Michael McDermott's rock n' roll brims with the kind of well-honed style and wisdom that can only come from a career on the road and a pedigree in the studio. Effortlessly blending natural folk sensibility, pop hooks, and honest rock, McDermott's music is as much for the outcast as the congregation. It's an exploration of the dark corners of life's journey that resonate middle class truths through the passionate filter of a kid that grew up on Chicago's Irish South Side.

WHAT IN THE WORLD.....PLEASE SHARE. You’re looking like a car wreck Dealing with a stacked deck Peter’s robbing Paul and they’re Drinking with your rent check It’s a new world order Walls along the border Kids in cages Executive orders Welfare for billionaires People hungry everywhere Stop and frisk, Socialist You ain’t goin’ anywhere I think it’s time we take a Good look in the mirror What in the world... is happening here? There’s a white flag, dime bag So-Co Day Drag Effigies and Refugees A Journalistic Toe Tag Drunk on tragedy Outrage and blasphemy Dollar short, War Report The madness and the malady Bullets in a black dress Everything is such a mess It’s kinda like white noise James Joyce, distress I can hear the horses of Paul Revere What in the world... is happening here? I say, Hey!Hey! Whaddaya say? I’m tired of hearing everything will be ok I say, Hey! Hey! Whaddaya Say? Dark days coming for the U.S.A. You got your Alt-Right, street fight Fake news website Freedom without liberty Man, it doesn’t sit right Clean Coal fires, Climate Change deniers Head full of gasoline…fistful of fire New low, Jim Crow Plead the 5th, you don’t know It’s not too hard to see The President’s a criminal Iron Eyes Cody, wipe away your tear What in the world is happening here? Be all that you can never be You can’t fight what you can’t see Maybe it’s the government Or just your ADHD Oxy and Adderall The redneck and the radical Good versus evil These days, it’s almost biblical A world full of strangers Echo chambers Lobbyists and rattlesnakes The truth here is in danger Treachery and treason Fictions of fear What in the world... is happening here? I say, Hey! Hey! Whaddaya say? I’m tired of hearing everything will be O.K. I say, Hey!Hey! Whaddaya say? Dark days coming for the U.S.A. You got your hard luck White class Low class-Badass Knockaround guy Who don’t give a rats ass Affiliated, Castrated Migrated, Segregated Subterranean Neo Nazi White trash Wages in a flatline Coughing in a coal mine Gaslit, Half-wit It feels like we’re out of time Senators, Congressmen Lend me your ear What in the world... is happening here? I say, Hey! Hey! Whaddaya say? I’m tired of hearing everything will be O.K. I say, Hey! Hey! Whaddaya say? Dark days coming for the U.S.A. I say, Hey! Hey! Whaddaya say?
