Four More

Tue, 29 Jan 2013 18:31:00 -0500

At midnight tonight our EP “Four More” will be released. How exciting! We have some good and bad news to go along with this:

We are overwhelmed with the response we got with preorders for this EP. We can’t thank you enough for supporting us as a band. It’s really an incredible thing. We’ve decided as a token of our gratitude that we will put the album on our bandcamp page as pay what you want! That means you can download it for free or pay for it. Whatever suits you. We just want to make sure everyone has the chance to have and listen to these songs. It will be on iTunes and Spotify if you prefer that route as well.

The bad news. For the crewneck preorder, all the Large and XXLarge orders are on back-order now and won’t be shipping out till later in February. We’re extremely sorry for this inconvenience as it’s out of our control. So, we’ll be adding in a poster to all orders who purchased the full package deal. So now you’ll all be getting the crewneck, a physical copy of the EP, an 8inch die cut vinyl sticker, hand written thank you note, handwritten lyric sheet of one random song, a poster, and the stheart clothing burlap bag.

Thank you all again for being so amazing. We can’t wait to hit the road and come hang out with everyone!

How Do I Show These Cowboys I'm Alive Lyrics

Wed, 23 Jan 2013 21:00:31 -0500

I played it cool never mind that never mind its not a game
You lied for saving face, I just don’t feel the same
I carried tunes never mind fools for so long
It seems that you don’t know me, you just know my name
And I lied about who I would be
Now I’m a gentleman with enemies it seems
I buried you and got away but you don’t know me you just know my name

I stayed away from your scene but now its following me
I thought I was bad, you are mad
For making me an enemy
So just to let you know
Here’s a thanks you note, for bringing this out of me.

(Nic Newsham)
We owe you an album or two
Turns out 6 strings are way too heavy
Booked studio time but the bass wasn’t ready
But I was
I remain to be

I stayed away from your scene but now its following me
I thought I was bad, you are mad
For making me an enemy
So just to let you know
Here’s a thanks you note, for bringing this out of me.

Can’t change your ways the only way you know to be
If only you could be the same
I played the game the only one I knew to play
You kept it under covers so they wouldn’t see my face
But now I’m out and free, you’re holding onto me
I’ll never let you in again
You need apologies that’ll be the day
The one day you all will wash away

So just to let you know
Here’s a thanks you note, for bringing this out of me.
I stayed away from your scene but now its following me
I thought I was bad, you are mad
For making me an enemy
So just to let you know
Here’s a thanks you note, for bringing this out of me.

Today our #whalewednesday will be a bit different than the past 3 weeks. We pay attention, we listen to you guys and appreciate your feedback. We’re fans of music just as much as you are and incorporate that into what we do.

We have put up a preorder for ONLY the physical copy of our EP, “Four More.” A separate preorder of just the record for those that are not interested in our first bundle.

ALSO, for those that have already preordered our EP bundle, we are adding a hand written lyric sheet of one random song from the EP. From here on out all EP bundles will have this added to them.

Stay tuned for next #whalewednesday when we release the final track of our EP.

You can still stream the other songs we released here:

1. Bad Man - Alternative Press

2. Drown Pt. 2 - Stheart

3. tba

4. Warden Sings the Blues - Under the Gun

Warden Sings the Blues Lyrics

Wed, 09 Jan 2013 21:00:45 -0500

Better way to a widow I don’t know if I can change
I came to bare my soul and I don’t know if its the same
I couldn’t stay away and I don’t know if you can wait forever
Oh, I can’t wait to see insane

Who, are you?
The warden sings the blues

In the face of what I do not know I am ashamed
Hearts on the way but I don’t know if its okay
What can I do, no you know I blame
Myself for you but you’re insane

Who, are you?
The warden sings the blues

Its only in limbo, we’re all insane sometimes my angel
I will run away without you
And you are on my mind

Who, are you?
The warden sings the blues

Bad Man Lyrics

Wed, 02 Jan 2013 21:00:00 -0500

Time and time again its like a backing track of hands
Like backhanded, “you were on the radio”.
Time and time again I am as modest as I can be
Aint it at the top when you’re all alone
I can’t let it go, like a parachute
I keep moving on, in a pair of shoes
You can’t fill these even if you tried
You want to kill it, get a hobby and a hunting knife
Cause you’re not this good.

Papa was a bad man, my momma was a good good girl
Baby now you got me, so now you got the best of both worlds

Damnit I would beg and steal and borrow to put some food on the floor
Let me know if you’re cold and you’re lonely
And I would let you be the bottle if I could be the note
Let me know if you throw, if you throw me
I can’t let it go, like a parachute
I keep moving on, in a pair of shoes
You can’t fill these even if you tried
You want to kill it, get a hobby and a hunting knife
Cause you’re not this good.

Papa was a bad man, my momma was a good good girl
Baby now you got me, so now you got the best of both worlds
I gave you rock baby, you got soul
Now you’ve got everything you need to know
Papa was a bad man, my momma was a good girl

The way they follow me
And I ain’t doing this alone
It’s the way we have to be
And its the way we couldn’t say
Cause you’re not this good

Papa was a bad man, my momma was a good good girl
Baby now you got me, so now you got the best of both worlds
I gave you rock baby, you got soul
Now you’ve got everything you need to know
Papa was a bad man, my momma was a good girl
