(Lyrics)
You’re in need of a rescue
Sick of feeling alone
Looking for a new attitude

There's a place we can go
It's not too far away
Where ladies have an infectious glow
And they always want you to stay

Pre-Chorus
Don't sweat the small stuff
Let's refrigerate and chill

Chorus
We’re going to get into a splendid situation
Check out the jam on this here band

As we let our souls expand

Look for that neon sign
That says you are divine
Where you leave your troubles at the door
Yeah, you don't need them anymore

Pre-Chorus
Don't sweat the small stuff
Let's refrigerate and chill

Chorus
We’re going to get into a splendid situation

We’re going to get into a splendid situation
Check out the jam on this here band
Bringing your friends is highly recommended

“Sunsets & Summertime” is a feel-good roots rock celebration of everything we love about the season: grilling out, road trips, mountain views, lazy mornings, and the joy of being with the people who matter most. Released just in time for the summer solstice, the track blends classic Americana grooves with brass-laced warmth and heartfelt vocals to create a breezy, nostalgic mood.

With a solid rhythm section laid down by Mike Lomax (drums) and Wim Becker (bass/guitars), the song is brought to life by a vibrant horn trio — Matt Allen (trumpet), Zach Craigle (saxophone), and Kevin Tall (trombone) — adding soulful punch and a touch of vintage charm. Zak Davis' vocals are earnest and comforting, grounding the track in both emotional sincerity and laid-back cool.

Whether you’re on the back porch with friends or setting out on a weekend getaway, “Sunsets & Summertime” captures that timeless seasonal magic — equal parts road trip playlist, backyard soundtrack, and love letter to long days and golden evenings.

Lyrics:
Been stuck inside all winter long
But now the birds are singing
On a Saturday morning
And the heat beats like a drum

Can’t wait to fire up that grill
With the beer on ice
The shade feels nice
For some summertime chill

Pack up your bags we going to hit the road
Check out a town we never been before
We could ask the locals what they like to do
Or stay in bed and sleep all afternoon

-Chorus-
Your loving’s like the summertime
As long as I got you, I’ll be just fine
Sunsets & Summertime
Like you It’s always on my mind

Let’s hike up to the mountain tops
Stare at the stars when the skyline drops
Friends and family gather at the camp
The fire lights our memories like the perfect lamp

-Chorus-
Your loving’s like the summertime
As long as I got you, I’ll be just fine
Sunsets & Summertime
Like you It’s always on my mind

Sunsets & Summertime

Waste Of My Time" is a poignant exploration of lost dreams and emotional turmoil, wrapped in a soundscape that echoes the haunting melodies of The Cure, the brooding synths of Depeche Mode, and the organic textures characteristic of Dirtwire. The lyrics traverse a landscape of introspection as they delve into themes of regret, pride, and the relentless passage of time.

The song opens with evocative imagery—"first light cuts through the night"—that sets a reflective tone against the chilling backdrop of winter. As the protagonist grapples with feelings of frailty and disillusionment, listeners are drawn into an intimate narrative marked by vulnerability. Lines like "a trove of broken dreams slips away from me" illustrate a deep sense of loss and resignation.

The pre-chorus introduces an animalistic metaphor—a "starving hound roaming the streets," symbolizing desperation and defeat. This imagery resonates throughout as it captures an innate struggle to move forward while being tethered to past hauntings.

The chorus strikes at the heart's despair: “I can see her face but without any eyes,” presenting a haunting figure that embodies unfulfilled desires and unresolved pain. It encapsulates that feeling when something precious becomes elusive—a sentiment many can relate to. The repeated questioning—“when will this haunting cease?”—is both pleading and resigned; it's an anthem for anyone caught in cycles they wish to break free from yet feel powerless against.

Musically, "Waste Of My Time" weaves together alternative rock's emotional depth with electronic undertones reminiscent of 80s synth-pop influences while incorporating earthy instrumentation typical in Dirtwire’s style. The result is a rich tapestry that mirrors the complexity within its lyrics—a blend where melancholy meets resilience.

With its powerful blend of evocative storytelling and atmospheric soundscapes, this track invites listeners on an introspective journey through heartache while urging them to confront their own wasted moments—and perhaps find solace in shared experiences along the way.

WasteOfMyTime

"All Of Me” is an emotionally charged anthem that delves into the depths of devotion and surrender, echoing the intricate soundscapes of alternative rock while drawing influences from atmospheric artists like The Cure and Depeche Mode. The lyrics weave a haunting narrative of passionate love that transcends pain, sacrifice, and an unyielding commitment to another.

The song opens with evocative imagery set against a “darkened path,” inviting listeners into a world where vulnerability meets unwavering loyalty. Lines such as “take me to task, I’ll submit to help you rise” convey a willingness to endure hardship for the sake of love—a theme that resonates deeply throughout the track. This initial surrender creates an intimate atmosphere as it explores the complexities of relationships marked by both light and shadow.

In vibrant contrast, the second verse transports us to ethereal realms: “we’re in a castle in a vacant ballroom floor.” Here, passion dances through imagination while hinting at fantasy intertwined with reality. This juxtaposition enriches the song’s emotional landscape—merging moments of blissful escapism with raw sincerity.

With each pre-chorus leading into its powerful chorus—“all of you is all of me”—the listener feels enveloped by an undeniable intensity. The repetition emphasizes how complete devotion can consume one’s identity; it speaks to losing oneself within another person while celebrating their profound connection.

The latter verses take on darker undertones as they reveal an acceptance of pain: “I’ll take the blows you give me if it means you want me more.” This willingness to endure suffering for love’s sake underscores themes often found in passionate relationships where desire intertwines with sacrifice. Imagery like "holding your hand in fire" deepens this exploration, illustrating how love can be both beautiful and excruciatingly painful.

Musically rich and layered, "All Of Me" combines suffocating synths with soaring guitar lines reminiscent of alt-rock's best offerings. Its emotional resonance is matched by its sonic depth—a perfect backdrop for vivid storytelling that pulls listeners into a whirlwind romance filled with both tenderness and turmoil.

Ultimately, “All Of Me” stands as a poignant testament to unconditional love—the kind that embraces every facet from ecstasy to agony—leaving audiences captivated by its haunting beauty long after it fades away.

All Of Me

"Reconcile" fuses introspective lyricism with a mellow, funk-infused groove in the vein of Gorillaz and Red Hot Chili Peppers. The song rides a warm, syncopated bassline and laid-back drum pocket, blending subtle electronic textures with organic instrumentation. The production is intentionally raw, giving it an authentic, slightly lo-fi vibe that complements its lyrical depth.

Zak Davis delivers his vocals with a mix of weary reflection and cool defiance. There's an emotional honesty in lines like “I used to think about drinking Friday night / Now it’s just stay alive” that grounds the song in real-life struggle, while the pre-chorus injects a touch of swagger and humor: “Still got low subs pumping in my trunk.”

The chorus opens up into a soulful and emotionally resonant moment, pushing a message of self-love and perseverance: “You got to love yourself before you can reconcile.” Despite its themes of fatigue and existential grind, the track ultimately lands in a place of uplift and human connection.

With smooth transitions and a consistent groove, “Reconcile” is a meditative, funky anthem for anyone navigating the quiet chaos of adulthood — one that urges you to keep climbing even if the mountain laughs back.

Lyrics:
ry to sleep but the pressure’s deep
Wishing you were someone else
Repeat each day into a ten-year leap
Without a good story to tell
Laughing at the mountain I have to climb
Can’t make good use of time
I used to think about drinking Friday night
Now it’s just stay alive

I’m a little older but wiser
Still running on a hamster wheel
Everybody works hard to go nowhere fast
Trying to make it up that hill
There’s an old man in the mirror
But the same young soul is felt
Try to do right and stay in that fight
Playing with the cards your dealt

Pre-Chorus
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Who’s the one that survives them all
I got gray hair, I got some chunk
Still got low subs pumping in my trunk


Chorus
You got to find a way to make it all worthwhile
You got to love yourself before you can reconcile

Love the ones who say hello
Never turn down a helping hand
Sometimes company is all you need
No words said but you understand
You got to stay in this fight for life
Trust it’ll be alright
If your life is darkness
Move it into light

Pre-Chorus

Started 1991
Oh man that year was so much fun
Going to the local shows
The Utah ska scene had just blown
Forever changing who I am
I'd like to think I'm still that man
Praises to Swim Herschel Swim
To relive that again it's going to take an

Insatiable, Sturgeon, Model Citizen too
From Provo to Ogden to SLC

Something different from the same old tracks
New indie, pop, and rock is cool
But I want to dip my toes in that old school pool like an
