No Motiv just shared a new recording of the nearly 30-year old "Never Ending Cloudy Day," originally on their Cynical (1996) album, releasing the new version on major streaming platforms (courtesy of Wiretap Records).

Jeremy Palaszewski (vocals, guitar) gives some perspective"

This song is pretty old. I think it was about 1995 or so. I just remember there was a lot of homophobia growing up around my hometown. Friends and older brothers, even dads were always calling people homos and f*gs in a derogatory way. My brother was gay, so it was very abrasive for me to hear people talk so shallow and cheaply about people they don’t even know. I guess I just got sick of hearing talk like that, so naturally, I wrote a song about someone coming out of the closet. Who cares if anyone is gay anyways? Shouldn’t even matter or be an issue when it comes to common decency and friendship.

Wiretap Records also shares that Decent Criminal, who released Bliss in 2019 on the label, has ceased operation.
