This War 03:09
Just another wasted Sunday afternoon Retreat into separate rooms This sinking feeling weighs me down I just surrender to the ground Slam the door against me and there go all my plans To your demands You’ll make me pay for all my crimes I know because we’ve been here a million times I can pretend anymore I can’t defend you anymore I can’t keep fighting fighting fighting this war Just another wasted Sunday afternoon We have been here a million times There’s still a part of me That remembers living in harmony We’re not those people anymore And I suspect we never were I can pretend anymore I can’t defend you anymore I can’t keep fighting fighting fighting this war

Hate It Here 03:42
This isn’t how you said it would be When we started this journey together Was a time when all I could see Was a road that stretched on forever I think I hate it here At some point we reached our destination Guess I thought we were headed somewhere else What I’d hoped was a permanent vacation Was just a stop on the highway to hell I think I hate it here Stay if you want but I know that I’m leaving Yeah I know that I’m leaving (you can stay here if you want) x3 Say what you want but I can’t stop believing Yeah I know that I’m leaving (don’t stop believing) I think I hate it here

Broken 03:17
I feel it closing in I can feel that pain again… Oh no And all I need to do is to get ahead of you… LET’S GO I haven’t breathed in days Running out of things to say to you I am trying to be good and I hope that’s understood I don’t want to I don’t wanna lose you I can’t stop it This is how I feel I just want to Wanna stay beside you Trying to make it alright Trying to make it real

Tyson 05:38
No sudden movements please Why don’t you let me be I think you can plainly see I am not ready for this I know what you’re gonna say Yeah I watch the others play Think I’ll stay here today I’m fully aware of what I’ll miss I know you’re just trying to be kind No I don’t really mind I’m just one step behind I’ll come around in time I’m only one step behind I’ll come around in time There are things that I cannot share No I wouldn't dare But if you leave it there I’ll come around in time I’m only one step behind I’ll come around in time … In time…

One Mistake 05:36
I’m going down One last breath and I drown Despite what you way I’m only one mistake away I’m on the edge I let go and I’m dead And these thoughts fill my head Wake me up in my bed And my world falls apart in my mind And I start going blind from the thought That it’s my fault this time This time for sure I can’t sustain this And they won’t remain Blissfully unaware Of my faults This is where It all starts It’s the end I no longer pretend And I come to the part Where it’s your fault this time This time for sure

about

“This War” begins with a healthy dose of crunchy guitar action and vocal harmonies, and a keyboard sound that reminded me of classic ‘80s sounds of Styx. An old school tap-tap drum beat keeps the groove going with a song that’s about two people in a relationship rehashing old wounds in a “war” not worth fighting for.


The beginning beat to “Hate it Here” reminds me a little of The White Stripes while the main rhythm and guitar hooks speak of Sleater-Kinney. I absolutely loved the punk attitude in this one, especially the line “I think I hate it here.” There’s some doubt there, but also certainty.

“Broken” starts off with a sweet, reverb guitar effect and dreamy-like harmonies. This one is an all-out, feel good rocker. The change in styles and tempos are sick! Those alone kept me engaged. And the clean, dry bass lines, the distorted guitar, the honest lyrics – what can I say – this song has everything. “Tyson” explodes with a sexy bass and drum rhythm and plenty of power chords. A lot of fantastic vocal harmonies, too. All three members strongly carry the song through from start to finish.

The last number is “One Mistake” and it mixes the old school style of Queen with the newer sounds of The White Stripes. Abernathy’s bass action gets crazy good on the verses. And then the trio goes into a solo break which gets really creative. I’d say this was another one of the band’s most engaging tunes and I thought it captured the band’s unique arrangements quiet well.

Overall, this is a solid debut from a trio that have strong vocal harmonies and first class musicianship.
