–Bruce Lee
Dan Padilla is Gene Doney, Davey Quinn, J Wang, and Matty. They live in San Diego, California and formed in 2005. Davey and J. are also in Tiltwheel. Gene’s a full-time graphic designer. Matty’s in Madison Bloodbath.
In every town or city with a DIY punk scene, there’s always a small core of people who continually get shit done. For going on two decades, members of Dan Padilla have been setting up and running shows, recording, helping touring bands with food, floors, and friendship. They’ve been all-around DIY ambassadors. They also all like to drink. A lot. Like “after this case and the next case, we only have three cases and a couple 750s. We’re running low” drinking. This isn’t boasting, competitive drinking. Often, it’s not fun drinking.
Let’s face it. If you’re over thirty, have moved out of your parents’ house, and come to realize that “anarchy!” means no bridges, public libraries, streets, or fire departments, idealism’s a much harder pill to swallow; especially when you’re looking at it through possible liver damage. But the dudes in Dan Padilla have fought hard to remain ethical, moral, and honest well after more vocal members of the DIY punk community have “moved on” to the comfort and status quo they once claimed to despise and swore they’d “burn to the ground.” Dan Padilla just wants some public space and the freedom to play what they’ve created… and the cops can still go fuck themselves.
It’d be pretty hard to find four other guys whose musical self-depreciation matches their talent for rough-hewn, yet melodic music. And let’s make sure we’re all wearing the same watches: Dudes in this band preceded the existence of Hot Water Music, so roll any bandwagons back into the barn.
Dan Padilla play punk that could be soul. It could also be country. It’s versatile. It doesn’t contradict the spirit of either Naked Raygun or Otis Redding while embracing both in completely inobvious ways. It’s gruff-voiced, cuddly underbelly, hard-earned DIY punk with secret, catchy-yet-twisted, and drought-hardened guitar lines that scrape the listener like running through a dense thicket of chaparral.
Burritofornia will ever be in their debt and probably won’t ever know it.

Six
Dan Padilla Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lyrics to Dan Padilla's song "Six" seem to be addressing a troubled relationship, with the singer suggesting that the woman in question has been holding something back for a while but isn't necessarily seeking revenge. The line "there's no time for reason" implies that things have escalated quickly and communication has broken down. The singer acknowledges that they've said all they can about the situation, but it seems clear that the woman is still struggling with unresolved feelings.
The next lines paint a picture of the woman's desperation and fear as she contemplates leaving. There's a sense that her heart is set on a better future for herself, but the present is overwhelming and she feels like she has to escape immediately. The reference to gunshots adds a layer of danger to the situation and suggests that things might have already turned violent or been threatened to turn that way. The woman is no longer concerned about covering her tracks - the line about having no alibis implies that she's prepared to face the consequences of leaving.
The final lines of the song reinforce the idea that the woman is determined to keep moving forward, even if it means leaving everything behind. The city lights fading out symbolize her leaving her old life behind and heading towards an uncertain future. The singer seems to understand that for this woman, surrender or going back home would be worse than any amount of risk or uncertainty.
Line by Line Meaning
She's been waiting a long time to tell you something, but don't take it the wrong way she's not all out for blood.
She's been holding something back for a while and wants to share it with you, but don't misunderstand, she's not trying to hurt you intentionally.
There's no time for reason. You've said it all. You've got your regrets, and I'm set to fall.
Emotions are high and there's no time for logical discussions. You've said everything that needs to be said, and now she's feeling hurt and vulnerable.
She's always had her heart set on something better, and there's fear and a bloodshot desperate look in her eyes.
She's always had aspirations for something more fulfilling, but now she's scared and looks desperate and tired.
Screaming there will be gunshots if I continue to stay here, and heading down Hwy 94 to Tecate with no alibis.
She's threatening to use force if you don't let her leave and is driving away with no excuses or justifications.
Keep driving til the city lights fade out. Keep driving because I don't want to go home.
She wants to keep driving until everything fades away and doesn't want to return to her old life.
Keep driving til the city lights fade because I will never surrender and I will never return to my home!
She's determined to keep moving forward and never give up or look back on her past.

Thank you for appreciating DJ's music though you don't understand. Anyway, the message of the song is that the girl that he loves is the center of his music and that the song would not be completed without the girl. His love for the girl is his music. Omg, so so sweet message. This is for the song, " Ikaw ang Musika Ko"
