Transpose was recorded in the studio with producer Eric Palmquist (The Mars Volta, Wavves, Trash Talk) and serves as a prelude to the band’s debut full-length slated for 2014. “The writing and recording process is always exciting, because it’s constantly changing and unique to each song. Inspiration comes and goes as it pleases, so a night when a song gets written is a very good night,” says Christo. Comprised of four tracks, Transpose flows effortlessly from start to finish showcasing the band’s stadium ready anthems and undeniably catchy hooks. “Music has the ability to evoke certain feelings in people, a way that not much else can. The pairing of words and sounds can be an extremely powerful tool, when done right. I think the ultimate goal for this band is to make music that causes people to really feel something.”
Aside from writing a record, Bad Suns’ 2013 was a busy one, complete with multiple CMJ showcases as well as sharing the stage with the likes of The 1975 and Vaccines with no signs of slowing down any time soon.

Bad Suns Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm happy now
I've been wrapped up in different lies
I've been wrapped up, I've been untied
One more travel, the top of the mountain
Close your eyes, be patient, it's coming
Like an anchor to my bed
I can live my life instead
I've been writing my thoughts down
To clear my mind
To try and figure out my brain
To confront and set aside my pain
And I've been searching for meaning
In a blood red field of
Wasted dreams and wasted breath
Baby, wasted dreams, that's worse than death, no
One more try for the top of the mountain
Give me one more sigh to the top of the mountain
Baby, roll those eyes to the top of the mountain
Close your eyes, be patient, it's coming
All my dreams have been weighing me down
Like an anchor to my bed
I can live my life instead
Oh, oh, oh
All my dreams have been weighing me down
Like an anchor to my bed
I can live my life instead
I can live my life instead
I can live my life instead
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I've been writing my thoughts down
To clear my mind
To try and figure out my brain
To confront and set aside my pain, and
I'm approaching a breakthrough
I'm happy now
Though, satisfaction comes and goes
While the saddest facts, they cling like shadows
One more try for the top of the mountain
Give me one more sigh to the top of the mountain
Baby, roll those eyes to the top of the mountain
Close your eyes, be patient, it's coming
All my dreams have been weighing me down
Like an anchor to my bed
I can live my life instead
Oh, oh, oh
All my dreams have been weighing me down
Like an anchor to my bed
I can live my life instead
I can live my life instead
I can live my life instead
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I can live my life instead
I can live my life instead
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

3rd gear in my Toyota Supra. Somehow the tune I made gave it a rolling anti lag so I can drop the clutch after some popping and rip it around
