from New Brunswick, NJ the DIY group is constantly busy and on the move, taking self-made to levels of extraordinary. Because we love Semiotics so much, we visited and listened to their most recent EP! For How was released on Halloween in 2015, and it sports six tracks to create Semiotics’ most focused, accomplished, and emotional work to date. In comparison to their 2014 debut EP, Simple Requests, For How has taken Semiotics and their mission to a whole new level. I would most definitely say that For How takes what listeners loved about Simple Requests and transforms them into a more mature, better paced and collected moment of sound. For How is propelled by the dual vocals of Seth Blissenbach and Nick Rapon. I was most impressed by the maturity of not only the lyrical content, but also the range and progressing alt-rock sound that comes through on each track. Not to mention how powerful and cathartic the instrumentals are. From guitar (Nick and Seth, still) to the consistent bass rhythm (Kyle “KyBoi” O’Connor), and the authoritative and capable drums (Kenny Kabigting) – each track is an exemplary piece of Semiotics’ hard work. In comparison to the quietude of Simple Requests, For How uses each track like an emotional punching bag in instrumental technique. While the tracks on For How are all drastically different, it is easy to feel their focus and drive. They support one another without relying on one another. My favorite track off of the EP is most definitely “Cheers Me Proper,” which the band recently put out a music video for. This track speaks for me in ways that encompass what the rest of the EP is also talking about. Self-Discrepancy, apathy, loving someone, being alone – and maybe I am empathetic with these ideals because I share them, because it seems that most of us feel that way. Maybe what I love about Semiotics and For How is that in these joyous instrumentals and up-front, honest lyrics I am resonating. I am reverbing in the moment with each beat, each momentum – the EP is the tide I’ve been wanting to be swept away in. Check out the track-list below! Track List: 1. Diy Death Machine 2. Sorry, Bruh 3. Cheers Me Proper 4. M. Connolly 5. Violent In Your Sleep 6. I've Known You Since I Was A Kid Needless to say, sometimes you find music that you need to find – and For How is the music I needed to find. Semiotics the band I wanted to be into, can continue to be into. On that note, I will leave you with this line from "Cheers Me Proper," my hopes and fulfillment from this EP - from (and for) Semiotics, “I’m not half the person I plan to become, and I’ll never stop holding my arms up for better.” Rating: 9/10 The album is available for purchase on Bandcamp and iTunes!
