How do you sell this line?

This local band has a line that goes "Here's a forecast you can trust/ you're gonna weep until your noserings rust," and the singer almost makes it work.

Hm. Considering that nose-rings are typically made of surgical stainless steel, which has a pretty high resistance to corrosion, it seems that the singer predicts that the jewelry-bedecked object of the song will be crying for a very, very long time.

They almost make it work. I almost liked it. It's a little too dense. They turn away from the meteorological metaphor a little too quickly. Instead of "you're gonna weep", they could say something about "tears like rain" or some carp like that. A little cliched, but it would enhance the continuity of the line.

Can I guess what kind of music this is? Is is hyphenated-hardcore?

The second line is too long. Oh, and is this a terrible emo/punk band with a name like "The Quick Fixes"?

It really makes my nose itch to be honest. I really wouldn't enjoy the feeling of tears actually running down that part of my nose. Especially if it's one of those cow-like nose rings.

Is the subject of this song then without appendages of any kind that might be used to wipe away tears? Scorned by a weatherman? That's hot. I'm going to Craigslist to try to set up a 'casual encounter' with these folks right now.
