Track 10 of 10 from the 2011 debut full-length "To Be Announced" by The Boys Apart. Help support and "like" facebook.com/theboysapart ;purchase at itunes.com/theboysapart

Notes: Out of all of our songs, we spent the most time writing/arranging this one (over a month). Unlike our other songs, this one started with the bridge (Chris and Nathan's double solo), then came Nathan's groovy lick in the verse, and went from there. We feel this song is the most dynamically diverse - it has a bit of everything - so it's one of my favorite songs and the one we chose to end the album with. 

Deep Into Your Trap

Track 9 of 10 from the 2011 debut full-length "To Be Announced" by The Boys Apart. Help support and "like" facebook.com/theboysapart ;purchase at itunes.com/theboysapart

Notes: This is the 5th song we wrote. It started with Adam wanting to work with a new tempo (212 instead of our common 190). He came up with the intro beat, Chris came up with the riff and it went from there. One of our heavier songs, this is the only one to have a screaming part and what one could consider a "breakdown". After we wrote it, Jake said he would continue to limit his screaming to one part of one song on our future albums. We're a pop punk band at heart and will only get catchier, not heavier. 

Wait Up

Notes: After writing "Wait Up", we wanted our next (6th) song to be more poppy. This song only took us a few hours to write, and coincidentally we think it's one of the most simple and catchy tracks on the album (after "It's Too Late", which we also spent just a few hours writing). We consider this song our 3rd single after "It's Too Late" and "Place Your Bets or Go Home".  

Life Goes On

Notes: This is the 4th song we wrote, and the only one to be in 3/4 time other than "All Out of Love". It started with Chris' riff in the verse. We used to refer to this song as "Arnold Schwarzenegger as Mr. Freeze" because Nathan would say "Everybody chill" at the start of the song. We were considering putting that sample from the movie in the intro, but decided against it. This song had the most entertaining stage presence due to Nathan's large repertoire of dance moves and his and Jake's homoerotic interactions during their vocal exchange. 

Saving Your Throat

Notes: This is the final song we wrote for the album, and also the longest. During the entire album writing process we were wanting at least one slow song. The original 5th song we wrote was slow but we ended up scrapping it because Chris felt it wasn't as good as our others (the only song we ever scrapped). Chris came up with the intro of this track, or as we called it "the Halloween riff", around the time we were writing our 8th and 9th songs. It took awhile to write this song but we feel it came out great and is one of our favorites. We also found it to be a common favorite among our friends who like more ambient and experimental music. We plan on having more songs like this on our future releases.  

All Out of Love

Track 4 of 10 from the 2011 debut full-length "To Be Announced" by The Boys Apart. Help support and "like" facebook.com/theboysapart ;purchase at itunes.com/theboysapart

Notes: This is the first song written by The Boys Apart. Chris came up with the guitar parts years before the band formed but had never used them. I feel this is one of the songs that best utilizes Jake and Nathan's vocal trade offs, and intend to have more of this on future albums.  

Easy Living Competition

Track 1 of 10 from the 2011 debut full-length "To Be Announced" by The Boys Apart. Help support and "like" facebook.com/theboysapart ;purchase at itunes.com/theboysapart

Notes: The 9th song we wrote, Chris came up with the chorus riff during the writing of the bridge of "Deep Into Your Trap". This song is one of my favorites due to the unconventional arrangement, sonic diversity and the intense buildup in the bridge. 

You Wanted One More

Notes: The 3rd song we wrote, "It's Too Late" again started with Chris' intro riff. Next to "Life Goes On", this song came to us the fastest - just a few hours - and we feel it is the catchiest on the album. This is our first single, followed by "Place Your Bets or Go Home" and "Life Goes On". 

It's Too Late

Track 2 of 10 from the 2011 debut full-length "To Be Announced" by The Boys Apart. Help support and "like" facebook.com/theboysapart ;purchase at itunes.com/theboysapart

This is the 7th song we wrote and the one that made us decide we would be writing a full-length instead of just an EP (originally we weren't sure which to do). It started with Chris' intro riff. This song is our 2nd single, and one of my favorites due to the guitar progression and complex drumming. 

Place Your Bets or Go Home

Track 6 of 10 from the 2011 debut full-length "To Be Announced" by The Boys Apart. Help support and "like" facebook.com/theboysapart ;purchase at itunes.com/theboysapart

Notes: This is the second song we wrote. Like most of our others it started with Chris' intro riff. In the studio, our producer Andy recorded Jake saying "That sounded perfect" and Nathan saying "Yeah, they did sound perfect" after the first chorus. He also recorded Jake laughing before the 3rd chorus. We thought all this was funny and showed our personality so we decided to keep it in.
