lyrics
It started when I was 6
A kiss on the cheek and a final glimpse and you went away
But you never did say
That by the time, I was 12
You would still not be around to heal the pain
Could I have made you stay?
So at 18, I lost my mind
Went barreling down the 405, oh god
I didn’t want to face
The fact I’d sit at 24,
Locked behind my bedroom door, filled with hate
And I still can’t shake
Oh, this sinking feeling
You made a mess of man out of me
Oh, when you walked away,
That day at the grand parade
That day at the grand parade
I can’t even describe the way it feels
To be left behind, and spin my wheels
After all this time, it’d be surreal
To have you back in my life, shit
This is the way I feel
This is the way I feel
This is the way I feel
This is the way I feel
A kiss on the cheek and a final glimpse and you went away
But you never did say
That by the time, I was 12
You would still not be around to heal the pain
Could I have made you stay?
So at 18, I lost my mind
Went barreling down the 405, oh god
I didn’t want to face
The fact I’d sit at 24,
Locked behind my bedroom door, filled with hate
And I still can’t shake
Oh, this sinking feeling
You made a mess of man out of me
Oh, when you walked away,
That day at the grand parade
That day at the grand parade
I can’t even describe the way it feels
To be left behind, and spin my wheels
After all this time, it’d be surreal
To have you back in my life, shit
This is the way I feel
This is the way I feel
This is the way I feel
This is the way I feel

-
We have played with these guys more than anyone else... and for good reason! Shoegazy, pop infused jams with soft, smooth and meaningful lyrics over top. So what are you waiting for, check it out!

My brothers band. Post-punk at its finest. I don't even listen to this genre but this record is just solid. They tour across North America too so they are most likely in your town soon

I can't fully put my finger on it, but there's something in this album that makes me think of the Cramps on one hand and the Gorillaz on the other, not sure what though. I do love the direction this is headed in. A few of these are a bop like nobody seems to understand. I feel like it's relevant for how a lot of people feel these days

An easy-to-love combination of emo and jangle pop, the first full album from Spirit Night in eight years feels bathed in a golden glow.

Spring Rites
by Tannhauser OrchestraBright, gorgeous, bashing songs from these Belgian shoegazers that never lose track of melody amidst the waves of distortion.

Flower Of Life [LP]
by Taleen Kali"Flower Of Life" yanks riot grrrl south through the unmistakable garage psych sound indispensable to the last 20-odd years of rock music out of Los Angeles.
