All you boys and girls You’re not just diamonds and pearls It’d really be a shame If your death didn’t make a name Everybody sitting in the crowd Raise your voice and fucking loud I know what you’re thinking about So come on now fucking shout Come on hey yeah Here we go now hey Here we go now So give me something that you want Better not fucking take ‘Cause it’s not like I just stay here Not for very long So give me something that you want Better not fucking take ‘Cause it’s not like I just stay here Not for very long

Ocean 04:19
We fear today, a world without change Our real ideals, becoming so pained The memories I lack, that i don't want back 'Cause i'm hating, this time I feel it now coming, I’ll tell you what I want To put out this rogue fire, and catch a free ride home I see it in your eyes, and I know that we’re not close We made it to the ocean To find it out here, today That we must save ourselves We made it to the ocean To find it out here, today That we must save ourselves Pasting up the posters, in the back of our minds Empty head, cheap decorations are forcing us blind And closing the doors, open your legs and pockets You’ll be pleased to find, that happiness will be on sale For a limited time I feel it now coming, I’ll tell you what I want To put out this rogue fire, and catch a free ride home I see it in your eyes, and I know that we’re not close We made it to the ocean To find it out here, today That we must save ourselves We made it to the ocean To find it out here, today That we must save ourselves We made it to the ocean To find it out here, today That we must save ourselves We made it to the ocean To find it out here, today That we must save ourselves We made it to We made it to the ocean The ocean, oh I know The ocean, the ocean

I used to know you But you have changed You used to speak to me Now I feel estranged Couldn't get closer I wanted things But my anger Held back by my heartstrings  Another day In the summer of decay I lost my love, I lost my way Still I lie in bed and blame All the people and the things i could've changed, I’m feeling feeble ‘Cause when the moment it starts to rain I’ll live my summer out again From the backbeat of my heart My love for you, tears me apart I’m trapped inside, sun cannot help I went away to wreck myself Endless summer will it go on Will you love me when I am gone A little hope helps me with pain  A chance to speak to you again It be a long time Before i feel sun shine I know that It’s wrong to try But my reasons That you don't seem to buy There's no explaining So I still live like this Another day In the summer of decay I lost my love, I lost my way Still i lie in bed and blame All the people and the things I could've changed, I’m feeling feeble ‘Cause when the moment it starts to rain I’ll live my summer out again Slow the beating of my heart I'm left to tear myself apart I gotta know just where to start To live my summer without a heart I must start searching so I am found I spent my summer on the ground Open my eyes and step outside The endless summer's a free ride

Revelations 04:45
Words can’t describe The way I feel I’m not trying to hurt you Intentionally I know that it hurts But I try so hard And it’s only getting worse Right from the very start From the start From the start From the start It’s happening again We’re always so close Even when we’re far It’s only with you The closest person I know Tell me anything Everything Now come away Come away I’m waiting on the corner I try to speak your name Who am I to blame It’s always the fucking same I’m holding onto meaning When there’s nothing to hold onto Well I I really love you I really love you Even through all Of this mess I will always hold You so close The memories we’ve shared Are unlike any other I haven’t had time to say this But let’s go Let’s go So tell me why (tell me why) You had to cry (you had to cry) And make me wanna die So tell me why (tell me why) You had to cry (you had to cry) And make me wanna die I’m waiting on the corner I try to speak your name Who am I to blame It’s always the fucking same I’m holding onto meaning When there’s nothing to hold onto Well I I really love you I really love you

about

Recorded in January 2014, its our Debut EP, we sold out the initial CD production run of 100 so we've decided to put it online, thanks to everyone who listens or buys the EP xx

Some awesome Reviews!

"One of the nicer and more palatable indie-rock bands that will swarm your radios this summer" - Ryan Saar (SoundlySounds Blog)

"Loved it, awesome EP" - Matt O Gorman (Drummer from British India)

"Smashing Pumpkins lovechild with The Wombats. Got the sound nailed. (Ocean) Basslines give me life. This one resurrects me." - Cindy Van Souphan (The Infinite Sadness Blog)

"Some really solid grungy rock forming here. Sounds a little like Grouplove. This song (Summer Of Decay) = ear worm!" - Chloe Papas (Journalist/Blogger)
