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.

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.

Born and raised in the coastal town of Bournemouth, UK, Charlie Hole’s story began when he heard Damien Rice’s ‘O’ at the tender age of 14. From that first listen, his desire to reach the same emotional depths became clear; realising his ability to create emotive and fearless tracks, learning and evolving throughout.

Finding comfort in beautifully crafted words over effortless melodies, Charlie Hole is nowadays one of the most exciting young singer songwriters around. With a brave and honest voice, tackling relatable subject matters for all audiences, he has already been coined by Rod Stewart as an emerging talent with a gift for writing 'beautiful songs’.

Some words on Boundaries:

"Sometimes you have to really work hard to get a song out, you have to carve away at it for days, and sometimes it’s months or even years before you really start to understand what it’s about. I can spend days on end banging my head against the wall, scratching my pen across pieces of paper, and tearing my hair out over one word or syllable that won’t be beaten into shape. 

Boundaries was one of the rare occasions where a song landed fully-formed in my lap, an effortless birth that felt more like I was setting it free than torturing it out of myself. 

I don’t know where it came from, I don't know why, or how, but Boundaries is about the feeling of being shut out by someone you love, and the feeling of slowly falling away from a person who won’t let you in. There are walls we put up around ourselves to stop us from getting hurt and this song is about realising that sometimes the only person you’re hurting is yourself. There comes a point where the only thing left to do is to move on and that’s why I wrote the song."

LYRICS:

There’s nothing wrong, nothing to hide 
There’s nothing to say if it’s all on your mind 
There’s nowhere to go, no bridge to cross 
There’s nothing to gain when there’s nothing yet lost 
 
But I, I, I, I’d love to love you, I’d love to you 
But I, I, I, I just can’t love you, if you won’t let me love you anymore 
 
So I fall further away from the boundaries 
As cold water slowly surrounds me 
And I won’t let this feeling drown me again 
 
Like the lines you drew in the sand 
I could read you like a book but I still would not understand you 
And like a paper cut, that will not bleed 
‘Cause you tore out the page before it cut you too deep 
 
But I, I, I, I’d love to love you, I’d love to you 
But I, I, I, I just can’t love you, if you won’t let me love you anymore 
 
So I fall further away from the boundaries 
As cold water slowly surrounds me 
And I won’t let this feeling drown me again 
 
So I fall further away from the boundaries 
As cold water slowly surrounds me 
And I won’t let this feeling drown me again
