Everyone's a criminal, just ask the boys in blue.

Criminals is the youth-revolution brainchild of Brett Hornall (Vox/Bass), Swayzelhoff (Guitar/Vox), & Nolan Nielsen (Drums/Vox). The band knew they had written a song that would grab attention by its aggressive riffs and feel, which is why the band decided that the lyrics should reflect the movement against violence in North America over the past 5 years.

More than a song, “Too Close” is an expression. Feeling boxed in, out of control and starved of choice is a potent emotion we’re all too familiar with. The moments that galvanize us can sometimes be the same moments that destroy us. It’s about that situational tipping point that we obsess over, but ultimately can’t control. You seem to get closer as you run away from your problems while you watch others on the same, repeating a loop. Like cars on the other side of an anxious highway.

You can turn around and head the other direction before you’ve gone too far, but sitting still is never an option. Your mind will race as you find your place because you fear by the time you have it figured out, it will be too late. Our new song expresses this with it’s scrappy, disco-rock vibe and poignant lyrics. Everything is always what it seems, so don’t get too close...

============


(Verse One)

Too close, you’re out of control
Don’t listen, don’t wanna know
What you’ve got has already slipped away

So sweet, more of it please
Nobody listens to me
Nobody listens to me at all

(Verse Two)

Generational discrepancies
Boot-strappin’ but I’m on my knees
I’d pay the price but giving it up is free

Low blow but it’s good to know
Ya want the best for me, you told me so
But nobody listens to me at all 

(Pre Chorus)

Everything is always what it seems, it seems my friend
Everything is always what it seems, it seems my friend
Everything is always what it seems, it seems my friend
Everything! Yeah yeah!

(Chorus)

Everyone who wants to stay, we started here on every day
And everyone who wants to go, the lights are out and there’s no one home
And everybody always says, the days go on and they never end
And everywhere it seems there’s something stuck there in-between this mess

(Post Chorus)

Woooo ooh oh ooooh!
Woooo ooh oh ooooh!

Too Close

The Noolands are an eclectic group of longtime Canadian friends from Barrie Ontario with a tendency to float between rock genres and yet still maintain a uniquely focused and familiar vibe. Over the last 5 years, the group cultivated their fanbase organically from the ground up with two EPs, rounds of singles and music videos, eventually producing two charting songs, sold out shows & festivals around Canada and becoming a beloved staple of their hometown music scene and beyond. Their latest nostalgic summer release 1992 melds sounds similar to Vampire Weekend, Arcade Fire and Wilco with the unstoppable momentum of Oasis. The song explores the fear of change and accepting troublesome parts of who we are. Remaining on the outskirts of the industry, the band continues to quickly maneuver obstacles together and freely change direction to continue deepening their connection with friends and fans in a new world with many new songs...
