Thomas Anderson Gritty opener in "Puttin' Up A Fight" that kicks off a really solid rock record. Kind of a swing and swagger that I like here. The vocals are passable, but do work in a gritty sort of way. Favorite track: Puttin' Up A Fight.

How can you begin to determine what is right? When you've never wronged, or even had to put up a fight. How can you stand there all in smiles? When you've never been lonely, not even for a little while. The world is crumbling down all around us, we've gotta put aside our greed and lust. Settin' aside our differences ain't easy, especially in a world that's gone totally crazy. Warm Decembers, freezing Summers, you know I've gotta do what's right. Fight the power, today that ain't easy, you know it must be time. How can you begin to understand your fate? When you bury the axe and forget about yesterday. How can you stand there all in smiles? When you've never been lonely, not even for a little while. The world is crumbling down all around us, we've gotta put aside our greed and lust. Settin' aside our differences ain't easy, especially in a world that's gone totally crazy. Warm Decembers, freezing Summers, you know I've gotta do what's right. Fight the power, today that ain't easy, you know it must be time.

You say you've got love for hire, well you know that's money earned. There is no smoke without fire, but you still know you're gonna get yourself burned. I think we've had a miscommunication, yeah. There ain't a chance in hell we're gonna work this out. What do I gotta do to make you understand me, and what I'm about? Sha Chika Ahh There's a hole in my heart that needs to be filled by a love like yours. There's a place in my soul that needs to be sold, you know that's for sure. You severely underestimate the love I have for you. But still I stand here when I ain't gotta clue what I gotta do. You say you'll be mine for an hour, well you know that's money earned. You can't have love without power, but you've gotta fight to get yourself heard. I think we've had a miscommunication. There ain't a chance in hell we're gonna work this out. What do I gotta do to make you understand me, and what I'm about? Sha Chika Ahh There's a hole in my heart that needs to be filled by a love like yours. There's a place in my soul that needs to be sold you know thats for sure. You severely underestimate the love that I have for you. But still I stand here when I ain't gotta clue what I gotta do, baby! There's a hole in my heart that needs to be filled by a love like yours. There's a place in my soul that needs to be sold you know that's for sure. You severely underestimate the love that I have for you. But still I stand here when I ain't gotta clue what I gotta do.

As I walk the dark and lonely road just trying to find you. I'm so afraid I'll be on my own, I just wanna be here for you. Cause hard times they will come and go, but with you they always stay. So come on and take a walk with me, I just wanna take you away. Cause I'm all alone when I'm with you, so stop turning your back on me. Love hurts and I know that I will too, if you can't stop saying those things to me. Cause our love is a heartache waiting to happen, you can tell by the sound of my voice its real. Lies filled with desperation and sadness, don't tell me how I make you feel. I'm all alone when I'm with you, yeah. You say this, and you say that; but words don't mean nothing at all. I take the time to think bout' what we had, and how you had to go and trash it all. Cause hard times they will come and go, but with you they always stay. So come on and take a walk with me, I just wanna take you away. Cause I'm all alone when I'm with you, so stop turning your back on me. Love hurts and I know that I will too, if you can't stop saying those things to me. Cause our love is a heartache waiting to happen, you can tell by the sound of my voice its real. Lies filled with desperation and sadness, don't tell me how I make you feel. I'm all alone when I'm with you, yeah.

Ready Or Not 04:17
I never do as I'm told, I'm not the one you sought. How can you be so cold, when you're love's so hot? I may be a little young for you, but maybe I'm not. It's gonna be up to you to chose, if I'm ready or not. Cause I can't stop this crazy feeling, fallin' over me. Cause I can't stop this dream I'm dreamin', far away from me. Won't you show me the meaning of love, take me to the top. You'll be there when the push comes to shove, don't you make this stop. Won't you show me the meaning of love, right where it hits the spot. Tell me when you've had enough, am I ready or not? Take me to your hotel room, before the night is lost. Two AM and I can't seem to lose, I'm out to pay the cost. Tossin' the dice and it's up to you, right now I'm at a loss. Its gonna be up to you to chose, if I'm ready or not, whoa. Cause I can't stop this crazy feeling, fallin' over me. Cause I can't escape this dream I'm dreamin', far away from me. Won't you show me the meaning of love, take me to the top. You'll be there when a push comes to shove, don't you make this stop. Won't you show me the meaning of love, right where it hits the spot? Tell me when you've had enough, am I ready or am I not? Whoaa Whoaaa Shananana! Won't you show me the meaning of love, take me to the top. You'll be there when my push comes to shove, don't you make this stop. Won't you show me the meaning of love, right where it hits the spot? Tell me when you've had enough, am I ready or am I not? Yeah!

Love To Hate 03:44
Everywhere I go it's like I'm walking on broken glass. I hate the feeling of always having to watch my back. Oh I poured my heart out to you but you didn't even ask. Cause each and every breath you breathe may very well be your last. Try and tell that I love you, but you turn the other way. Try and tell you that I'm sorry, but you send me on my way. Warn you of the dangers you face everyday. But you push me away, pretend its okay, No I don't know how things got this way. But I don't want them to remain. Seems to me you're in the business making me your full game. Seems to me you just love to hate. Every time I see you my feelings never change. Love you but I hate you, but to me they're both the same. My heart always beats much faster when I hear you say my name. Just to play in your little game. Fell into the wrong crowd, you got kicked outta place. You act like you don't need me, its a slap in the face. My heart turns to glass when I think of the friendship we made. But time after time you say you're doing okay No I don't know how things got this way. But I don't want them to remain. Seems to me you're in the business making me your full game. Seems to me you just love to hate. No I don't know how things got this way. But I don't want them to remain. Seems to me you're in the business making me your game. Seems to me you just love to hate.

Meadow Rave 03:34
Gonna tell you about a nightmare, or maybe it was a dream? I can't remember if I was there, maybe that's just the way it seems. Cause we were walking the shadows of the moonlight, we're not leavin' til dawn. I open my eyes to see all the lights shinin', we're all here but we're all gone. Cause our love is crumblin' to pieces, I know, we'll never be the same. And when I see your face in the mirror, I know I'm going just a bit insane. I'm in a meadow rave. I'm in a meadow rave. People have been talking for too long, you should know what they think. You're all I want but I may be wrong, but I've been right about everything. We were walking the paths in the darkness, the skyline's on the horizon. It's all good till our love starts sparking, and we've gotta get down our timing. Cause our love is crumblin' to pieces, I know, we'll never be the same. And when I see your face in the mirror, I know I'm going just a bit insane. I'm in a meadow rave. I'm in a meadow rave.

This is Closed For Repairs first EP, featuring six of the best songs that we play. This album is our own creation of Hard Rock with Modern Influence, and we wrote everyone of these songs ourselves. We wanted to get music out to our fans and to the general public to share the word about us. This whole EP was completed start to finish July 9th 2013 in just 11 hrs, and was recorded live; so this album represents what you would hear coming to one of our shows. No overdubs, no special effects, and no added extras we wouldn't normally do on stage. (With the exclusion of Female Vocals on "What I Gotta Do".) We hope you enjoy this EP as much as we did writing and recording it, if not more. And don't hesitate to share with your friends and family! For more "Closed For Repairs", like us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter, and watch us on Youtube! Thanks again to you the fans, because we wouldn't even be this far without you.
