A brief and rare dive into the politcal...
Latin For Truth is by no means an overtly political band, but like everyone else we each have certain stances we take and are willing to defend. Something I feel strongly about and believe is becoming more and more necessary each day is expansive health care reform in the US. While the “Obamacare” bill that has been passed is far from perfect, it is allowing me to tour full-time this...
thinkin' of some cool bits...
to add to pre-order packages. Would anyone be interested in a book with a pre-order package explaining song lyrics, titles, stories about the making of this record, and musical influences for songs? It’d be around 90 pages long or more, which I know is a lot of reading for a band release but I was just trying to think of stuff I’d be stoked to get from a band. I can only imagine how...
The Author of Everything(lyrics in progress)
“the author of everything”
sleep tonight, tomorrow we take on the sun and all the unpleasantries it’s given us “do you have soul?” “It all depends…” my memory and shadow is the only things that haven’t left So where do I stand? So where do I sleep? If I invest myself would it be worth the energy I fight harder than atlas to lift a smile sometimes we pick ourselves...
Youth Crew Blues(lyrics in progress)
“youth crew blues”
spade the kids too heavy to dream they barely speak, they barely sleep they say, “something good seldom happens” so they bore their friends, they bore themselves ostracize their entire lives to deaden all it’s wonders then what do they have besides the cool blue nothing jazz cigarettes and jaded ears but who’s to say either can get you laid don’t...
personal truth
punk rock isn’t real, neither are my dreams
that’s why I keep both very close to my chest
cause at some point everyone will become aware
then…
catastrophe

we got em
solos and riffs and walking basslines and yells and field hollers and sing alongs and lines upon lines about the great up above and how it’s a southern pyramid scheme for the social ladder
stay safe, stay secure

blurbin' bout YCB
so I usually have a check list for each release, things I need to work into the material. It’s usually a small list but with YCB cause we kept writing, rewriting, trying to find funds to record, then having michael quit and finally having to rewrite everything cause we’re a four piece now, the list for this record got pretty long. I’m glad to say though, I checked off at least...
Tom's Weekly Playlist (So late)
Ok, so I know I’m super late on this, but that’s the kind of person I can be.
A while back Charles posted a playlist of songs he was into at the time, and I was suppossed to post a list the next week. Well, here it is, a monthish late. The link at the bottom contains every song mentioned, plus a little text file with explanations for why I picked each song. Hope you guys find...
semi-important shinfo but maybe not
so every time LFT does something big I decide to align a personal goal with LFT’s goal. Mainly in the sense that I lie to myself and say they both are detrimental to each other’s success. It tricks me into taking my personal goals serious, cause I know this makes no sense but the only thing I take serious in my life is Latin For Truth. My personal goals are low on the list....
Watch“Pall Malls”, which will be on Youth Crew Blues, from the show in Lawrenceville, GA on the 2nd.
