My second song I completely finished(Fall 2015) and one of the first I preformed live with a full band. Important song, I really held off putting it on the EP's until the last second.

lyrics

Go ahead and try me
The button is on the Back
The Audio Box is all I've got
and the volume still lacks

There are more lights than eyes
that can see them
So these Pitfalls and people
act as cement
grounding my dreams
to dust and dirt
there must be a way out
I must find worth

These stark stained walls
block out my light of day
which leads to resting even though
I still have so much more on my plate
Well resting and relaxing aren't the same thing exactly
because after resting I'm still out of breath

But I've got a six string and a combination lock
that I got to pick If I want to mean anything at all
to me
to me
to me
to me

People try to tear you down
People try to shake your ground
But these pitfalls and people
These potholes and reasons
are all that's driving me

are all that's driving me
are all that's driving me
are all that's driving me
are all that's driving me

Driving me

Overwhelmed and Underdressed
by Walter Mitty and his Makeshift Orchestra

This album is honest. The upfront lyrics that display blunt immaturity with a sense of self aware, and deprecating humor make this album super relate-able. Silent Independence

Nervous Young Man

This record is a mammoth to sit through, so it is great for my 9 hour car drive trecks between college and home. Hits just the right emotions. favorite track is Dreams Fall Hard Silent Independence

Ant Farm
by The Zells

This Pittsburgh band's gloriously messy mash-up of post-punk, garage rock, and shoegaze is snotty enough to be considered plain old punk. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 2, 2022
