Fell in love during the summer
Mom's a lover Pop's a hustler
So no wonder I'mma lover and a writer
I was a bright eyed kid with no prior
Record or records to push
Around the time nobody wanted to have a regular look
We all wanted to be from outer space
Maybe subconsciously we all knew the planet's almost done anyway
I'm just tryna dodge my thoughts of cemeteries
I only said I'd stay down here till February
Some of the best situations seem temporary
It turned out great, they think I'mma visionary
I'm really just the man with the balls to care
A big heart and some curled up hair 
Baby it's a big world out there
I wanna see it all then maybe I'll come back to you

Always been hungry for success
But we live in a greedy society so sometimes you gotta look past your belly and find yourself
You might be a dick and don't know it
Sometimes I cared but can't show it
I thought we agreed on where it was all going
You started making lofty promises on how we would live
I went along with it to save face
And made you an anthem to play
We still reminisce about it to this day
But it wasn't enough
It's like the only way to be happy with you is wait around for you to catch up
And that ain't love
That's staying together for cheap rent
Stuck on the old days that came and went
Life has a way of showing you who's who
So no matter where I go it always comes back to you

I put my life on the line so we could all get some
You put ya life online so you can play the victim
Funny that the artist who originally made this
Said don't become a bass in a city full of bait fish
You encouraged me to take chances
And now that I'm taking another one you seem antsy
Not to mention for the work I do
All the kats that tried to play me I feel are
I know that I'm different
I know I might of had a little too much whiskey
I thought that I was making a difference and maybe I was
Maybe this a break and it's not a full break up
I just wanna feel like the time we spent was never wasted
They want me to bad mouth I still never say shit
We're both better because we met
I hope all these memories you never forget

Again

You!

Time heals all your wounds, now
You feel it's all the same, baby

The memories, they haunt me still
The memories, I've had my fill
You're drowning me in the heat of your still
The memories, I've had my fill, and they

Won't let you down
Won't let you down

Time heals all your wounds, now
Move, love, it's all the same, baby
And my head's in the sky, but my feet just wanna touch the ground
I found you in the corner of the room with my heart, baby

The memories, they haunt me still
The memories, I've had my fill
You're drowning me in the heat of your still
The memories, I've had my fill, and they

Won't let you down
Won't let you down

Do you know what you're doing to me
Is it true what you're doing to me
Is it gon' take the lies from me
Take your eyes from me

What would you do, if I don't think about you
Would you tell me how you feel, if my love was for real 
What would you do, if I don't think about you
Would you tell me how you feel, if my love was for real 
What would you do
What would you do
What would you do
What would you do
It's all the same
It's all the same

Memories (feat. Jessica Yafanaro)

(3,4) Eastside put your pistols in the air
They didn't think we'd make it anywhere
I'm with my niggas, so I think they scared
Hood out the window because we don't care (Eastside)

I'm with that
This that get back like reparations
Revenge, click-clack, violence, and retaliation
Nation of wrongdoers blacker than Muslims in jail
Temptation of moving units, so it’s crack that we sell
We pack pistols and roll pack with black lips and a shell
Slept on a couch for 2 hours, then it’s back to the mail
Or back to them tales, stories about the shit I want
How can I fail? Seen some niggas hit a lick
They flaunt, I’m right on they trail
See, I’m a cutthroat, born broke, dark lung, never choke
Daddy’s son, compassion seeking ass nigga
And if we had to split a lick, I wouldn’t pass with ya
Can't say no to drugs I was too busy cuttin' class with 'em

They look from outside
They don't like what you do
A prisoner from inside
You come from a life of abuse
But it's a celebration

Eastside put your pistols in the air (Eastside)
They didn't think we'd make it anywhere
I'm with my niggas, so I think they scared
Hood out the window because we don't care

Eastside put your pistols in the air
They didn't think we'd make it anywhere

They look from outside
They don't like what you do
A prisoner from inside
You come from a life of abuse
But it's a celebration

(Is that the police right there?)

Come and celebrate with me, yeah
Come and celebrate with me, yeah
They didn't think we'd make it anywhere
Come and celebrate with me, yeah
Come and celebrate with me, yeah
They didn't think we'd make it (3,4)

Akron, Ohio… An All-American City. The city that powered America’s ride into 
the 20th century as the tire capital of the world. Where the American dream came easy and Art Deco skyscrapers sprang up. As Akron declined, along with the rest of the industrial Midwest, it inspired something very different – music from area bands such as Devo, the Cramps, Chrissie Hynde and Tin Huey.

Two musicians and Akron natives -- John Petkovic (Cobra Verde, Sweet Apple, Guided by Voices, Death of Samantha) and Patrick Carney (Black Keys) -- found a common bond over music that came out of the Akron area, but also the city’s glorious past and tumultuous present.

“Akron, Ohio” is a celebration of their friendship. The debut album by Sad Planets is the product of two friends with storied careers and beloved bands coming getting together to have fun and record a batch of songs on the spot, in the moment. The 10-song album mixes deft songwriting with experimental and eclectic sounds played on a multitude of instruments. It also expands the musical roles they play in their other bands. Yes, Carney plays drums at times, but also adds Enoesque synthesizers and other instruments to the mix. Petkovic does all the vocals and adds layers of guitars to the album. “Just Landed” – an elegy about revisiting a long-gone place – is a spacey slice of psychedelic pop. It features J Mascis, who stopped by the studio during recording. “J grabbed my guitar and just started playing along so we hit record,” says Petkovic. “It sums up the entire process… I would come up with chords and songs on the spot.” “City Ghosts” and “Disappearing” are moody, cinematic soundtracks that recall drives they took around Akron during recording. “When Patrick asked if I wanted to come to Akron to jam with him in the studio,” says Petkovic, “I saw it as a chance to work with a longtime friend, but also an opportunity to reconnect with Akron in a very different way.”

Petkovic, a Cleveland resident, was born in Akron. Carney was leaving the city to live in Nashville. As a result, Akron came to play a unique role – as a ghost and a place that is as familiar as it is distant.

“Not of This World,” with its insurgent guitars, spacey interlude and synthesizer freak-outs, is a burst of “psychedelic trash” – one of the phrases Petkovic and Carney tossed out as a template when they started recording. “Yesterday Girls,” “I Want You to Want You” and “Bad Cells” are driving rock ‘n’ roll blasts that recall the most raucous elements of their other bands.

They met in 1999, by chance, at the Akron Art Museum – when Carney approached Petkovic to tell him that he was the nephew of Ralph Carney. The legendary multi-instrumentalist, who passed away in 2017, had recorded with Cobra Verde. 

Twenty years later, that bond has resulted in an album of their own.

Love Can Be

Chris Horne: The Devil Strip Makes Changes

MLK once said that “we must accept our finite circumstances, but we must never lose infinite hope”. This sentiment rings especially true for Ohio-based artist Floco Torres, whose struggles earlier in life have paved the way for the deeply personal, grounded, and motivational lyricism that has evolved into a robust career in hip-hop.

Citing influences from the likes of Jay Z, Biggie, Lupe Fiasco, Kid Cudi, and St. Vincent, Torres' sound is a collation of the old school boom bap hip-hop sprinkled with pop and indie influences. Both lyrically and emotionally, his music pivots around themes of motivation, faith, and resilience, drawing on his struggles with homelessness in his teens and his upbringing around addiction. With intricate flows and deeply relatable wordplay at the very core of his sound, Floco Torres creates an intimate musical experience that simulates the feeling that Floco is speaking directly to you.

As a child, Torres played the violin, drums, and trumpet. His parents also encouraged him to journal, with this gradually evolving into a love for writing lyrics when he first discovered hip-hop. Now with 24 unique musical projects to his name, including involvement with a hip-hop group called ‘Free Black!’ with producer/drummer HR3 and Akron, Floco Torres is showing no signs of slowing down. Torres' career took flight in 2011 when he received a $25,000 grant to produce the '10,000 Hours EP' w/ Grammy Nominated Producer/Percussionist Steve Moretti. Additionally, his song 'Cherry Street' went on to win 6 ADDY awards and a Mosaic award for diversity.

Since his debut release 'Another World' in 2006, he has played shows with Gym Class Heroes, Chester French, Slick Rick, Raekwon, KRS-One, Black Moon, Black Milk, Desiigner, and Amine.

You!

Floco Torres
