Dirty Cheese and the Hoodie Thieves EP is a 6-song collection that combines the sheer vocal power and songwriting depth of lead vocalist Andy Paul, along with the aggressive yet emotive backing of guitarist Clay Cook, bassist Corey Heim, drummer John Stemmle and lead guitarist Brandon Sidebottom. With songs like “True”, “A Pulse and a Blindside”, and “Love, Chinese Style”, (intheclear) is clearly a young band on the verge of some big things. Musically they are most often compared to A Perfect Circle, Deftones, Sevendust, Taproot, and Incubus, but the band’s influences are drawn from a wider scope that includes U2, Joe Satriani and Jeff Buckley.
(intheclear) has been touring throughout the Midwest for the past two years, sharing the stage with such notable acts as Staind, Hurt, Hawthorne Heights, Three Days Grace, Head Automatica, Rock Kills Kid, Days of the New, Chevelle, Flaw, Sevendust, ill nino, Finger Eleven, Chronic Future, and Greenwheel. They recently won WLRS’s summer-long battle of the bands, and in the process received a main-stage slot at LRSFest in 2004. (intheclear) is regularly spun on WTFX 93.1 & WLRS 105.1, the latter of which they are regularly in the top five most requested songs.
“Once in a while a band emerges from the vast and often mediocre plains of the underground original music genre. A band with youth, talent, conviction, long hair and that certain spark that sends chills to the bone and vibrations to the pockets of record companies. There are many unsigned bands out there and this is the story of one of them.” Louisville Music News.

(intheclear) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who you are and what it is to know you
You keep whining, blaming the others
Maybe someday you'll finally see yourself
Not enough, lost my trust
I can't believe you
There's no doubt, you'll stay the same
I hope you never stay the same
It keeps digging, deeper in my back
I guess I was next in line
A black and white movie memory, tucked away
Now I'm not so colorblind
Not enough, lost my trust
I can't believe you
There's no doubt, you'll stay the same
I can't believe you
I hope you never stay the same
Not enough trust, walk away
You'll stay the same
Not enough, lost my trust
I can't believe you
There's no doubt, you'll stay the same
I can't believe you
I hope you never stay the fucking same
You'll stay the same
The lyrics of "True" by (intheclear) seem to be directed towards someone who the singer once trusted but has betrayed that trust in some way. The first verse suggests that the person has been trying to hide their true nature or avoid taking responsibility for their actions, but the singer has now seen through this façade and understands who they really are. The second verse hints at some kind of betrayal or hurt caused by this person, with the lyric "It keeps digging, deeper in my back."
The chorus repeats the idea that this person has lost the singer's trust and that there is little hope that they will change, but there is still a small glimmer of hope expressed in the line "I hope you never stay the same." The final line of the song, "You'll stay the same," drives this point home, suggesting that despite the singer's wishes, this person is unlikely to change their ways.
Overall, the lyrics seem to express a sense of disappointment and frustration with someone who has let the singer down, but also a desire for them to improve and perhaps regain their trust.

Musically, the 1980s was a truly fantastic decade.
@danbasta3677
It took some getting use to the 80's style, however your quite right, it's the very last decade of music that was really good and made a great deal of sense. After that silly, crappy rap crap too over the airwaves, music went down hill in a heartbeat. Matter of fact once that rap crap took over a lot of radio stations throughout the country changed their format to nothing but talk shows and or this silly sports talk show gig.
