Neighbors Mike Ruocco and Chris Shucosky formed the band as kids, taking the name of their own street as soon as they learned how to play. They soon began touring as a cover band in high school, says Mike, the lead singer, “We sometimes played as many as six shows a week in high school, playing colleges, clubs, parties or any other gig we could get. We’d be falling asleep in class from all the touring.”
Soon the seasoning at such a young age paid off, when the band caught the attention of Union Entertainment Group, the management team behind multi-platinum selling Canadian Band Nickleback. CINDER ROAD soon found themselves in the studio with veteran producer Marti Frederiksen (Aerosmith, Def Leppard, Ozzy Ozbourne) and the debut album, SUPERHUMAN, was born. “We pinch ourselves every day. It’s been a dream come true,” says Ruocco.
The CD is a mix of High-octane rockers and heartfelt ballads that, according to Ruocco, “Create an experience running the gamut of emotions.” The 11 tracks on SUPERHUMAN are definitely staggering in their passionate range. Ruocco maintains a simple philosophy when it comes to music. “Each song is an extension of my emotions. They’re like my children.”
Whatever lies in their future, CINDER ROAD has set their sites high. That is, if the band’s frontman has anything to say about it. “People go to rock shows to be entertained. They don’t want to hear about politics or look at some depressed kid in a dirty T-shirt. We need to change that. Remember the big arena rock shows? The days of pyro, big light shows, huge stages, ramps, swings, and all that crazy stuff? We want to bring that back.”

I'm So Sorry
Cinder Road Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Was it worse or for better?
Somehow I got caught in a lie
That I couldn't deny, I'll regret it forever
Goodbye to all that I've known
I was hard on you like a stone
I never could say that I was sorry
Now, I can't take it back
It fell through the cracks, oh, I'm so sorry
I, oh, I, I'm so sorry
You said that it's too late to change your mind
All the tears that you wasted
No time, it's all used up, I ran out of luck
From the tail I was chasing, why?
You started a fire, then I made it rain
I never could say that I was sorry
Now, I can't take it back
It fell through the cracks, oh, I'm so sorry
Faith isn't enough to get to you, I'm so sorry
I'm always hurting when you're gone
But I'm too proud to see I was wrong
Let every promise that I made
Fade away, away
You started a fire, then I made it rain
I never could say that I was sorry
Now, I can't take it back
It fell through the cracks
Oh, you started a fire, then I made it rain
I never could say that I was sorry
Now, I can't take it back
It fell through the cracks, oh, I'm so sorry
Faith isn't enough to get to you, to get me through
Oh, I'm so sorry
I, oh, I, I'm so sorry
