the frey In some ways it's not as consistent as their first EP, but the closer, title track 'Freak Show' was probably ATQO's best single track. Stunning. Favorite track: Freak Show.

Now the wheel of time has spun around again and back to one strangers faces and an endless roar Now the pitch has reached its peak Can't always turn the other cheek familiar faces and a never ending roar Some things never seem to change It's a sign of the times, sign of the times There's the measure of a man counted on a withered hand ashen skin far duller than before Frightened voices caution me He sees through eyes that cannot see The wheel is spun again, and an endless roar

Valentina 04:13
Valentina, the spirit of all things beautiful in this world are woven together into one intricate fabric of you and subtly woven in those threads, the heavens and hells of the bloom, the halcyon fortitude of faith, and the conquering vigor of love. Valentina, this is our world, made for lovers, from our dreams, Valentina, this is our world, this is our world Valentina, the spirit of these unbalanced thoughts and words, are far better coalesced within intimate moments of hush, the delicate arras of your lips, the uneven ridges of your spine, and the poetry in your eyes, unspoken, the words never fade. Our entangled breathing, spirit's plumes enwreathing, our alcove, our bower, whilst the dying cower, our repose, our sanctum in the shadow's hour.

Freak Show 05:42
Desire, courage and faith, against these odds The alter of legend, the foot of departed gods Desire, desire, a shield against despair The terror of failure a burden we must bear. We are the freak show. Power, riches, and fame, the stranger's call The echo of laurels, precursor to the fall Desire, desire, a strange vocation When trembling, this life seems a rare sensation We are the freak show. Desire, courage, the brutal truth of odds The alter of failure, the death of all our gods We are the freak show.

about

Always the Quiet Ones Liverpool

"Effortlessly swinging between Oceansize- esque progressive rock, Butterfly Effect-like epic alt rock or simply fuzzy Smashing Pumpkins riffing the band are close to unstoppable. Live, they are a multi-headed monster of rock, drawing sizable crowds across the Northwest and, soon, the country. Check them out now while they are playing to a hundred people rather than a thousand." --HIGH VOLTAGE ... more
