The record marks the first full-length release from the promising young band following their signing to ‘Songs to Love and Die By’ back in early 2013. The band were quickly highlighted as the heir apparent to ‘Riot! In The Boulevards’ throne in the pop-punk field, rather unfairly as the majority of comparisons came solely down to the female lead-singer aspect rather than the music. But the promising young New York based band have slowly built a dedicated following over the past year, this has mostly been through touring as a support band and taking part in touring festivals around the US. Their increasing popularity has been proven somewhat surprising with the success of their first two singles, their debut effort ‘Mayday Awaits’ peaked at the number three position on the singles charts and the follow up single ‘Fighter’ which showed their true pop-punk potential peaked at number two on the singles charts. In recent months however, the buzz surrounding the band has begun to die down slightly as they spent the majority of this year inside a studio crafting this debut album of theirs, this meant that the band were very much away from promotional activities and touring, but it appears that now with the album completed and ready to be unveiled it looks like the band are ready to be unleashed into the music world once more. Already booking a spot on the Warped Tour alongside some of the best rock acts in the industry, the band have begun playing the majority of this record during their performances and are expected to be gearing up for a busy year or two in promotion of their debut album. The record features ten tracks, the majority of the songs register around the three to four minute mark and are very much quick-paced pop-punk songs. Already the band have stated that they don’t like to mess around too much with their model, their mantra is very simple, hit the audience quick and hit them hard and this is evidenced in the albums forty-two minute running time. The record was recorded between January and June 2014 and was recorded by the five-piece at ‘Half-Moon Studios’ in Las Vegas, Nevada. The album also includes the two hit singles ‘Fighter’ and their debut effort ‘Mayday Awaits’, the record was produced by the band alongside ‘Christian Fallon’ and occasionally ‘Amy Meyer’. The record will be released on July 12, 2014. TRACKLISTING; 1. Fighter (3:48) 2. Comfort In Unexpected Places (4:47) 3. So Toxic (4:22) 4. From This Day Forward, We’re No Longer Friends (3:17) 5.

lie awake and dream of you and wonder if you’re dreaming too I spend my days thinking of you, always wondering if you’re thinking of me too And I’m sorry that I’ve not been so open these days Always keeping my feelings closed in my heart I’m sorry that I hide how I’m feeling It won’t be easy but I could learn to start Maybe if I did then we’d win So I promise that I’ll try to let you in I don’t need a list of reasons Just a little bit of feeling When you’re closed off you make me feel unsure I find it hard to read you and I can’t endure You’ve got to realize that it’s not so easy To give my heart away so freely I’ve had it broken so many times in the past I’ve had it broken so many times before But I just hope that you know that I love you more So you have to know If this ended badly just like before I don’t think I could let you go We all get doubtful and a little scared I know it’s silly but like I’ve said I will give you all that I have Because giving your heart to someone ain’t always bad I don’t mean to hurt you It’s just part of the way that I am I thought you knew this from the very start I hope I’m not the cause that ever tears us apart So I sometimes hide my true feelings Lock them far away But I have my brief moments of embarrassing romance They just don’t show themselves every day And I hope that this is enough for you I’m sorry for any pain that I ever put you through But if you’re ever doubtful about this Just know that if you ever go away You’ll always be the only thing I’ll ever miss We can get caught in moments of sadness Lost inside our fragile minds We can get caught in moments of romance Confessions of love in panoramic style We can get caught up in the things that we see Start thinking Breakfast At Tiffany’s is how it should be I will try to get over the fears of another goodbye I’m broken, but I’m not beyond repair I will learn to love If you promise that you’ll always be there” Track 06 – Mayday Awaits (5:24) “We’ve been through a lot lately, it’s been a rough year It doesn’t appear to be getting any easier So when I leave, meet me there I know that we both had it all planned out That we’d hold on a little longer Then come the spring We’d both pass out But I just can’t wait any longer I need to go now I can’t suffer through this pain There’s nothing that can fix this f*cked up soul So promise that we’ll meet again When spring comes around I’ll be here for you Standing at the gates When mayday awaits These are the problems I’m struggling to hold on too But I’m not quite ready to leave this world I need to see our plan through If I have to do it without you, then that is what I’ll do But I’ll never ever forget you I’ll see you very soon I’m sorry I can’t take your call, please leave a message at the tone Baby it’s me, please don’t come home tonight Don’t worry darlin’ I’m alright I’ve just had another rough day I tried to get some sleep But it’s no use The thought of tomorrow is keeping me awake I don’t want to be awake no more So please don’t come home I don’t want you to see me the way that I’ll be The cops will call you But I’ve written a note explaining everything I know it’s not how we planned But when May comes around I’ll meet you wherever is next for us Baby hold on tight Goodnight I don’t blame you There’s only so much pain someone can face I hope it’s nice where you are I hope you’ve found a better place I’ll be there real soon I miss your touch on my skin I know I’m facing a losing battle But part of me still thinks I can win But I’ll be there That’s a guarantee When spring comes around That’s when you’ll see me I’m counting down the days, until I see you face again Until I touch your skin So meet me at the pearly gates I’m counting down the days Because mayday awaits I can’t wait to see your face again I can’t wait to hold you close In a more beautiful world than the one before I’ll always love you, evermore So you’ll find me, meet me at the pearly gates I’m counting down the days Because mayday awaits Here it is, my time has come Mayday is here, it’s time to run Run from the sadness that I’ve known all my life End the darkness of trouble and strife I’ve held on long enough Mayday is here I have the pills and the razor blades No regrets and no fears No more hiding No more lying Because a long sleeve, a fake smile And everybody thinks you’re fine But this is it for me It’s where I need to be So when you think about me Don’t tell people that I died from suicide Tell them I died from sadness I’m counting down the days, until I see you face again Until I touch your skin So meet me at the pearly gates I’m counting down the days Because mayday awaits We are beautiful lost souls, creators of destruction We can paint stunning pictures, but our stories have a twist Our paintbrush is a razor Our canvas is our wrist So meet me at the gates When mayday awaits"

We are the wasted youth! We are the wasted youth! We are the wasted youth! We are the wasted youth! Spending nights in clubs and days in bed Alcohol going straight to our head The world is spiralling We don’t care about anything We’re on tables dancing Late night romancing And we’re getting wild and crazy Just can’t stop it Put a record on the turntable Find a beat and drop it! We are the wasted youth! We are the wasted youth! We are the wasted youth! We are the wasted youth! So if we’ve got nothing to search for Then we’ll spend our nights on the dance floor They say that life is brief And it’ll pass you by No use in sitting at home tonight No reason to cry So pass us another drink Pour another shot Let’s not think Live for the moment Knowing if we die tonight We’d have a smile on our faces Fck, that sounds alright Let’s raise hell wherever we go Start causing chaos like never before Find a stranger And take em’ home It’s a lot more appealing than being alone We are the wasted youth! We are the wasted youth! We are the wasted youth! We are the wasted youth!”
