Current mood:  jedi
 What up peeps
 The Villanova traveling circus is once again on the move. We just got back from a very fun and productive New York trip and are ready to freakin rock. We now have 6 new songs completed and mastered courtesy of Mr. Rick Beato (atlanta producer Shinedown, Trey Anastasio, Vince Neil, Bonecrusher, Creed etc.) and are about to record 4 to 5 more to finish up the new record. Some of the new songs are available for your listening pleasure right here on good old myspace and facebook. Look for all 6 new songs exclusively on I-tunes for download and expect a brand spanking new cd in physical glory to hit stores late february early march. As for live shows we will be back on the road hard non-stop first of the year with some select shows in Nov. and Dec. so watch out for us and we will see you in your town soon!
much love!

Speakers Bumpin'

Step back y'all

Get back get back y'all

Bout to have myself a heart attack y'all

So stressed out I'm bout to snap y'all

Say another word and I'll smash your glass jaw

It's time to take my guitar off the rack y'all

Rock that thing from front to backward

Let me see you shake it straight up on the dance floor

Shake that thang 'til you make it hurt

Time to put that backside to work

I got my speakers bumpin' from block to block y'all

Gotta keep this feelin' alive I got y'all

Fever buck wild tonight

Ain't gonna call you to apologize

Got the fever I got the fever

I love this freedom

Forget these nay-sayers I don't need 'em

Don't forget

Ain't gonna stop until I'm through with it

There's only so much you can take

Before you just start to break

There's one thing left to contemplate

What do you feel at the end of the day?

Is it discontent, contempt, and rage

Do you feel like you're about to suffocate

If you feel like you're about to suffocate

Here's a fresh breath to resuscitate

I got a bass drum bumpin' through the floor

'Bout to tear the neck off of my guitar

Sometimes a cut song can be your best friend

So tell somebody you'll be home tomorrow mornin'…

CHORUS

Slade Stone

Slade Stone was a rebel from the back wood

Raising hell since the day he was born

His mama raised him listening to country

Introduced to the new record store

Later on he started getting into music

Formed a true hellfire blues band

He was smooth, he was loose, he was true to his roots

You never heard a better sounding slow hand

He got his bags packed up and the van gassed up

A Stratocaster and his tapes tracked up

Said it's time it's time to warn ya

Movin South Carolina to California

Record labels are paper chasing debating to break him and some are

makin mistakes and just daily turn him away

He won't give up he keeps his head up

he's damn near fed up until one day

People pick up the paper and take a look at the head lines and

Can't even believe it seeing it their own eyes

Reading it from left to right "a country boy can survive"

Rockabilly belt buckle brass knuckle punch singer single handedly

Manages to change the whole industry livin life for the

Rock-n-Roll endlessly comin up with the top the charts chemistry

This is what I was born to be

I've never wanted something so badly

This is what I was born to do

Now get out of my way and watch my dreams come true

One day she walked right through the door

Bass drum bumped right thru the floor

Fresh tight packed straight out the box

Way too punk for punk rock

She got a toned up body covered by a dress that was

Black and violet dark painted eyes that were so hypnotic

He could not explain her ways

He said hello there and told her

my name is Slade Stone and now you know that supposed to

be on my way now to California

where I can stomp up on the stage like a soldier

 

My Calling

You could write your story down
Words straight from your mouth

Publish them out
Publish them and get a grip on mortality
You could study therapy
You could learn to free humanity
From everyday stress and monotony


Cuz' I've already found my calling
I've already found my calling
And they might say I'm crazy just for living
Like I do but I will follow you

You could watch a child be born
Call it all your own

Keep him from harm
Watch him become a version of you

You could start an enterprise with your family ties
You realize nobody wants to fail in their father's eyes
There's not a single past day I would ever trade for anything

Looking back now some of my favorite days
I can't believe I ever said I want it to end
I'm sorry for the things I said back then
I'm so blessed to have a brother and a best friend

You could sing a southern song stringing love along with your guitar into The country hall of fame where you belong
You could sing a melody and so easily capture the thing that lies in the Hearts of the main stream

Better Deal

Bring me a better deal

Tell me somethin' that you know what I want to hear

Tell me that you'll make my problems disappear

Tell me that you're gonna take me from what I've become

Did you ever feel like you were just doing the same thing

Pursuing the same dreams and

Moving the same way

Feel like you're living over the same day

Keep on do what you doing to maintain

Push so hard you're about to fall

Can't even laugh no more without the alcohol

Past the point of even walking tall

Half the man that you were before

And you fade

And you fade

CHORUS

The Hollywood life

Hollywood lies

Screamin' drive out west and get a piece of the pie

The Hollywood life

Hollywood lies

You get messed up and then you have a good time

Get messed up and then you have a good time

Get messed up and then you have a good time

You don't wanna die alone

Withering and wilting inside your home

You don't want to put up with people's games

You got beauty and you've got youth

But it fades

And it fades

CHORUS

Lately I've been having trouble holdin' on

Lately I've been having trouble standin' strong

Would you be that one who prays for me in the night?

My mama said 'Find someone to share your life'

Cause it fades

And it fades

 

What Happened

I've got scars deep and wide

Ugly as hell and hard to hide

But I roll just like a double die

I take my chances when I find them

Watch my problems multiply

Stackin' on up straight to the sky

And I just sit back steady laughin'

And you just can't believe what's happening now

Drag me to the sea

Lay me down straight on the beach

Flesh on my flesh melt together

Relieve me of this pressure

I used to sleep so easily

I used to breathe so easily

What happened to me now what happened

I used to hold my head up high

I used to love to live me life

What happened to me now what happened

I've got stars in my eyes

Fading with the sands of time

Someday fade out all together

Save me from falling forever

Watch me gain control

Blowin' out smoke rollin' down the road

I loaded up my truck and I'm rollin' on

And I found myself now I'm rollin' home

To hear you complain

Come on and lay it on me like the pourin' rain

I'm gon' be the one that you'll forever blame

I'm gon' be the one to outrun the game

CHORUS

I blame myself

Yes I do

It keeps me from blaming

You

 

In Good Time

Don't you know you dig deep in my soul

Breaking me down as I bleed

As soft as your smile is

You cut me into pieces like you're loveless

Don't you know you got something I want

Don't you know you got something I need

When you walk in the room

Tell me baby

Why I can barely breathe

I'm gon' try to make you love me

I'm gon' try

To make you mine

If you find your standards are above me

That's alright, that's alright,

I'm gonna get you in good time

I can't explain the way I played the game

And got the loosing hand

Cries of a loosing man

Echo through my mind

Clouded my perception

Crowded my direction

And all the while baby

Feeding my obsession

Now did ya

Paint a picture with your canvas

With your burning candles of me

In my broken home

Cause I can feel it in me deeply

When you go and leave me

Love is like a rolling stone

Make Noise

You have built these walls around you now they're falling down

And now the woman that you live with is about to kick you out

You would climb the highest mountain to make your father proud

but can't seem to get your feet up onto solid ground

you feel like you've got the word loser written on your face

you do what you can do just to get through your day

but you know that this music is your saving grace

and all the while your lifetime slips away

don't you know your life is short

forget those things you can't afford

make noise (x2)

get your backs up off the wall

let me see it all of y'all

make noise (x2)

one day a memory is all we'll have

and a memory is all we'll be

I'd like to put that ripple in the water

and let that ripple spread across the sea

and let it speak to me

it comes right in and just releases me

it comes into my heart and reaches me

in comes into the dark and sets me free

it gives me peace

I don't know what it means to succeed

But if deep down it makes you feel free

Then it's all that you need

Free is what I want to be

Is what I need to be

Free from everything

In my life that

Brings me to the ground

I want to turn my life around

turn my life around

get free, free now

live free

 

Disown Me

Disown Me Disown Me

Look how you take the blame and put it on me

Look how you shake your fist in which to stone me,

Control Me, so high up on yourself you've got a nosebleed

Yeah now use me abuse me

Look at the way you deeply try to bruise me

Look at the way you shake my hand then screw me,

Confuse me, your bound to spit me out after you chew me

I'm not gonna be able to live like that

I'm not gonna be able to start again

Well I'm alone again feeling sick

I lost my head violently screaming

Release me Release me

I'm pleading to these demons to release me

I'm feeling like my leaving will relieve me

Believe me I'm ready to free myself completely

Yeah I shutter my brother

Living in the shadow of another

Living as a child needed a mother

Discover, the weight of the world up on my shoulders

Disown me I thought I told you now disown me

Well I'm gonna put it in the Lords hands

Please don't let me run out of gas run out of gas

You do what you need to do to keep calm

In the eye of the storm I realize

That I'm looking forward to Sunday morning rise

And now I'm all alone with the coming storm

Face to face with the demons I was born with

Waiting for it moment to moment to pass over

But I'm on the rollercoaster for the long ride

But fear is my friend is my fire

 

Memory

I had a friend named Brad

I called him 'Bwed'

He tried to save a drowning girl and drowned himself

And I'm proud

That he was my friend

He died a hero so brave 'til the very end

He was tall and lanky

And different just like me

He wore a big bright smile

And damn sure wasn't scared of nobody

It's just another memory I can't forget

And I'm living out each moment in regret

I know that I will see him once again

North Carolina covered in red clay

It's where the foundation of a young man's mind was shaped

When you're young and dumb with too much pride

you don't realize this fragile life

you take for granted spendin' time

Take for granted your bloodline

The hardest thing is when your teachers lay to rest

But the love in their words I'll never forget

It's just another memory I can't forget

And I'm living out each moment in regret

I know that I will see them all

again

 

Players Life

She said 'I want to be the strings on your guitar,

Cause I just want to be right where you are'

I said girl those sure are sweet words that you speak

But I change my guitar strings once a week

Playin' comes first in a players life

Everything else to the back of the line

Grandma said I'm gonna die alone

But I'm by myself, feeling fine

I thought it out I'm not about

To quit my six-string strummin' for no woman

Kick me out your life and I'll

Hit the ground runnin'

To the next step

Probably my best bet

sometimes it's best just to change direction in your life

Take time for reflection in your life

Take time for connection to your mind and body

But I'm not gonna change my ways for nobody

Never ever gonna jump ship for nobody

Never ever gonna wanna run up another path

And I'll compromise my life for nobody

It's time for my confidence

To rise up on top of this

Knock this nonsense up off of this

Rock with Jeremy Roberson

Bobby and Able One

Music phenomena

Best believe my people keep it poppin' so prominent

So when you see us either love us or leave us

You don't got love for my squad I don't need ya

Don't speak straight from the heart I don't need ya

Don't like me well I don't like your ass neither…

 

 

Man Alive

Man alive

I can't catch no break

I'm always searching for that happiness

That never stays

I've drawn a line

I don't even know which side to take

It's just not that simple trying to live

Against the grain

But when the love is made

Everything falls right into place

When the love is made

All of my pain just goes away

When the love is made

Everything falls right into place

When the love is made

Another chapter then after turn the page

Turn the page

I've realized

That I'm losing because I'm afraid

I need to move right on to bigger and better things

Before it's too late

And I've realized

That I don't give a damn what they say

Hell no I'm not gon' stop doin' what I'm doin'

For nobody

CHORUS

Take this pressure from me
