Mr. Advice (free) 02:42
There’s something weird And I don’t know what I really like you But that’s enough Don’t you get the difference My needs equal your pocket money You make no difference Sometimes that’s a quality And you draw a circle You don’t want us inside You talk like my uncle or my dad You’re mister advice You’re like my uncle or my dad You’re mister advice A talent without humility is nothing Please stop pretending you know everything about anything And you draw a circle You don’t want us inside You talk like my uncle or my dad You’re mister advice You’re like my uncle or my dad You’re mister advice A talent without humility is nothing You can’t pretend to know everything about anything Friends are made for caring and sharing What I don’t... have enough balls to shout I hope you won’t... ever hear me out Now I’m swearing... I’ll always sing it This kind of feeling... already scares me Friends are made for caring and sharing

Golden Cage (free) 02:24
I’m trapped in a golden cage Too far to feel concerned about this growing pain The view is blurry from above But now the shit is getting closer It doesn’t help me to know how to chase this guilty feeling It doesn’t help me find out how to turn a deaf ear again This is no question of ignorance We’re crawling in information here As hard as anyone’s confession I thank my friends who accept the mission It doesn’t help me to know how to chase this guilty feeling It doesn’t help me find out how to turn a deaf ear again

I’ve never been good at breakouts I barely did this myself once Fingers crossed for glory hopes Acting only for the cause I still remember that evening Tears held back and rain falling We even weren’t all there to fire you from the band We’ll never lower the arms We will stick to what we’ve got The journey is the reward You’ll never understand that Your ego’s under attack You don’t know how to react I wrote you this goodbye anthem I hope you’re not too far to hear it These are a bunch of sentences aimed at a friend or so-called dick I don’t wanna change anybody ‘cause some did try to change me But it’s your fault if it’s over You can’t betray a betrayer We’ll never lower the arms We will stick to what we’ve got The journey is the reward You’ll never understand that Your ego’s under attack You don’t know how to react

Are you trying the best you can to keep discovering new sound? Our content provided on demand might be a way to solve your problem Here in your city Close to your home There is a band who’s rehearsing Here in your city Next to your job There’s a show you are missing Gimme more, gimme more, gimme more sound Seems like it’s free of charge today Gimme more, gimme more, gimme more sound You wouldn’t buy it anyway Gimme more, gimme more, gimme more sound Radio keeps broadcasting the same The same old shit mixed with new as well There are so many ways to run from this hell But will you make the first step, take the first step? Here in your city Close to your home There’s a band who’s rehearsing Here in your city Next to your job There’s a show you are missing Gimme more, gimme more, gimme more sound Seems like it’s free of charge today Gimme more, gimme more, gimme more sound You wouldn’t buy it anyway Gimme more, gimme more, gimme more sound

Dead Pixels 03:23
Enlarge your vision because we’re on the side Enlightenment forgot us all Would you support a team that always loses? Don’t you support a team that always loses? In my opinion we are a kind of scars A few dead pixels in the background I really hope that you know what you’re losing I hope that you know what you’re losing Like a fly on your HD screen Think twice when you squash it And when we disappear You won’t even notice Do you prefer watching? Do we make you laugh? At least we’re trying You could help us out Caring for who’s behind and always help them Caring for who’s behind and always help them We’re science-fiction We’re shooting stars A few dead pixels in the background I really hope that you know what you’re losing I hope that you know what you’re losing A fucking fly on your HD screen Think twice when you squash it And when we disappear You won’t even notice

Will you make some sense to those past events Nothing ever seems to bore you Nothing ever seems to frighten you Who am I turning into? You work all day for no reason You surely miss some vacation A single life is not enough Where can I buy some time to spend? Time... lack of time is a good place to hide You work all day for no reason You surely miss some vacation A single life is not enough Where can I buy some time to spend?

Tommy Gavin 03:15
It's lying inside of me I carry it everyday One false step and in a second I would die Just like hundreds of friends of mine I'm feeling secure I don't need help I can't tell if i'm sure if I'd really give my life Just like thousands of friends of mine A new addiction and then what's coming next? I can deal with fire I can deal with fire Counting on me you promised me to death As far as I remember I can deal with fire I can deal with fire It's always been like this It still goes on like this It always ends up like the second I would die Among hundreds of friends of mine Collecting addictions to the point of no return I don't care 'cause in a second I will die Among thousands of friends of mine A new sensation and then what's coming next? I can deal with fire I can deal with fire Counting on me you promised me to death As far as I remember I can deal with fire I can deal with fire

Unbelieve 02:35
Am I so? Am I so old? That I can’t handle it Handle the microphone I’m getting bored By my own words By my own chords I just can’t I can’t stand The way I’ve got no talent It’s a shame After ten years This lack of comfidence Let’s unbelieve almost everything that’s told Unbelieve me Unbelieve them Let’s unbelieve almost everything that’s told Turn back the things the way they were when we were young I know I know what I need I need no more questioning It comes and goes In between phases of believing Let’s unbelieve almost everything that’s told Unbelieve me Unbelieve them Let’s unbelieve almost everything that’s told Turn back the things the way they were when we were young

Can’t tell why you’re feeling fine As you are starting the month without a dime Is it a good way to react When everything slides out from its path We just want to help you through this But you don’t mind Your pride is a treasure you keep You dig your own grave not leading your life You’ve been fiddling the figures for much too long You’ll never admit it About the amount of months you’ve spent on the dole You’re gonna regret it We will never have faith in you at all Yes you do deserve it And as usual we’ll go through this You will never see the end of it ‘til the next round In a certain way We are all like this Chained to our fate Lying about numbers How are we supposed to react When we all slide out from our path We just want to help you through this But you don’t mind Your pride is a treasure you keep You dig your own grave not leading your life You’ve been fiddling the figures for much too long You’ll never admit it About the amount of months you’ve spent on the dole You’re gonna regret it We will never have faith in you at all Yes you do deserve it And as usual we’ll go through this You will never see the end of it before you die

about

Premier album long format pour les orléanais, pétri de multiples influences sans nécessairement marcher dans les pas d'un groupe ou d'une scène en particulier. Citons tout de même Pretty Girls Make Graves, Fugazi, Biffy Clyro, Cursive ou Standstill histoire de situer le propos de DevonMiles. Enregistré par Pit Samprass (Burning Heads) et masterisé par Nick Zampiello et Rob Gonnella (Torche, Against Me!, Cave In, Isis, Kid Kilowatt…), l’album sort en septembre 2012 au format CD et numérique sur Opposite Prod, label des Burning Heads.
