3) The American Caesar formed in December 2010, and while none of the members can call the same town home, they have all found a home within Caesar. Caesar hits the pavement as much as possible and having members from Michigan and Indiana, they make sure that whenever they are given a stage to play on they make sure to leave their mark. The live performance of this group is what they pride themselves on, and they entertain in a manner that fans won't soon forget. As for the music, it can stand on its own. The way in which the music of Caesar is delivered through speakers is for lack of a better word: aggressive.It can be found in the rhythmic attack from the instruments and the chilling delivery of the vocals. The music is high energy and unceasing. Caesar has hopes to find a home in an industry that is constantly changing. With the groups first full length expected in the early summer 2012, Caesar is putting all they have into creating a unique music experience that they are going to give back to every single person that has supported them.

Caesar Lyrics

I had been mistaken
All shaking, I just couldn't stop
You told me that I was going like
Mmm
Well, lately I have come to see
I'm trying and trying
It's happening, and I was going like?
Mmm gotta get it off me, until I let it go
And catch the shadows down the wall
Last night I was screaming stuff
I had been completely mistaken what you said to me
You told me that I was going like?
Mmm, gotta get it off me, until I let it go
Mmm, gotta get it off me, until I let you know
And catch the shadows down the wall

Last night I was screaming stuff
I was shouting something loudly last night
I had been mistaken
But I was wrong about it
All shaking, I just couldn't stop
I was trembling and couldn't calm myself down
You told me that I was going like Mmm
You informed me about something I didn't understand
Well, lately I have come to see
Nowadays I understand
I'm trying and trying
I'm making an effort repeatedly
I'm fed up with this side of me
I can't stand this aspect of myself anymore
It's happening, and I was going like?
Something is taking place, and I was reacting how?
Mmm gotta get it off me, until I let it go
I need to release something that's been bothering me
And catch the shadows down the wall
I need to discover hidden things lurking around me
Last night I was screaming stuff
I was shouting something loudly last night
I had been completely mistaken what you said to me
What you said to me was completely misunderstood
You told me that I was going like?
You informed me about something I didn't understand
Mmm, gotta get it off me, until I let it go
I need to release something that's been bothering me
Mmm, gotta get it off me, until I let you know
I need to tell you about something that's been bothering me
And catch the shadows down the wall
I need to discover hidden things lurking around me
