No Place Like Home

sunspot@sunspotmusic.com (Sunspot) — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 06:05:05 PDT

Everyone wants to escape their small town, everyone thinks they're a fish out of water or a man out of time.

But sometimes the last place you want to be is the place where you belong the most.

This one has a Police meets U2 meets Weezer vibe.

Lyrics and download available at: http://sunspot.bandcamp.com/track/no-place-like-home

Grand Guignol

sunspot@sunspotmusic.com (Sunspot) — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 11:26:37 PDT

"Grand Guignol" is a hard rock anthem about the people who just have to make a big deal out of everything.

Le Theatre du Grand-Guignol was where Parisians used to go to get shocked. They specialized in naturalistic horror plays that were over-dramatized, ridiculous, and over the top. It now comes to mean any gruesome or gory drama or event.

We all know at least one person who loves to turn every night into drama night, and this song is for them.

You can download the MP4 of the video right here and download the MP3 and check out the lyrics right here.

Full lyrics and the MP3 is available for download at http://sunspot.bandcamp.com/track/hypnogogic and the video is available for download at http://www.sunspotmusic.com/roadmania/Hypnogogic.mp4
