Run fast, baby don’t you look back Caution Sign says, no trespass Laughing as we climb. 10 feet higher Through chain link, through barbed wire Lights Flash, shouting echoes Last chance, come on out Show us your hands Go now just give up. Slow count down, under the gun. Well, Yes ,you could say, we’ve broken, a rule or two. (oh oh oh oh oh ) Cause if, rules aint for breaking, what are they meant to do? (do do do do do do ) Haven’t we all broken a rule or two? (oh oh oh oh oh ) Cause, if rules aint for breaking, what are they meant to do?! (Rules Rules Rules Rules) Rules Full speed, straight thru the gate On third street, down a one way The cops creep, Setting cruise control Our hearts race, eyes on the road (motorcycle) Well, Yes ,you could say, we’ve broken, a rule or two. (oh oh oh oh oh ) Cause if, rules aint for breaking, what are they meant to do? (do do do do do do ) Haven’t we all broken a rule or two? (oh oh oh oh oh ) Cause, if rules aint for breaking, what are they meant to do?! (Rules Rules Rules Rules) Rules Ah yeah Yes ,you could say, we’ve broken, a rule or two. (oh oh oh oh oh ) Cause if, rules aint for breaking, what are they meant to do? (to do, to do, to do) Yeah haven’t we all broken a rule or two? (oh oh oh oh oh ) Cause, if rules aint for breaking, what are they meant to do?! (Rules Rules Rules Rules) Yes ,you could say, we’ve broken, a rule or two. (One or two, yeah! One or two!)

about

With over 3/4 of a million Spotify streams at the time of release, 9 singles in the Top 10 on Soundcloud's USA Rock Chart (New & Hot), celebrity fans in the likes of Joel Madden & Travis Barker, and American Songwriter, Alternative Press, Loudwire, All Access, and more touting "Prelude" as a 'classic' new Alternative Indie Rock album of the late 2010's and pivotal year of 2020, chances are, you may already own this record!
Taking it a step further by creating an Augmented Reality App titled, "The Frst", which allows fans to access bloopers and other behind the scenes content by simply scanning the band's logo, the Nashville musicians lived up to their name by becoming the first rock band to accomplish such a feat - admist the panic of the COVID-19 global crisis nonetheless.
Featuring the lead single "Tarantino", mixed by Grammy winner Steve Hardy, The Frst found their initial taste of success at American FM Radio, earning spots on over 25+ FM stations and#1 at the legendary KXFM Radio in Laguna Beach, CA.
