Sounds Like
It's indie. It's rock. It's shoegaze. It's pop. It's fueled by liquor and nothing to lose. It's our heartbeat. It's something we do well. It sounds like we listen to alot of Oasis, Stone Roses, and Ride. It sounds a bit less British than you might be thinking right now. It is not a "New York" sound. It is not alternative. It is not 80s-driven. It is not anything but what it is.
Transporting listeners to a place where melody reigns, cultures clash and combine, and feedback fills the sky, The GoStation is a state of mind as much as a band. Hailing from New York City, this five-piece force is on a musical mission to restore rock to its rightful place: the hearts and minds of the people.
Embracing the art of the anthem, The GoStation have willfully eschewed the structureless noise of many of their contemporaries, opting instead for epic compositions marked by masterful guitar interplay, a steady rhythmic punch, and huge sing-along choruses. Calling to mind everyone from Oasis to The Strokes by way of U2, the band are far more concerned with reviving the classic art of songwriting than becoming the darlings of any fickle scene.
The GoStation fired the first shot from their arsenal with the release of their debut EP, Quiet Zone. The disc's five songs received major support from outlets as diverse as Seattle's KEXP, NYC's 92.3 K-Rock and Q104.3, XM and Sirius satellite radio, and WOXY.com. Performances at CMJ and SXSW followed, along with in-studio appearances, a spate of rapturous reviews, and shows with bands including The Dears, Young Love, Diamond Nights, White Rabbits, Sons & Daughters, The Bravery, The Mooney Suzuki, Locksley, and Elefant.
But the EP was just a teaser for the real fireworks: the first full-length album from The GoStation, Passion Before Function. To bring this long-awaited project to life, the band once again teamed up with producer/engineer Bill Racine (Rogue Wave, The Flaming Lips, Phantom Planet) to record amidst the cacophony and hysteria of their native metropolis.
Over a year in the making, the album finally brings the sounds that have been living in our heroes' heads to full, sparkling life.
If you've been waiting for something, anything, to save you from the vagaries of daily existence, this is your chance to escape - even for a little while. And it really couldn't be simpler.
Just press play, and let the music do the rest.

I am having an idea, I haven’t figured it all yet, but it involves an attempt to bridge gaps and work On humanities problems with humanitarian methods, My idea is this, We get diverse bands together I mean put some unlikely groups together to make awesome songs together to, promote humanitarian solutions to humanities problems. Like saving the rain force. Putting human rights first and stuff like that like what I just wrote about Looking for the change , We could get Hip Hop artists together with rock and roll stars to put songs like that as an example. And donate a portion of the proceeds to charities or what ever, It would be entirely up to the bands I bet if the bands on my friends list alone did this, We would all be amazed at the great things that could happen! Think it over dear friends love and blessings to you!!

Is there someone there? Is there someone there? Come talk to us tonight. We’re asking for the dead to speak, It’s only us . . .my wife and me. Come tell us how you died.
The oracle moved about the board A figure-eight reply. The oracle started slowing down, then stopped . . . above the Y.
Tell us more, tell us more, what brought you here to me? Tell us how you died tonight. Tell us when you died tonight. Tell us what brings you here tonight. Keep spelling it for me.
The figure eight continues and around the board it moves. It’s slowing down, it’s slowing down. Come, spirit, talk to me right now, Tell us tonight, because we want to know . . Then the oracle stopped on the letter O.
You’re coming in so very clear, Now tell us why you’re roaming here, on this dark and stormy night. Speak to me, speak to me, Travel through this board to me. Tell us why you sleep tonight beneath your resting tomb. Speak to me, speak to me, speak to me now. Then the oracle stopped on the U.
Y-O-U, Y-O-U, this isn’t making sense. You spelled out, YOU is this what you meant to do? Then the oracle stopped on YES.

£leTriKa sounds completely different from any Metal band you have ever heard. The Brazilian rhythms and the Portuguese language added to the songs makes its style unique, giving birth to a new kind of Metal. If you are really looking for something new about Metal, you should check £leTriKa out!

Momma he took one look at me with those eyes of his, And he smiled and walked right into My heart and stole my heart, And now he’s so divine, he is strength and his courage, are so Raw so beautiful like when the mountains meet the sky, Yet when he’s gentle he,, He is like the clouds floating by, and I know why they he is made In the image of God because, he is so divine to me, And I know, we belong by his side, Not separate not lower nor above but beside this, divine Being we call man, When he first comes to be, he captures our hearts and dwells there in our love, In his first steps Of life you see why he’s a miracle to me, And when he grows into a boy he makes us laugh makes Us cry his mischief never ends and yet somehow, it makes us smile makes us laugh awhile And then when he’s grown and turns into a man, There he goes again taking steps in our hearts And we give our hearts to him because we know where he belongs , Beside us in ours hearts Bathed in our love at all times, I stand in awe of his masculine beauty they call it handsome I know, but ahh he’s so divine to Me. And I love, the masculinity of man! Love and blessings to the divine masculine!!
