Lyrics:
Don’t be afraid or accept confusion 
The fear is fake it is illusion 
I wanna break from this repression
I feel hate and aggression 

Don’t let it cage our existence 
That’s ours to make and ours to witness
Fear is a place with no forgiveness 
So my rage is my resistance 

Don’t get me wrong
That poison hurt us
Wrath is not on my side
It is a drug
That does curse us 
We cannot see what’s right

I want more love
I want more purpose
My anger’s made my heart blind
Those truly strong
Are ones that serve us
Ones that shine a light

Fear N' Wrath

Lyrics:
I'm raging from the cruelty of mankind
I'm patient but I cannot waste more time
What's wrong with you
What's wrong with you

I wonder where does my patience end
When will I put my hands up to defend
I wanted to
I wanted to

I'm hurting from a sick society
The heart’s breaking from the negativity
It's miserable
It's miserable  

Doesn't have to be 
It doesn't have to be
It doesn't have to be
It doesn't have to be

It doesn't have to be
It doesn't have to be
It doesn't have to be
It doesn't have to be

California Dreamin'

Cam found that his fans constantly ask for his influence. Following the "show, don't tell" advice from his team, Cam went into the studio to record a Heart-Shaped Box cover...and completely made it his own.

Heart-Shaped Box

Lyrics:
Truth be told
The name's Cam Cole
And I gotta more soul than your rock 'n' roll yeah

Might seem young
But I ain't dumb
And there's a lotta motherfuckers but I ain't one

Truth be told
The name's Cam Cole
And I gotta more soul than your rock 'n' roll yeah

Yeah

Yeah

I stomp my shoes
Speak my truth
I got a whole other meaning out your 12-bar blues
That's right motherfucker!

Truth Be Told

Lyrics:
Well, well maybe now’s the time for a little change
I don’t mean what’s inside your pocket, I mean what’s in your brain

I’ve been waiting, anticipating
I’ve been praying all the time
To end this sadness, to end this madness
That is there within our minds

Well, well maybe we could have a little silence
It sounds so much better to me than to hear this violence

I’ve been waiting, anticipating
I’ve been praying all the time
To end this sadness, to end this madness
That is there within our minds

I’ve been waiting, I’ve been waiting a long time
To end this sadness, end this sadness in my mind

I See

Away

Lyrics:
I see the devil in the palace and I see it in the street
I see it in the west and I see it in the east
I can feel it like a dark cloud raining over me
Evil’s a poisonous fume that you choose to breathe

I see the devil in a woman and I see it in a man
I see its face in the money in my hand
I can feel it like a dark cloud raining over me
Evil's a poisonous fume that you choose to breathe

Oh I, I see it everywhere, it’s everywhere, I swear
It’s everywhere, it’s everywhere, it’s everywhere, everywhere I go

I see the devil inside my mind’s head
It wanna be me instead
I can feel it like a dark cloud raining over me
Evil’s a poisonous fume I refuse to breathe

Lyrics:
It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright, it’s been a long, long road a dreamin’ 
It's ok, it's ok, it's ok, it's ok, cos we’ll all get there believe me
One can become so willing, hypnotised by untold things
Fantasised by the beginning, as if such knowledge joy would bring
They like to try to fantasise, slay their friends who criticise 
Feeling righteous, in power and up high

Maybe we all don’t have to be tall
Maybe we don’t have to force our beliefs on each other
Maybe I'll show we are not meant to know
Like an unborn child doesn't need to know its mother

But it don’t matter, no why should you care
These are just dreams in our heads that we share
Just dreams, hallucinations to deny
All we know
Is that light shines and things grow
All that’s real  
Is the moment right now you can feel 
So be sure to feel something positive 
Feeling is all we can choose
If you happen to feel it the opposite
Ask of who stands in your shoes

Oh Satan’ll take you by the hand
You’ll be preaching things you don’t understand
Getting all you folks cloned and clanned my love oh yeah
Oh you gonna wake up one day
Having fought for things you can’t explain
Having spent your life causing pain not love oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah

The heaviest one-man band in the world is back! 

Cam Cole's 3rd album "Unleash" is the result of an incredible journey from the streets of London to stages all around the world. Starting out as a busker on every street corner that would allow him to play, Cam’s videos went viral on social media, earning him a loyal fanbase, millions of streams, a cameo in Emmy winning TV show “Ted Lasso” and subsequent tours and festival slots across the UK, Europe, USA, Canada, Mexico etc, selling out club shows in cities he had never been in before. 

Recorded live at the legendary Rockfield Studios in Wales, supplied only with occasional guitar double tracking and vocal harmonies if the production team found it added to the songs, Cam is taking what is possible with just a guitar and some Farmer Foot Drums further than anyone ever before him. Shifting seamlessly from heavy blues to folk to rock and metal, this 40-minute journey from the dirty opening chords of "Truth Be Told" to the 7-minute rock epic "Home" is a breathtaking ride and sees Cam unleashing all the sounds that accumulated in his head, creating one of the most unique rock albums of 2023 along the way. 

Cam will follow the release up with the Unleash World tour, taking him across the USA, Canada, Australia, Ireland and the UK from September 2023 to April 2024!
