    Battle Scars, the band’s debut album, blends vintage analog instrumentation & deep rhythms with a new-age digital backdrop. Pulling on influences spanning multiple genres including lo-fi garage rock, 60′s soul, 90′s boom-bap hip-hop, and today’s electronic movement, the result is an unapologetic 12-song manifesto about a band whose members have been through hell and back to make their dreams a reality in a world that’s closing in both socially and politically. Recorded at Cedar Street Studios in Philadelphia with co-producer Ted Richardson (Portugal. The Man, Sleeper), Battle Scars has been received much acclaim since it’s release in September 2013.

lyrics

---LYRICS---

There’s an imperfection in this perfect world
It’s where I’m from, oh lord
It’s a two-light town with dueling directions…
Much like myself
We all got demons, yes they’re happy & sad
Mine are these streets and they cling to the past
Well my heart is fire so don’t you go lying
My days, they are numbered
Yet stuck in a holding pattern
Holding out for my home….

(Chorus)
Well I think it’s about time
I accept myself
I’m from Souderton and nowhere else
Nothing more and nothing less
And what I have to show for it is this
‘S’ up on my chest


I’m a hungry flower living in the shadows
Of them big city lights, oh oh
Well it’s a little town
Yet look what it’s done
I need water, and I need sun
These are the needs I can’t bear to be without
Oh without my home…

(Chorus II)

I lit a fire, I lit a flame
On Central and School that burns till this day
It spread down Broad then through my veins
It’ll burn this town straight to the ground
‘til nothing remains the same
‘Til nothing remains


(Chorus III)
