Nothing's Over

Hailing from Columbus, Ohio, the seven piece “Reggae / Rap / Rock” fusion, Shrub, has been rapidly gaining momentum and building a solid national fan base since being voted by readers as High Times Magazine’s Unsigned Band of the Month in September of 2010.

Recently, Shrub released their first full length album, Highceratops, which debuted in the Top 10 on the iTunes Reggae Charts. The album features guest appearances by C-Money from Slightly Stoopid, Dubmatix, and Kimberly Freeman from One-Eyed Doll.

The band garners comparisons to artists like: Sublime, The Dirty Heads, Atmosphere, Gym Class Heroes, and G. Love, but Shrub maintains an innately unique and raw sound all their own. With the addition of new guitar player, Kevin Oliver, former member of the world’s funkiest band, Parliament/Funkadelic (George Clinton), Shrub’s sound has now quickly become full-grown.

“The Midwest has long been a hotbed for successful rap artists, but Shrub’s eclectic fusion of rap, reggae, and rock brings a whole new flavor to the scene.”

Roll Tide

V1.
Rolling out of Texas
Headed South by south-east
Cruising down to Florabama
For good times at the beach.
Invitation for a spring vacation
We’re about to take the leap
You and me and the radio
We put some miles on this old jeep

Chorus
Roll Tide!
The gulf looks to be a thousand miles wide.
Good times!
Cold drink in my hand, and you right by my side
Catching some rays for the next few days
And making some new tan lines
Pegged our Funtracker with some bushwackers
Live music all day and night.
Sunshine napping on the beach
With a seagulls lullabye
Toes down in the sugary white sands
Watching that old “Roll Tide!”

V2.
Rolling ‘Bama shoreline
Puts my mind at ease
Time is always on our side
Down here in the Perdido Keys
Sun is shining on this silver lining
And we haven’t got a care
In this light you’re mesmerizing
‘Bama Breeze blowing through your hair

Chorus
Roll Tide!
The gulf looks to be a thousand miles wide.
Good times!
Cold drink in my hand, and you right by my side
Catching some rays for the next few days
And making some new tan lines
Pegged our funtracker with some bushwackers
Live music every day and night.
Sunshine napping on the beach
With the seagulls lullabye
Toes down in the sugary white sands
Watching that Old “Roll Tide!”

Bridge
What do you say 
We just call this place home
Ain’t really nowhere else
That I ever want to go

Chorus
Roll Tide!
The gulf looks to be a thousand miles wide.
Good times!
Cold drink in my hand, and you right by my side
Catching some rays for the next few days
And making some new tan lines
Pegged our Funtracker with some bushwackers
Live music all day and night.
Sunshine napping on the beach
With a seagulls lullabye
Toes down in the sugary white sands
Watching that old “Roll Tide!”

Lyrics:

Once you hear the siren’s song
It’ll haunt you all night long
Go that way you’re bound to pay your toll
It’s the devil in disguise
And every time you tell your lies
It takes a few more pieces of your soul

I’m not a sinner
As it goes, I’m no saint
I sleep through the winter
Lie in wait until the rain dries
The fatal flaw
Within us all
We try to tame fire
Light me up and let me go
The way they tell it
You’d forget it’s never all bad
Just don’t expect for them to catch you
When you fall back
It’s awful late
You think you’ll make it through the tall grass?
Set me up and let me go

Might be a dreamer
As it goes, I’m not alone so
I know recourse
Is never more
Than just a stones throw
You want enlightenment
Start lightenin’ your own load
Pull the pin and let me go
When dogs are sleepin’
You’d do best to let ‘em lie now
Don’t be compelled
To delve in wells
Already dried out
You want direction
Start by gettin’ off of my cloud
Cut me loose and let me go

It’s all a prison
As it goes, I’m on the outside
The crystal walls
I long to leap
They keep me bound tight
You bate your breath
Or better yet
I’ll take it outright
I paid my debt so let me go
Your footing’s weak
You put your teeth
Before your tongue now
They gave you rope enough
They’d hoped you’d never come down
The hours east
As shadows creep
Across the sundial
Steal a kiss and let me go

The sirens sing a song that’ll put you to a true test
Can’t you see it’s just the devil in a blue dress
Wolf comin’ with her sheep clothes on
But she don’t mean to keep those on

Better Day, off of the brand new Thrive EP which was released July 7th 2015.

What Kenneth said about this song - 

Better Day is about hope. It's about not giving up in the darkest of times. People are too concerned with themselves and their material things. Often times, they don't see the beauty and magic around them, so this song is meant to uplift.
