In The Boulevard, Cara Zayn, Christian Fallon “Young Cardinals” is the sixth studio album released by American rock band 'Riot! In The Boulevard' and seventh overall album released from the Las Vegas based trio of Adam Benjamin, Amy Meyer and Jason Greenberg. Produced by all three members of Riot! In The Boulevard alongside Cara Zayn and Christian Fallon. It will mark the final album by the group before they began what they have called an 'indefinite hiatus', stating personal issues and the need to step away from the machine as the primary reasons for their decision to part ways. “Young Cardinals” is an album that has been in the works since 2017 and has been plagued by numerous delays over the previous three years. It has seen nine singles released since the lead single “Asylum”, dropped on August 6, 2016 and was followed by “Swinging For The Fences”, “Pop Culture x Hungry Vulture”, “Comeback Kids”, “Fireworks Over Vegas”, “Young Cardinals”, “Dead On Arrival”, “Faking Happiness Until It's Found” and the final and most recent single, “Nomads”. In a post on their website announcing the album, the group said the following; Quote: ““Friends, this is the part we've been dreading for the longest time. In 2010 we made the decision to hire a van and Adam's parents booked and drove us to gigs at malls and proms and all kinds of events that we had no right to be performing at all around the mid-west. It was almost a year later when we were signed by Nomad Records and ever since that day all of our lives changed. They put us on tours with the likes of 'Reported Failure', “Suburban Sunrise”, “Dead Roses”, “Infinite” and “Mind” in just over a year and were kind enough to get five kids into a recording studio and begin to live this sort of messed up fantasy life. We put out or self-titled debut album in July 2011 and everything changed from that moment on in the best and worst ways (mostly best though!) Since signing that record deal and a few other deals along the way, (Nomad, North Hill and Studio60) we've released five studio albums and twenty-seven singles, one e.p and one live album. Completed four headlining world tours and a whole bunch of supporting tours and festival performances. I think we may have seen every corner of this world and had people sing our words back to us which is just crazy. We've been through a whole lot of ups and downs and from a bunch of kids that were thrust into this world sooner than any of us would have ever expected, I think we did alright. We've had our share of sadness and struggles along the way, two original members left the band and took with them their friendship. We've personally lost loved ones over these years and blamed ourselves for not being around enough despite not ever truly being able to kick the habit of travelling and working. From a personal point of view, 2017 and 2018 was the most difficult period that I have faced and the songs from this next record will shed some light on that. I apologize that an album that was initially supposed to be released in 2017 hasn't came out yet, from a band well known for their productivity we've really that reputation slide over the last couple of years however unintentional. I hope you can forgive that and I hope that these new songs will go some way to appease the delay. I've hated it as much as you's have. But I thank you for your support over the years, it's been everything. The passion will live on forever, but sadly the band will not. There was always going to be a time when we had to draw a line under the banner of 'Riot! In The Boulevard' and with the release of “Nomads” on January 26 and the long-awaited release of “Young Cardinals” on February 2. We say goodbye. Unfortunately we will not be in a position to play these songs live but would certainly hope to play them for you one day. I can't say when that day will be, I definitely don't see it being any time in the near future. This band isn't dead, it's just resting it's eyes. We're calling it an indefinite hiatus, let's hope that it is. Always with love. Riot! In The Boulevard xoxo In terms of the album, fans can expect the trio's final attempt to be a sprawling and emotional epic. With eighteen songs on the record we see the band fire fast and furiously through songs of nostalgia and anger and slowly come to terms with broken friendships and the acceptance of growing older. It's being looked at as the final album by “Riot! In The Boulevard”, a band that has defied the regular trappings of fame and success and remained as true to their audience as they have ever been. It'll be released through Studio60 Records on February 2, 2019.

When all of your wildest dreams come true Tell me, who’s standing next to you When all of your wildest dreams come true Tell me please, who’s standing right there next to you They can push me around It’s easy to make the small ones fall to the ground But the strength comes from within, not the frame that surrounds my skin And they’ll never quite know, the strength I have inside I’ve cut negative people out of my life and cast them all aside And that’s what it takes If you wanna be great That’s what it’s gonna take If you wanna be great Well, everything they throw at me I send it straight back Everything they aim at me I’m prepared for their attack Cause, everything they throw at me I send it straight back And everything they aim at me I’m prepared for their attack”

Did we do alright? Cause I've been touring for so long my memory has faded Writing songs that made me feel elated But I never took a moment A moment to take everything all in and smile We were just kids that were handed the keys Told that we could be everything that we ever wanted to be And as time went on, it just became routine Somewhere along the way We lost part of who we were supposed to be Come back kids And take all of this in Look at what you've done Where do I begin Come back kids Take all of this in Look at what you've done Where do I begin We’re the kids who chose not to grow up Even when the path was long and the roads were rough We learnt to cling onto hope And believe in the magic Even in the darkest times When we learnt that life was so tragic Come back kids And take all of this in Look at what you've done Where do I begin Come back kids Take all of this in Look at what you've done Where do I begin Now I see what we've done and it makes me proud To hear those young hearts singing those songs back to us so loud And to see what we've done and the places that we've seen Is like somebody tore an entry from the diary of our wildest dream And I just want to scream Come back kids And take all of this in Look at what you've done Where do I begin Come back kids Take all of this in Look at what you've done Where do I begin” Track: #06 Title: “Bring on the Rapture” Genres: Alternative Rock, Pop-Punk Length: 6:17 Label: Studio60 Records Writer(s): Amy Meyer Lyrics; “When I was broken I always wanted to see the very end of the day But I fought my way out of the darkness, somehow I scraped and clawed until I found my way Despite all of this pain that I’ve had to go through Despite all the anger that I felt towards you Despite all the pressure to be the very best on this earth I fought and scratched my way through all of the dust and the dirt And I’m the one that’s standing tall I’ve reached many peaks and felt the pain of the fall But I’m still standing tall For when the rapture comes When the rapture comes The rapture comes Do you truly know what it takes to feel alive? Will you do all it takes, at the thought that you could be the only one to survive? When the worlds engulfed in flames around you And there’s no one else standing right behind you Do you have the strength to face this on your own? Fighting for your life in a way that you’ve never known Hold on tight, hold on tight, hold on Hold on! Hold on! If one choice can transform you If one choice can destroy you If one choice can confine you If one choice can re-define you What will you choose? Will you be the one to lose? So, bring on the rapture And we’ll see where we go tonight Bring on the rapture, we’ll see if we made it right Bring on the rapture, let our faith step in At the end of all days Bring on the rapture And we shall sing If one choice can transform you If one choice can destroy you If one choice can confine you If one choice can re-define you What will you choose? Will you be the one to lose? Do you truly know what it takes to feel alive? Will you do all it takes, at the thought that you could be the only one to survive? When the worlds engulfed in flames around you And there’s no else standing right behind you Do you have the strength to face this on your own?

If you could do one last thing For someone you love What would it be? Say it. Do it. Don't wait Nothing lasts forever Today could be their very last day Everywhere you look, you're reminded and it's all you can see It hurts you to know the pain that they went through When you weren't all that they'd need And you're hurting, and you're aching, the pain's so real If someone doesn't show you Doesn't mean That they don't feel So if you had a friend You knew you'd never see again What would you say? If you could do one last thing For someone you love What would it be? Say it. Do it. Don't wait Nothing lasts forever Today could be their very last day So if you had a friend You knew you'd never see again What would you say? If you could take the pain From someone you love Would you take it all away? Would you take it all away Knowing that nothing lasts forever It's always better late Than never” Track: #14 Title: “Pop Culture x Hungry Vulture” Genres: Alternative Rock, Pop-Punk Length: 3:58 Label: Studio60 Records Writer(s): Amy Meyer, Adam Benjamin, Jason Greenberg Lyrics; “Six years is a long time to be surrounded by chaos and be the face of sanity It’s like the world went insane and yet we maintained our normality But the cracks started to show in the months gone by And they locked us away and never told us why And we’re shackled and confined to the four walls that consume us Camera’s all around so the whole world can look at us I guess we’re just freaks Freaks at a circus Hey kid Didn't you think that this is where you always wanted to be? In this messed up place called pop culture Where they watch em' eat you up like a hungry vulture Flashing lights and glimmering shines Enough to make even the most normal souls go wild And ain’t it funny how quickly stories become gospel in this place They print these words without a seconds thought If only they’d know how difficult it can be to even consider showing your face In this messed up place called pop culture Where they watch em’ eat you up Like a hungry vulture Hey kid Didn't you think that this is where you always wanted to be? In this messed up place called pop culture Where they watch em' eat you up like a hungry vulture Faces plastered on magazines Picking apart your deepest insecurities behind iPhone screens Vintage clothing all for free If you're willing to sell your story on TV Didn't you think that this is where you always wanted to be? In this messed up place called pop culture Where they watch em' eat you up like a hungry vulture Didn't you think that this is where you always wanted to be? In this messed up place called pop culture Where they watch em' eat you up like a hungry vulture”

My heart has been held by those that have seen it It's now charcoal and crumbling From all of the lighters and matches Why would you burn What is not yours in the first place? Why would you burn What is not yours in the first place? So I guess that I have been faking happiness Until it's found Hold me down until it comes around I guess that I have been faking happiness Until it's found Hold me down until it comes around I'm a little older these days and the road has taken it's toll With many loves and heartbreak felt along the way It's a long way down to fall When you're so far away from home And everything you've ever known My heart has been held by those that have seen it It's now charcoal and crumbling From all of the lighters and matches Why would you burn What is not yours in the first place? Why would you burn What is not yours in the first place? So I guess that I have been faking happiness Until it's found Hold me down until it comes around I guess that I have been faking happiness Until it's found Hold me down until it comes around” Track: #16 Title: “Perfect Melodies and Hardcore Breakdowns” Genres: Alternative Rock, Pop-Punk Length: 3:04 Label: Studio60 Records Writer(s): Amy Meyer, Adam Benjamin, Jason Greenberg Lyrics; “We're the kids who chose not to grow up Even when the path was long and the roads were rough We learnt to cling onto hope And believe in the magic Even in the darkest times When we learnt that life was so tragic They called us the therapists of the teenage demographic The saviour of the next generation The saviour of the masses And we'll take a pen and pour our heart out onto the page Put it in pretty vinyl colours and take it to the stage If we sing this song loud enough Will you sing it back to us If we sing this song loud enough Will you sing it back to us now With our perfect melodies and hardcore breakdowns We've been to almost every place we possibly could Heard our words sung back to us like returning prophets of the youth And the road has made us weary We've dealt with our fair share of pain and loss But it was all worth it in the end If this was the cost If we sing this song loud enough Will you sing it back to us If we sing this song loud enough Will you sing it back to us now With our perfect melodies and hardcore breakdowns If we sing this song loud enough Will you sing it back to us If we sing this song loud enough Will you sing it back to us now With our perfect melodies and hardcore breakdowns”

Do you have the strength to stand tall and face your ghosts And risk your whole world crashing around you? Do you have the faith in yourself to make all of the right choices And find power within the words that you preach and the strength of your voices Then claim the land that’s in front of you As far as the eye can see Let me ask you What will your legacy be? Yeah, what will your legacy be? We had a pretty good run, at least the three of us We put up a fight while swimming against the ferocious tides But you all have your new heroes now Yeah, you have your new heroes And they will stand you in good stead, help you fight the good fight I know it's hard to let go Believe me I know Maybe this is the end for all to see And I wonder endlessly What will our legacy be? Maybe this is the end for all to see And I wonder endlessly Yeah, what will our legacy be? What will our legacy be?” Track: #18 Title: “Nomads” Genres: Alternative Rock, Pop-Punk Length: 5:22 Label: Studio60 Records Writer(s): Amy Meyer, Adam Benjamin, Jason Greenberg Lyrics; “You know nothing of the break and you know nothing of our story If you'd have spent seven years with guys in a van you'd have gone a little crazy too And it's funny when people ask me, was it all worth it I don't hesitate for a second, I got to conquer the world with my friends And I'd go back in a second and do it all over again And again and again and again Until my throat was dry and my lungs were empty We've been through good times and bad We've been through plenty Life is a little different now and I find myself growing older And those around me are growing older too I have to admit, I sometimes take late night drives through Nevada In the quiet hours of the night while the world is asleep And it's crazy how Canary Way used to be home to all five of us I know it's not much but it holds so many memories Wrote most of that first record at my parents house on the corner of Canary The memories remain but somehow it feels empty Families and friends have moved on Some of them still with us But a devastating number of them have gone Lived our lives like nomads Always running away Little did we know That this would all be gone someday Live our lives like nomads Always running away Little did we know That this would all be gone someday It's funny when people say that we actually somehow made it But there's more to life than just being famous Don't get me wrong, I know that I've been truly blessed But this hasn't always been the path to happiness And now that I'm older I'm finally starting to understand That there's more to travelling the world in a little pop-punk band But I'd only trade all of this in for one thing I'd trade this all in For the people that we're missing Lived our lives like nomads Always running away Little did we know That this would all be gone someday Live our lives like nomads Always running away Little did we know That this would all be gone someday”
