1) A young music producer from Long Beach, California, making electronic music with heavy hip hop, r&b, soul and house influences. After releasing music off of his soundcloud in 2013, he gradually gained attention with original songs and remixes individually receiving hundreds of thousands of plays.

2) An MC from Brooklyn, New York out of the Dugout studio, known for reaching ridiculous levels of lyricism.

3) A rock band from Tacoma, Washington:

Drawing upon an extremely wide range of musical influences, from modern metal bands such as Converge to classics like Billy Joel, it is almost unbelievable that Cavalier, this Tacoma, Washington based 6-piece band, ended up sounding more along the lines of Third Eye Blind and Ben Folds. "The bands we had all been in previously sounded exactly like what everyone else was putting out...we just had to look back at what made the bands we loved growing up so great and start from there," explains front-man Stephen Lloyd.

When we first started [Cavalier], we wanted to establish a style of music that was open to a lot of creativity and change as the band progresses and grows," states drummer and co-songwriter Sam Franklin.

This spring, Cavalier has done just that.

With their 2006-quasi-self-produced-debut-EP-release (in-hale) "Your Honest Answer", they achieve an impeccable new heartfelt and driven sound that still manages to retain that integrity and odd sense of familiarity that touches you and seems to stick. "We pretty much wrote and recorded this EP between the hours of 1-4 AM for a couple weeks straight last winter in a Shurgard Storage unit," recalls Lloyd. Mastering of the record was done by Troy Glessener (Underoath, Acceptance, Pedro The Lion) at Spectre Studios and then sent off to be pressed along with their artwork designed completely by the band itself.

With ages ranging from 18-22 the members have all been playing music at school or in bands since their early teens yet have only been playing shows together as Cavalier since summer of 2005. They all share the same goal of not only making this band a career, but more importantly to them making a sound that pushes the pop envelope along with the broad boundaries of indie rock."

Cavalier released their second EP in September ’09 and have since gone on to grant worldwide licenses to some of the UK and USA’s premier media companies. The band have a number of key partners, including Distract TV, who are working on a number of exciting ventures with the band.

BBC introducing having spotted the band invited them for a live session which was broadcast in February 2009, and regularly feature new tracks from the band.

Nowhere To Go
Cavalier Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm sitting here all alone I'm sitting with nowhere to go
Our days start to spin round so just let me know

Why I should fight battles I have lost the will to face
I'm tired of all the trouble as we fall from grace

I'm longing for another moment to live life a little closer
Don't give up it's hard enough and you know

If we could try for a day we'd find all would change
I won't live running away as I've got nowhere to go from here now
Yea I've got nowhere to go

Remember when we'd come upon the best of all our days
We've got to stop thinking let's leave it all to fate

I'm longing for another moment to live life a little closer
Don't give up it's hard enough and you know

If we could try for a day we'd find all would change
I won't live running away as I've got nowhere to go

But I'm finally ready to show
That we could have it all that we could have it all
Yea I'm finally ready now Yea I'm finally ready now my love

Still I'm sitting alone

So try for a day and find all will change
I won't live running away I've nowhere
So try for a day and find all will change
I won't live running away as i've got nowhere to go

But i'm finally ready to show that we could have it all
I've got nowhere to go just nowhere to go

Overall Meaning

The song "Nowhere To Go" by Cavalier is an emotional ballad about feeling lost, trapped, and directionless, with no clear path or purpose. The opening verse sets a melancholy tone, with the singer admitting to feeling alone and restless. The lyrics suggest a sense of aimlessness, as if the singer is adrift in the world with no clear direction or goal. The chorus, with its repetition of the phrase "nowhere to go," drives home the theme of being stuck and unable to move forward. The second verse suggests a sense of resignation, as the singer seems to have given up on fighting the battles that have led to this feeling of being trapped.

The pre-chorus and chorus then express a yearning for something more, a desire to break free from this feeling of being stuck. The bridge, with its repeated line "so try for a day and find all will change," offers a glimmer of hope, as if the singer is urging themselves and others to take action and break the cycle of complacency and despair. The song ends on a wistful and ambiguous note, with the singer still sitting alone but expressing a newfound readiness to pursue something more.

Overall, the song is a poignant reflection on the human experience of feeling lost and hopeless, and the struggle to find meaning and purpose in life. It speaks to the importance of taking risks and striving for something more, even in the face of uncertainty and doubt.
