Production Location: Irving, Texas
Description:
Broken Promises was recorded in Irving, Texas on gear that barely got the job done — but the message cut clean. This episode called out the national lie of “shared sacrifice,” showing how politicians bailed out Wall Street while gutting services for everyone else. From fare hikes to housing cuts, Firebat #006 was a one-person warning shot that the austerity wave wasn’t accidental — it was engineered.
Commentary:
I made this on a box that fought me every step of the way. It wasn’t slick. It wasn’t funded. But it was honest. Broken Promises is me refusing to shut up while the media told us to be grateful for crumbs. The rich made record profits while the rest of us faced evictions and layoffs. This is proof that even with shit equipment in suburban Texas, you can call bullshit on power.
