The Vagrance Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 http://thecoldcoldhearts.bandcamp.com/album/maybe-were-for-real-this-time Its rough, its dirty, but its good ol' fashioned high school year-long lasting punk with inside jokes and studio talk (and synthesizers). Really this has been done for a while and we've since kinda sorta broke up (Not really "broke up" as much as the fact that we all go to different schools now) but its still fun, and I enjoy listening to it, and White Lines has a totally sweet breakdown. So yeah, enjoy, share, etc.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Coop Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 I'd gladly listen to it, but it seems the site thinks I either don't have Flash, or that Ad Block Plus is somehow still enabled after I turned it off. No fair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you don't have the newest version of flash? Thanks for at least showing interest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Vagrance Posted October 6, 2009 Author Share Posted October 6, 2009 I'll bump this once then let it die, no love for punk on OCR I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Coop Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Maybe I'm not the only one having problems downloading it. I figure when FireFox and IE are both getting that Flash/Popup Blocker message (with Flash 10, and popup blocking disabled), something's not right. I literally can't even click the play button without getting that message. Perhaps upload it to another file host? Edit: Figured it out. Somewhere along the way, Flashblock was installed in FireFox. It replaces Flash objects with a symbol that you click on to enable that Flash content. If you have it, disable it. That's what's preventing the download.

The Vagrance Posted October 6, 2009 Author Share Posted October 6, 2009 You're actually the only person I've heard any problems from, I guess flashblock isn't that widespread. That said, thanks for checking it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vilecat Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 It works just fine on Safari for me. I'm gonna let the file download and listen to it once I'm back from class. Old school punk reminds me of way back when I started high school. Simple Plan was called Reset and they were a local underground punk band (moar liek garage/basement band). Everyone had cassette mixtapes of their music They've become so mainstream now though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteo Xavier Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Only 7 songs? Oh well, I totally dig the gimmick and your commitment to it. Its way too well-produced for a high school album though. Not my kinda music at all, but since you're wondering if you're REAL this time, congratulations. You pulled off an EP with some balls, skills and construction. Its definitely the real thing to me. 8.4/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Coop Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Any chance of getting the lyrics for all the songs on a text file or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You pulled off an EP with some balls, skills and construction. Its definitely the real thing to me. I wouldn't call this a gimmick at all, we all love punk music in the group and will probably continue to write it individually. The title actually came from the last set of mixes that I did when I sent them out to the band, because the EP has been worked on for like, the past year (off and on, we're lazy bastards with side-projects and schoolwork) and my album title for the mixes was "maybe we're for real this time" as in maybe we'll actually get this released. It also adds to the humour factor considering we've essentially broken up due to collegic enterprises and the fact that the US is huge. Any chance of getting the lyrics for all the songs on a text file or something? I'll see what I can do, I'm not fully convinced that David has all of the lyrics still (most were just written on random slips of paper that have since been thrown away) but worst case scenario I can just listen to the individual vocal tracks, or I could just see if I could write them all down from memory because I've heard this EP so many times, lol.

TheKrow Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 I think this is awesome, it reminds me of band I was in a couple years ago. Punk is definitely one of the most fun genre's to play no doubt. Some of the tracks were pretty damn hilarious especially the ending to the second one. Production was great too, and I might be convinced this was professional if the singing was more prominent. Great stuff though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vilecat Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Been listening to it and forogt to post again. I wasn't expecting anything that good, frankly. I enjoyed most of the songs and will make my sis listen to it this weekend ;P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, and punk is so much fun to play, especially once everyone starts getting their parts down and syncing up well. I can't imagine being in a super serious band, granted there is the whole "artistic merit" side to it but I'd much rather have a bunch of fun and mess around the whole time. Been listening to it and forogt to post again. I wasn't expecting anything that good, frankly. I enjoyed most of the songs and will make my sis listen to it this weekend ;P Thanks, especially for sharing the music with others. And lemme guess, you didn't like "Grave" or "3/4"? Those are pretty much accepted as the band's least favorite songs. EDIT: And I contacted the singer/guitarist/songwriter about the lyrics so I should have them uploaded shortly.

Ok, well he doesn't want to put the lyrics up with the album but the bassist helped me fix things because his mom also wanted a lyrics sheet so I'll just post 'em here considering I took the time to solo the vocal track in each song and type 'em up. 1.

White LinesVERSE 1Your face is made of such a pretty fabricationTheres lipstick where your lips should be inhaling medicationWith your nose up to the mirror, you get lost in your reflectionSlipping in and out of consciousness to check on your complexionCHORUS 1'Cause last night, I learned a dance I can't describeAnd last night, I picked up speed 'til I took flightVERSE 2You look just like a model, how you're sucking on your cigarettesYou call yourself an actress but I saw you on the internetGoing down on your prescriptions you look better than you ever did my friendI see sniffing out for status but your nose is too stuffed up againCHORUS 2'Cause those guys, had knives where there should have been eyesAnd those guys, howled at that poison moon all nightVERSE 3Your gag reflex has left you after choking down your self-esteem(Hold down the fort!) We'll drive around until we're sure we're cleanYour skin's all pale and pallid from all that hiding from the sun you've done my friendDon't place names next to the faces, 'cause in the end they all begin to blendCHORUS 3'Cause last night, felt like the night of long knivesAnd those guys, strung me up and left me out to dry6. 3/4VERSE 1There was rage that boiled the blood in my veinsThere were bombs and barbed wire that bloomed out of my skinThere was hate that blistered the lids of my eyesThere was nerve gas and napalm that rained down from the skyCHORUS(When the girls go home) We're burning like matches in love with our lighters(And they're bathed in smoke) They're ashes they're embers they're cherries they're fire(And the hearts beat cold) Another day older another all-nighter another day older another day brighter another day older another dayVERSE 2I was young (I was young I was hopeless) I was so out of loveI was sunk (I went down like a depth charge) I was down on my luckI was tame (muzzled and collared) I was hung up and framedI took aim (They were fish in a barrel) like two crashing planes, they went down in flamesCHORUSBRIDGEI can't be angry anymore7. KillersVERSE 1From the inside looking out that closed sign looks like you're wide openWrapped around in coffee grounds your red eyes tell me that you're goldenPRE-CHORUSAnd all those fucking parties (Where the guys are so sweet)And the smoke and debris (That you choose over me)Are just boys with knives where their eyes should beAll those red plastic cups (Filled and drunk)Crushed and used up (Loved and then dumped)I guess they're out of time, I guess they're out of luck CHORUS 1And if you have to kill all your friends to make it happen, then make it happenAnd if you have to go out blow out like a local high school shootingOr two planes end up crashing into two gigantic buildingsVERSE 2She's got those pictures on the internet well they're just evidence of her existenceGirl you can do your best, try to repent, but you're all out of innocencePRE-CHORUSCHORUS 2And if you have to kill all your friends to make it happen, then make it happenAnd if you have to end it (end it!) publicly and bloody, and broadcast it on TV all across the countryOUTROAnd when the drugs wear offAnd when the cops get calledAnd when the girl is goneAnd when the sun comes upAnd when the drugs wear offAnd when the cops get calledAnd when the girl is goneAnd when the sun comes upAnd when the drugs wear off(Skinny arms and skinny legs, another car crashed down on the ground where I had slept)And when the cops get called(These nights are the only things keeping me from putting a bullet in my head)And when the girl is gone(Skinny arms and skinny legs, another car crashed down on the ground where I had slept)And when the sun comes up(These nights are the only things convincing me to put a bullet in my head) Honestly I don't know why he doesn't want them out because I think they're really good.
