It is normally at this point where you start reading some waffle that tries to convince you that this band is the “next big thing”. Dead world leaders are four young men playing what they want to hear, with passion. They are not trying to escape any genuine hardship but are instead playing to convey their disappointment and disillusion with the world that’s presented to them.
The array songs represent an attitude against modern idealistic thinking and question the current state of affairs we all find ourselves in. Everything from abandonment, modern living, politics, doubt, confusion, lost, hurt are all covered insightfully. However, this not a band of self indulgent emo kids looking for sympathy, far from it. This is about everyone knowing that anyone can escape their problems and that music provides an outlet for the frustrations we all live with. Its about shaking hands with people who find themselves caught in a life they can't get their head 'round and reminding you of what is and isn’t important in life.
This is music for those folk who know that decisions and actions in life are often covered up with "appropriate" or "acceptable", when actually we recognise that the world on display exhibits so much that can only be described as wrong. We could all do with questioning what we have in us and what's happening around us. These lads are passionate about digging up life's hidden truths to a background of ambitious and epic sounds. Not only do they thrive on creating music, more so, they flourish in spreading their word to others.
This is not a band for “the people”, but one that gets people, facing the same struggles and dilemmas as we all do in an age of stress, worry and self doubt.
Our two singles "The Start Of The End Begins" / "Still I Think What I Think" and "Vitamins" are also available to download from ITUNES.
