imdantastic Pop punk at its finest from a 4 piece that's fantastic live. If there's an indie quartet that would have fit in perfectly on Victory, Vagrant, old school Epitaph, or Drive Thru records. Check out the rest of their releases for more! Favorite track: Still Gold.

patience now - mary took a couple months to figure out / the difference between what became her normal way / and certain things she said that were just things to say / all so he would never notice that her heart’s in hiding - soon he saw the writing on the wall / tell me now / mary bury me under the town we called our home / don’t come back is all i ask / the same place she kept her silence / is where she prays her violence - won’t leave her alone / but the guilt’s her own / and now she’s reaching, pleading, needing / those gentle april evenings that she came to vacate / over many long nights they held tight while she lied with busy hands behind / those hands are dripping blood tonight… / mary bury me under the town we called our home / don’t come back is all that i ask / she’s folded her hands / her eyes are closed / she’s just a picture of pain clutching a funeral rose / memories reigning over / mary’s praying over me / mary bury me under the town we called our home / don’t come back is all that i ask / mary bury me under the town we called our home / let me go - tell me now.

Automatic 03:01
i was used to the rain i for sure knew the clouds / i was blind to the flood that was drowning me out / but you helped me accept and to learn to believe / in the scratched crooked lines in the heart on my sleeve / not to mind or define rather simply to know / i want you to know / you gave me hope when i was rotting / i was rotting out / you gave me hope when it was burning / it was burning down / if i could make you see through static to the same things you see in me / so let this be a deafening chorus / a song paying tribute / words like oxygen pushed / from the heart raging within you / everything that you gave me / started what saved me / i felt the fire in your blood and your soul / you gave me hope when i was rotting / i was rotting out / you gave me hope when it was burning / it was burning down / if i could make you see / the change in me / forget any difference, i want you to know / no matter the distance, you’re never alone

Still Gold 03:29
i laid my rock flat here before / but there’s a face i can’t ignore / should’ve said my prayers before i hit the door / emerald eyes / cut me from straight across the room / and i’m two-hearted much too soon / your glance is shaky but your smile is true / audrey, i just wanted a chance / but we both know that a rush to judgment could burn us both real bad / so we’ll keep believing in our own truths / until we’re through perfecting what we know we cannot plan / i’m sure you understand / i believe in the patience that it takes / and i know that another can’t erase / any little thing that’s out of place / but it’s all circumstance / and you’ve got perfect plans to be as flawless as this bar has ever seen / audrey, i just wanted a chance / but we both know that a rush to judgment could burn us both real bad / so we’ll keep believing in our own truths / until we’re through perfecting what we know we cannot plan / i’m telling myself you’ve got things to do / places to be a certain standard to produce / supposed to leave these games back behind in our youth / so what’s the use

Horchata 04:19
do you remember summer / could you forget the other / long enough for me to be the only one inside / your heart may lead you to the things you have to do / and even if our tides would shift how could they bring me back to you / so goodnight and goodbye my love we’ll be alright / so goodnight and goodbye my love we’ll be just fine / the wind is bitter on these cursed winter roads / and every time i take this drive i’m on my own / i carry this on my own / but your suffering won’t set me free / it’s clear but your debris is torn apart and scattered for miles / i carry this on my own / carry on my own / so goodnight and goodbye my love we’ll be alright / so goodnight and goodbye my love we’ll be just fine / let your worries sleep / this one’s up to me / i may carry this with me / but my heart will find release
