LYRICS:
. THE WILLFUL SUSPENSION OF DISBELIEF

You're setting sail, never thought you'd get wet, regret, the rise and fall of every slippery breath, instead. And I believed it all.

You're on a high, staring down at the blue sky, deny the slight of hand, covers over in gray, a stay.

And I believed it all The devil and the dawn It all, the wicked and the rise and the fall of it all.

Took out a sign, you cant miss it from the highway, the skyway It rolls at night over the passers by inside

And I believed it all ...the dog and all the bones It all, the wicked and the rise and the fall of it all It all, the devil and the dawn It all, the wicked and the rise and the fall of it all

Don't wanna set you right, I want a drag of that cigarette. Don't wanna see you around, I wanna live on your front porch steps. Give in , yeah, give in yeah, give in.

Pulp and science fiction, it takes a special skill to keep conviction Still running round the city caped in bed sheets , you wouldn't take off for any reason. 
a light to catch your eyes on, they only ever fix on one horizon

And I believed it all ...the dog and all the bones It all, the wicked and the rise and the fall of it all It all, the devil and the dawn It all, the wicked and the rise and the fall of it all

"The sound is bright, breezy and poppy on the surface, and under laid by a tight punk-rock-orientated rhythm section. It’s upbeat, accessible stuff, but there’s still enough grit.."  Rockrealms.com

“The EP ‘SALT’ will have listeners craving more than four exceptionally crafted songs….” — Rock Wired Magazine

"I feel that The Locals light up each track on 'Salt' with an energy that parallels that of early punk artists"  ---- Nufutur.com
