When all this fades away
Where do we go
Somewhere spiritual
Dimensions and beings
Outer body feelings taking hold
Home is the only motive
How to get back to her
Tectonic shifts
Not enough oxygen
It's hard to breathe in here
There's a hallway and lights and open door
And I hear voices and they call me forward

We’re so close to kamikaze
Let's just kill ourselves
Create mass destruction
To medicated to function

Over the limit
Over
Na Na Na
Over the limit
Over

The transcendental law
The unwritten law
Something spiritual
Connection to beings
Devoid of reason
It’s cosmic
It’s written on the wall
Home is the only motive
How to get back to her
Tectonic shifts
Not enough oxygen
It's hard to breathe in here
And there is a reason that we got this close
Snap back but we still hear ghosts

We’re so close to kamikaze
Let's just kill ourselves
Create mass destruction
To medicated to function

Over the limit
Over
Na Na Na
Over the limit
Over

Needful Things

World Ends Everyone Dies (feat. Paul Leary)

Moving Into Tucson is basically the side effect of the COVID epidemic. Why, you will ask. Well for the simple reason that the band was formed during the pandemic. Can you call Moving Into Tucson a band? Well, yes as in, it's a band, with a singer, guitarist, bassist, drummer etc. But also no because it's not a band as usual. Band members do not come from the same city or even country, but from different parts of the world. When the world was in lock-down and many were forced to stay at home, there wasn't much left for musicians to do other than work from home. But, how? And better, with whom? Like for many, Zoom video brought a solution. Fortunately, we live in an advanced digital world and a lot is possible without necessarily having to be somewhere. Only someone who arranges it. This is where the label TCBYML, the label of the various artists in the band Moving Into Tucson, stepped in.  

Result, twenty songs composed over a period of 18 months. These have now been brought together, mixed, mastered and provided with artwork. In 2023, five of them will be released as singles and together with eight more songs will form the album "Distraction" that will see the light on November 24 of this year. A great initiative that may be followed up in 2024. Who's to say.  

Moving Into Tucson's music is comparable to that of the early 90's. The sound that all who participated could very much agree on. Moving Into Tucson is therefore for fans of: REM, Lemonheads, Sugar, The Posies, Buffalo Tom, Teenage Fanclub and the Counting Crows but also reminiscent to bands as U2 or The Police. Recognizable indie pop rock, sometimes dark, sometimes mysterious, or vague, but with depth in the music and certainly in the lyrics.

Moving Into Tucson - Without A Warning

HALF CAB has its roots in punk and hardcore music. With their new songs the band is ready to engage a wider audience without losing their underground ethos. The result is music that is said to have "the energy of punk and the catchiness of pop". 

HALF CAB coming from The Hague, Netherlands is set to release their new EP in May 2024. Pete Maher, UK’s No1 independent mastering engineer gives the songs the power they deserve. Upfront, three songs from the EP will be released as singles. 

First single Rearview is about looking back on things in life. “It all looks simple in the rearview” is the recurring phrase in the song, and somewhat of a summary idea of the EP. Don't worry too much about the past, but focus on the future, no matter how dark and hopeless it may seem.

A Better Place – Light In The Sea EP

With Light In The Sea, A Better Place pull all the threads together. Across four tracks, the band proves why they’ve quickly become one of the most exciting new voices in indie rock.

From the drizzly intimacy of debut single It Rains, to the dreamlike haze of Don’t Mind, and the heartfelt punch of Someday—already spinning on Amazing Radio UK—the songs carry the DNA of ’80s/’90s alt-indie greats like Polvo, Dinosaur Jr., Unwound, Sebadoh, Teenage Fanclub, and The Posies, but with a freshness that’s entirely their own.

New track Remember When completes the story: a slow-burner that starts with gentle guitars and relaxed vocals, before erupting into a midtempo surge of energy. It’s nostalgic and forward-looking all at once, a reminder of why this band resonates so deeply.

Radio stations in the UK, the Netherlands, the US, and Belgium are already tuned in, and live, A Better Place is the kind of band that wins you over in one set flat.

Light In The Sea isn’t just an EP—it’s a statement. Indie rock, recharged and reimagined.
