Follow the wave to the oceanside. There you’ll find my light, there you’ll find my life. The moon controls the liquids inside of you and the beaches tides too. Inside of you… Penguins got tuxedos and things got fucking weird. Tried to seal the deal but theres sharks no seals around. i said it’s not like it’s a lake not a sound. You’re right, we’re chill like that grilled catfish. Backwoods barn burner, wood fired pizza. Tsunami Eddie Money a title wave of rage just broke. Clean the toilets on your text logs Barry Bonds. Who gives a shit? I can’t believe it. i know this song just not the author. A grilled catfish would know more than we would fired pizza a grilled catfish would know more than we would fires pizza tsunami Eddie Money money

monday morning of course you don’t but your bus comes late and your headphones broke so you hold yer phone up to yer ear and on’t care who stares and when you get there your already late but but the people don’t care and theres no F’in way that you’’ll ever catch a break and so you slip away, I know I would but i’ve got so much regret I guess I won’t be back anytime soon so it’ doesn’t matter anyway. I spent my life fucking running away I can’t put my foot down I won’t put my foot down. I can’t put my foot down I won’t put my foot down. Another friday night and shit ain’t alright and your T.V.’s on and you’re all alone and your headphones broke so your hold up your phone to your ear. Who care who stares there’s no one around. Who care who stares there’s no one around Who care who stares there’s no one around Who care who stares there’s no one around

about

Howardian Olympia, Washington

Howardian is an American pop collective fronted by Ian Vanek (x-Japanther.) The group uses loose poly rhythms, sticky
synth melodies and dynamic vocal hooks to make strange songs for weird people. The resulting infectious art-rock is authentic and catchy. Howardian's tracks feature fuzzy, distorted walls of sound and plenty of samples, all with a scuzzy garage-rock vibe. ... more
