More than a year after "rewind, repeat..." was actually released we'll finally have an LP version of the album. Gatefold cover and all that jazz. This was all made possible by some very kind people we met while on tour in europe...Hannes at POWERTRIP & Sebastian at SHARK MEN.

Pressing Info:
108 Pastel Blue
216 Pastel Yellow
216 Black

You can pre-order the record or a number of packages at the labels myspaces:

For those of you in Australia we will be getting a a small amount of the LP's to sell, it looks like we'll have them by the No Apologies final show, but we'll let you know about that.

Sweet.

if you're having trouble reading the lyrics on the new record...

100 yen

i opened my eyes
to a world of excessiveness
pettiness, mindless greed
made the vow, then and now
never break my stand
common goals not selfish ways
the road i choose to take
against the grain in such status times
these people i cant explain
driven by the dollar sign


window seat

lights are out, blinds are open
everyone sleeps
my eyes, can't close them...
think about endless roads
that lead to empty landscapes
all i see are power lines
monotony, no stranger to me
monotony, no stranger to me
there's a thirst that i cant quench
got a taste like year old batteries
there's a place id rather be
scared to take those first steps
time, the destroyer
watch over me
as i waste away, wait to leave this room
leave my thoughts alone
time, the destroyer
watch over me
trapped inside these four walls
watching life go by



sailors grave

sink or swim
drown in this life, or search for some meaning
drift with the tide
are you gonna sit back, betray your own feelings?
in a city where everyone knows your name
hard to find the spark, keep going strong
gotta shut it all out, break free of self doubt
or just succumb to a miserable cycle
just a clone, a clone i don't wanna be
fight the tide, the tide, of narrow minds
set adrift, waterlogged, gotta take control
storms ahead, living in regret never helps your soul
fucking make me whole
sink or swim
get lost in the waves or take care of business
drift with the tide
if i'm going under, ill fight for survival
i can't stand it, i wont fake it
i wanna walk in fields of gold
i can't stand it, i wont take this
living life in a fucking sailors grave



wake up

everyday i wake up the same
void of feeling and of aim
everyday i taste the defeat
endless cycle so incomplete
running into walls again
chip my teeth on all these bricks
everything's so plain to see
nine til five is hounding me
tow the line, make the dime
stranglehold, i'm not free
there's no way out, were all the same
ripe with self doubt
its just a game, they just maintain
there's no way out
working class life, force fed their shit
we cant escape
there's no way out while they still maintain
we've all been tamed
everyday i wake up the same



cranford ave

memories, way back when
thought i had it all
constant battle going on inside
always getting caught up in before
demons they stay hidden
but they come creeping back
when i'm walking ahead and i feel content
just backtrack
push self destruct when i've had enough
brings me right back
to the place that i know
where i call home, its empty
to the place that i know
the only place, so empty
a witness to my life in a third person view
a witness to my life i just cant take control
retrace my steps year after year
feel it in my soul, i'm not content
push rewind, hit repeat
alarm clocks ring and its groundhog day
i just cant figure out my wrong turns
lost in maps that represent my life
its dragging on, dragging on
i'm losing grip
dragging on, dragging on
i've lost my hold
sanctuary of dead ends that's where ill be
sanctuary of dead ends that's where i…



voices

there are some times in my life everything feels right
don't pay attention, i give it all
there are some times in my life everything feels wrong
i'm hearing voices, they get me down
there are some times in my life everything feels right
there are some times in my life everything feels wrong
and they say all good things must come to an end
i say fuck that they barely even started
drink to find comfort, drink to forget
eleven years later nothing's changed yet
and they say always think about your future
well I don't care, i'm living for the moment
worries for later, those things don't phase me
until they start forcing direction
waiting for the day, searching for a way
gotta find some place that i don't feel failure
what they say, what the say
doesn't make much sense to me
what they say, what they say
it puts me in a state of decline
what they say, what they say
its always what's best for them
when you teach me how to feel
that's when I turn myself off



rising sun

weathered body, saddened face
all the times she's been a phase
trophy life, a useless waste
it will always be her pain
just an object used til dawn
yeah she knows hell never care
everyday so fucking torn
its all shell ever know
settles for second best
every time, every night
crying shame, she aint the same
but it will always be her pain
just an object, used til dawn
yeah she knows hell never care
wasting life spent as a pawn
its all shell ever know
try to give something, get nothing back
wasted your pride, a cheap ride
all she knows is how to be abused
gotta understand there's something more
lay it on the line, lay it on the line
shell never know she's worth so much more
lay it on the line, lay it on the line
shell never know life's worth so much more
you'll never be the one, his only rising sun
you say there's nothing you can do
girl, there's nothing you cant do



excursion
(piss stops & passports)

quit my job, pack my bags
wave goodbye to all my friends
the open road, tour begins
endless weeks without a rest
don't get me wrong i cant complain
travelled the world and seen real life
own nothing but that's just fine
wont regret these priceless years
tokyo to long island
PRINCE OF WALES, vancouver
and everything that's in-between
we are nomads of our own design
not made of money but well never mind
sometimes when i'm miles from home
I feel cold, so alone
then i realize where i'm at
with my friends in a van
these feelings cant be bought
memories forever shared
one day this will end
but im not scared, no i'm not scared



brainwashed

if i blindly followed id be lying to myself
made the best of life with the cards that i've been dealt
gotta say that i've found peace within myself
wont waste time, stand in line, your games i will not play
inside my head the coast is clear
i stand my ground, you'll never change my mind
refuse to wait, i choose my fate
and nothing, nothings in my way
rules and regulations forced inside your head
follow the herd, believe their words
live the fucking lie
inside my head the coast is clear
ill stand my ground got my own life to live
its a brainwash and i see straight through
suckers make you think you've got something to prove
you're fucking brainwashed, everything you do
following the leader like they told you to
brainwashed, you're fucking brainwashed
brainwashed, you've gotta break out



outrage

cant avoid it, enrage me
cross the line, i wont stay still
got the bottle, ill outrage you
you're just a person that don't phase me
anytime you engage me
don't think that i wont fucking face you
every time you make me crazy
don't think that ill keep it shut
cant avoid it, enrage me
cross the line, i wont stay still
got the bottle, ill outrage you
you're just a person that don't phase me



safe as houses

blank page from the start
now it begins, sequel time
feel the breeze of belonging
feelings that i've always craved
november came, december went
january swerved of track
rejuvenated second month
and since then not looked back
i quit the search so long ago
never thought that id return
uncovered a meaning lost inside
problems shared, full of healing
for future reference i am writing these words
bookmark the song, i can always return
a turning point forever be heard
i feel alive from now and beyond
never thought that i would say
three words that mean the world to me
cursed those words four years ago
promised i would take my time
the mountain i have longed to climb
seen the light in your eyes
felt the warmth of your touch
explored a mind of perfection
and i can safely say i've thought long of the days
where our lives would meet and we built our dreams
and i can safely say i've searched long for this day
now its all come true and i feel brand new
we will shine forged anew
we will shine forged anew
what we share paved in stone
in days to come our love will always shine



affidavit

focused concentration, levels never felt before
craving realization
train my mind, don't lose sight
gotta keep the motion
forwards, never look back
now i've made this statement
tendered here for all to see
took so long to find myself, i intend to use this wealth
and this time
i will rise sincerely, above the waste of yesteryear
changes i see clearly, right my wrongs without fear
confidently shading gaps i've ever left blank
furiously painting, sign my name full stop
this is my affidavit, my self mediation
my inner arbitration, my sworn affidavit
find faith within yourself
live life for something true
dont ever waste those dreams
love like a newborn flame
find faith within yourself
live life for someone true
dont ever waste your dreams
love like you can't explain

yooooooooooooooooooooooooo,
its been a while but better late than never right?


first of all, we start recording our new full length at the end of this week stretching into the weekend after at BEGERK! STUDIOS with AL SMITH who we've worked with before on the MAKE IT COUNT EP & BRAINWASHED 7". needless to say we're all very excited to be finally laying down some new songs that we've been busy writing for the last few months. its called "REWIND, REPEAT" and will contain 12 jams, including "brainwashed" and "sailors grave" from the 7". artwork from DAN McCARTHY & the layout will be handled by "HOT" ASH PEDERICK of THE DESIGN THREAT once again. I think the release date is June sometime and it will be released on cd in Australia through RESIST RECORDS and maybe on wax through COMMON BOND RECORDS. the album will also get a worldwide release but we're still figuring that at at the moment. anyway we'll chuck up some mp3's on the page in a couple weeks so you can check that shit out...


second of all MILES AWAY is not breaking up. nick (vocals/rider) is moving to SYDNEY in may/june, but the band will still be actively touring. this will mean less WA shows unfortunately, but they will still happen every now and again...


show-wise we only play once before the album release which is:





so if you're in WA make sure to get a ticket soon because they are selling fast...


after that we have our WA album launch shows over two weekends (15-17th & 22-24th) in JUNE. coming over for these shows will be SHOTPOINTBLANK (SA) and HARD LUCK (ACT), with full supports/venues etc to be announced soon. these will be nick's last WA shows for some time so comedown and bid farewell!


JULY 13-14 we are playing the annual RESIST/TRIAL & ERROR fest in SYDNEY with a bunch of other raging bands such as MINDSNARE, INTERNAL AFFAIRS, NO APOLOGIES, JUNGLE FEVER, 50 LIONS and tons more...check out http://www.myspace.com/hardcore2007festival for more deets





we're in the process of organising a national tour in the months follwing hc07, so stay tuned for more info on that. then later in the year hopefully we'll be hitting JAPAN, THE STATES and for the first time EUROPE, but we'll tell you something when we know...




MERCH - right now we are sorting through all our old boxes of merch and we will put it up on here or ebay as buy it nows once we're done...






if you have read this far well done, sorry these things are always so excruciatingly long but we're so lazy that when we do update there is alot of shit to say. so maybe just maybe you'll see another one of these next year...haha


THANKS
