Selling over 10,000 units off their debut EP, and holding a spot on Smartpunk.com’s Top 100 Albums Charts for nearly a year is not always easy, but Minneapolis pop band All The Right Moves has already begun to rise up and take charge on the music scene. Today’s pop scene is in high demand for energetic hooks, electronic beats, and glam looks, but the truth is, where did the music go? And what happened to just having fun? A good, catchy song is all that anyone craves, and that is exactly what the band strives to do. With the infused flavors of two lead singers, piano, and a violin, ATRM has created a truly unique meld of pop hooks that will only leave you wanting more.

Creating quite a buzz in the Minneapolis/ St. Paul scene, All The Right Moves has recently completed and won the national Fox 9 “Cravings to Go” Battle of the Bands, which also landed them a spot as the stars of a state-wide broadcasting Pizza Hut television commercial. ATRM has also played select dates throughout the Midwest on the Vans Warped Tour, both in 2008, and 2009.

The band’s debut EP hit the number 8 spot on the Smartpunk.com charts for the best selling albums in early 2009, and they have had the opportunity to share the stage with many national acts, playing opening slots for the likes of: All Time Low, Mayday Parade, Quietdrive, Valencia, Lucky Boys Confusion, Every Avenue, The Audition, Emarosa, and local favorites such as Sing It Loud, Take Cover, Jamestown Story and Four Letter Lie.

“The industry is one big ride, so you might as well have fun and make some real friends along the way”, states ATRM violinist Roman Wolfe, “A scene is something very hard to fit into when you join after it has become empowered and strong, but we feel we have managed to do something right by giving fans a new, fun, and positive outlook towards their pop addictions.”

With a second, follow-up EP and an acoustic album on the way, 2010 seems to be the big year to look forward to. “This is only the beginning”, states singer/songwriter Brandon Daly, “because in our eyes, nothing is better than doing what you love…”

All The Right Moves Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Starting from the party, all i wanted was somebody to breakdown, and shake down.
Then from the center of attention, came a sudden intervention of love.

And now the bottle of bacardi's got me moving to the sound of the beat now (the beat now)
And like the fire to the match, i am romantically attached to your touch.

I saw you standing there from across the room, and i knew what you were thinking, the night had just begun, it was a quarter to ten, it was time we started drinking,

You walked right up to me, you had this look in your eyes, yeah i think i nearly lost it, You offered me a glass but i was so into you that i think i nearly dropped it,

So, starting from the party, all i wanted was somebody to breakdown, and shake down.
Then from the center of attention, came a sudden intervention of love,

And now the bottle of bacardi's got me moving to the sound of the beat now (the beat now)
And like the fire to the match, i am romantically attached to your touch.

You acted in disguese, but i could recognise, all the hints that you were placing, then you took me by suprise when you led me to your room, yeah my blood pressure was racing,

My thoughts began to stur and my vision was blurred, from the shots we had been drinking, but then you grabbed me by the wrist and pulled me in for a kiss, yeah your fragrance had me thinking,

So, starting from the party, all i wanted was somebody to breakdown, and shake down.
Then from the center of attention, came a sudden intervention of love,

And now the bottle of bacardi's got me moving to the sound of the beat now (the beat now)
And like the fire to the match, i am romantically attached to your touch.

And when the night came to an end, i was floating half asleep in a dream now, and when the sun began to rise, i realized you were here in my arms all because,

Starting from the party, all i wanted was somebody to breakdown, and shake down.
Then from the center of attention, came a sudden intervention of love,

And now the bottle of bacardi's got me moving to the sound of the beat now (the beat now)
And like the fire to the match, i am romantically attaced to your touch

I was looking for someone to have a good time with and let loose at the party.

Then from the center of attention, came a sudden intervention of love.
But then, unexpectedly, I found myself falling in love with someone who caught my attention.

And now the bottle of bacardi's got me moving to the sound of the beat now (the beat now)

I am deeply drawn to your touch and the sparks it ignites in me.

You walked right up to me, you had this look in your eyes, yeah i think i nearly lost it, You offered me a glass but i was so into you that i think i nearly dropped it,
You approached me with an intense gaze, and I was so captivated by you that I was almost overwhelmed. I was so focused on you that I almost dropped the drink you offered me.

You acted in disguese, but i could recognise, all the hints that you were placing, then you took me by suprise when you led me to your room, yeah my blood pressure was racing,
You were trying to play it cool, but I saw through your act and noticed the subtle signals you were giving me. When you unexpectedly took me to your room, my heart was racing with excitement.

And when the night came to an end, i was floating half asleep in a dream now, and when the sun began to rise, i realized you were here in my arms all because,
As the night ended and I drifted off to sleep, it felt like a dream. But as the sun rose and I woke up next to you, I realized that it was all real - we were together because of the unexpected intervention of love.
