Hrsta
Hrsta (stylized as HṚṢṬA) (/ˈhɜːrʃtə/; Sanskrit हृष्ट [ɦr̩ʂʈa]) is a Montreal post-rock band that records on Constellation Records. The band's leader, Mike Moya (guitar and voice), was also one of the founding members of Godspeed You! Black Emperor. Hrsta's sound has been compared to that of Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra and Set Fire to Flames, owing to Mike Moya's unique contributions to each. Hrsta, however, differs from these previous projects in that it features Moya as a vocalist.
The other members of the band (as of the last album) are: Harris Newman, Eric Craven and Brooke Crouser. Lisa Gamble also Joined in 2007 and Nick Kuepfer in 2009.
Hrsta is currently signed to Constellation Records, where they have released Stem Stem in Electro, and also Ghosts Will Come And Kiss Our Eyes, released in the fall of 2007.

A Matter Of Rights
by: ResetShe lived silently in a house near the countryside
her parents knew that it was better there
and just like every week she'd go to town that second day
she didn't know that he'd be waiting there
he stole the one thing that she kept untouched so long
stealing her virginity just made him feel so strong
and all the stupid things he'd done so many times
no one can forgive him cause it's crime
forcing himself into her she tries to scream for help
there's no one close enough to hear her cry
at the time she didn't think of what was coming next
but she was stuck with that unwanted child
her country knew about it
but didn't care about her life
their stupid right wing values
got her life turned upside down
"you've got yourself in this mess
the kid is now part of your life!"
"Tell me would you say the same thing
if our roles were switched around?"
begging for abortion her human rights are still denied
the child inside her wasn't supposed to be there
the right wing says:
it's the child or death yeah
