In September ’06, the band was chosen as one of the top 10 unsigned bands in CA out of 2,500 by the world famous KROQ in Los Angeles. They have since had ongoing airplay and are requested on a regular basis. In the spring of ’07, the band was invited back to Japan to play one of the biggest events of the year, PUNKSPRING ’07. They shared the stage with such bands as NOFX, New Found Glory, Jimmy Eat World, Allister, Ellegarden, and many more big name acts.
Just months later, the follow-up to their debut album was released in Japan on August 25th. The album, “Start From Skratch,” quickly generated a buzz throughout Japan, as well as in the U.S. and Europe. A co-headlining tour with The Mad Caddies was put together in support of the record covering such areas of Japan as Tokyo, Osaka, and Nagoya. As with their first album, it was recorded and produced entirely by the band, and later taken to Scottsdale, AZ where it was mixed by Ryan Greene at Crush Recording.
Record sales for both albums has surpassed a combined 40,000 copies sold worldwide. Their music and hype has since leaked from Japan over to other parts of the world, including Europe and the U.S. The band is now signed to World Records out of Los Angeles, CA, and with this, they plan on introducing their music to a whole new audience, showing the world what the hype is all about.

One More Time
Better Luck Next Time Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What we entail, why we won't fail, lies ahead while we lead on
She doesn't know what she might say
She turned her back; no need to run away
Now that she's gone, and words were said, what will she do now that her boyfriend is always miserable?
And I say, yea I know everything will be alright when I say, try me out one more time
Now that I'm back, I need to get it right 'cause I'm, I'm right on track
Not knowing where to go and I'm trying to find the words to say, stuck inside my yesterday, the world that tells me I'm ok; where am I today?
The opening lines of Better Luck Next Time's song 'One More Time' bring us into a reflective space. The idea of taking a walk down a well-worn path or road signifies the notion of a repetitive journey. The lyrics suggest that we are all on some predestined road, with our ultimate success or failure lying ahead. The second verse provides some insight into a relationship that seems to have gone sour. The person is left wondering what they could have said differently, what action they could have taken, to prevent the break-up. There is a sense of helplessness, and the individual is now left feeling as if they have no control over the situation.
However, the chorus changes the tone of the song, with the line "Yea I know everything will be alright when I say, try me out one more time." Despite feeling a sense of defeat, the singer is determined to prove that they are capable of being better, that the relationship is worth salvaging. The final verse brings us back to the present, where the individual is trying to find their footing again. The elusiveness of the future, coupled with a sense of nostalgia from the past, makes it difficult to move forward. The lyrics leave us wondering whether we truly have control over our destiny or whether we are merely passengers on a predetermined journey.

Lyrics:
Let’s start this off, while we take a walk, down the road like all the others.
What we entail why we won’t fail lies ahead while we lead on
She doesn’t know what she might say
She turned her back; no need to run away
Now that she’s gone, and words were said,
what will she do now that her boyfriend is always miserable?
And I say: "Na na na na. Yea I know, everything will be alright
when I say: Na na na na. Try me out one more time."
Now that I’m back. I need to get it right ‘cause I’m, I’m right on track
Not knowing where to go and I’m trying to find the words to say,
stuck inside my yesterday, the world that tells me I’m ok; where am I today?
She doesn’t know what she might say
She turned her back; no need to run away
Now that she’s gone, and words were said,
what will she do now that her boyfriend is always miserable?
And I say: "Na na na na. Yea I know, everything will be alright
when I say: Na na na na. Try me out one more time."
