Hello Everybody!!
We are excited to bring you our latest release which is another 4 song EP, simply titled "Taken Flight"...No we are not so lame as to where we couldn;t think of anything, its just that "Rambo Zebra" didn't fly with Brandon ;)
Anyhow, all that aside, we are very pleased with the new songs & we hope you enjoy listening to them as much as we enjoyed recording them! Tracks include (in no particular order yet:)
1.) Burn It
(This is our "political" song...although we usually don't sing about politics, Jay felt it neccessary to speak his mind about our current administration with a neat little clip!It also features some of Mike's sweetest moments on lead guitar & Brandon's pounding drumbeats!)
2.) Wasted
( The title says it all! This song is nothing more about having too much fun & having too much to drink and not knowing where you are or how you got there! I'm sure some people can relate!)
3.)Beliefs of a lost past
(A special thanks goes out to Brad Westover of IDFk on this one. He contributed Lyrics & Music to this song as a member of Jay's old band The Lucky 7's. The song is a heartfelt yearning for better days left in the past & also expresses regret about not fully appreciating the good times enough...kind of like a don't know what you've got till its gone concept)
4.) 1987 Parkview Road
(This is simply the "Two Cities" song 1987 done over with the current Taken Flight lineup & re-named a title that has more relevance to what the song is about, which is relationship & it can be seen as the address to a particular girl's house. The name Parkview also stems from a group Brandon & Mike played in. The song basically tels the story of a guy who takes too long to tell a girl how he feels about her & that it might be too late as she is already in the arms of another man she is singing praises about. I guess our poor boy is now "just a friend". Guys, I know we have all been there right?)
Again, we hope you all dig the new tunes! They will be available for sale soon on interpunk.com (http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vaW50ZXJwdW5rLmNvbQ==) & at at shows...We will announce a CD release party in the VERY NEAR FUTURE....EXPECT A CD RELEASE IN DECEMBER!!....PERHAPS THE NEW TAKEN FLIGHT CD WILL MAKE A NICE CHRISTMAS PRESENT!! HINT...HINT ;)
CHEERS!!
