Turned Against (CHECK OUT OUR DEMOS and OUR CAUSE)





Aug 18 2008 9:15 PM

Thank you for friending Turned Against!! check out our demos, and blogs for updates on the double EP release, including a 5 song full band EP, and an acoustic EP from us. This is for the people that have been beaten down and torn apart in life and hit their bottom and for the people that are about to hit that bottom. This is for the people that feel so alone inside, crying themselves to sleep at night not knowing where to turn. This is for the people who's so called friends turned away, leaving them to take matters into their own hands.

This is bigger than the band, this is everyone joining together to tell their story, to help someone that is too afraid to do the same, or just don't really know what to think or feel. This is so that someone whether it's you or me, can reach out to someone in need and help them feel not so alone. This is Turned Against

"It's the start of the new movement, the story within, unique, yet at the same time similar. Rely only on yourself this time, and connect to others through pain and happiness. And when you remember the days when you hit your bottom, and everyone you knew turned against you, tell your story to another, break the cycle, and together we can get through. Maybe your going through struggles now, maybe your about to hit that bottom and you don't know it yet, you feel alone and abandoned. This is my story, my feelings, my endless journey, past, present, future and dreams. Whether its through song, paintings, an act, its your story, and it could help another" - Matt

That footage of Dr. Octopus is incredible from Thailand!! Its awesome to see how huge ska is over there and how big you guys got overseas. I thought you guys must have been still over there, sad to see that it's all over. Ska isnt dead over here. Theres gonna be a huge ska gig at the Coolangatta Hotel on June 28th with Foghorn Leghorn, BLowhard, Suspect 7 and Rubix Cuba. Anyone from the Gold Coast or Brisbane who sees this Myspace should come out and show support!!

As I CLOSE MY Eyes
By Sonia F Stevens ©2008

As I CLOSE MY Eyes O how I realise it is for you that I breathe and stay alive.
In a warm and musky room there is a chance to feel you once to feel you once more there is the chance to love you once more.
There in the air which I breathe I feel your warmth of you within my soul
Welcome back my dream to become true.
Every tear drop, every smile, reminds me of you
I can breathe you in. You are in my heart, you are everywhere were I go.
As I CLOSE MY Eyes O how I realise it is for you that I breathe and stay alive.
You are in every smile and every tear drop that is within my soul.
It is you that keeps me alive.
It is the spirit of you that is within me.
Only in what we see it is between you and me.
Time is for us as you are in everything I am and everything I do.
As I CLOSE MY Eyes O how I realise it is for you that I breathe and stay alive.
There is no turning away, as others play games when we are not there for are knowing that we are in each other soul
For which they will never have control.
You are in every smile and every tear drop that is within my soul.
It is you that keeps me alive.
As I Close my eyes. O how I realise I is for you that I breathe and stay alive. You are in every smile, every tear that is within my soul. Every note I feel, is so dam real. It is you that I breathe and stay alive.
As I CLOSE MY Eyes O how I realise it is for you that I breathe and stay alive.
It is now when the time is short and I have found that I am caught.
That they only thing that means so much, are the real music in our combined souls.
The other’s who played their games of mind.
Never thought that we would bind.
It is you that has kept me alive.
It is you now that I die in pride.
As I CLOSE MY Eyes O how I realise it is for you that I breathed and stay alive.

There's a shortage of good music in the world...always has been. It really sucks. However, as good as you guys were, maybe separately there will be two good bands created from one. More good music. (I rarely see silver lining.)

May 20 2008 6:02 AM

I was waiting for a second Dr. Oc album and I got a message saying that you are breaking up.... That is totally gay. I listened to TheCityShakeUp and Panther DLX, Neither one is half as good as Dr Oc. (sorry to say.) I can't help it if I'm a big ska fan.
