2) On their previous tour, Disclosure arrived in Newport News, VA, 4 1/2 hours from home to learn that their show had been cancelled. Here, most bands would have called it a day, but instead they frantically called friends to search for shows via MySpace. They ended up playing for free and headlining a show in Richmond, VA. This is just one of many stories that showcase Disclosure’s dedication.
In the past 3 years they have released 3 albums, have been part of an East Coast distributed compilation, performed in 7 states, went on 2 self-booked tours, and played over 50 shows. They have an upcoming full East Coast tour scheduled for July/August 2010 and they have no plans of slowing down.
3) Side project of Crunch Pod artist C/A/T. With the Disclosure project, Ben Arp of C/A/T shifts the focus towards tense samples and hard rhythmic sequences. While C/A/T has had a more abstract sound, Disclosure presents a more sonically straight-forward approach to songwriting. “Full Disclosure” attempts to further lift the veil and reveal the hidden hand that orchestrates world events. Extremely limited run of 25 copies and available only at Crunch Pod and was only available at live C/A/T performances in Summer 2005.
CD-R version is out of print. This album was recently re-issued as a digital download direct from Crunch Pod.
4) An Alternative/Powerpop/Rock band from Faringdon, UK. Formed 5 years ago Disclosure have earnt their reputation as one of the most exciting bands to emerge from the Swindon area through relentless gigging, energetic shows and great sounds. Performing on stage with the likes of Young Guns and The Rileys, Disclosure have played at many of the biggest and most respected venues and festivals in and around Oxfordshire. Now signed with New Vision Records and having recently released their latest EP at the o2 academy2 Islington, Disclosure have never sounded so focussed and relevant and this year will be hitting venues around the UK.

Intro
Disclosure Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How do you build your personal momentum and how do you get in the zone?
Right, and I'm glad you asked. (Okay)
Three things, you better catch it.
My mother used to say, people love watching fire burn!
Alright? Okay, that's one thing I know about life,
One thing I know about life it's a guarantee, right?
As much as you like to be in your comfort zone,
As much as you like to be stable,
As much as you like to control your environment,
The reality is, everything changes
Alright here's my last one,
My last one is, uh Carl you gotta give me that term again,
It's spontaneous combustion is I think is what they call it, right right
And what happens is
the soulful rhythm and beat of Disclosure's "Intro" has become iconic over the years. The lyrics, spoken by a motivational speaker, add an unexpected layer of depth to the track. The singer is asked how to stay motivated amidst the chaos of life, and his response is immediately captivating. He urges listeners to catch three things: first, that people love watching fire burn; second, that change is inevitable; and third, that spontaneous combustion can happen.
The first message - that people love watching fire burn - can be interpreted in a few ways. It could be seen as a nod to human nature, suggesting that we're drawn to destruction and drama. Alternatively, it could be a metaphor for passion and intensity - the idea that people are drawn to those who burn with charisma and energy. The second message about change is universal, but the singer's emphasis on it drives home the point that we can't stay stagnant in life. And the third message, about spontaneous combustion, serves as a warning that sometimes things can escalate quickly when we least expect it.
Overall, the lyrics to "Intro" are a curious mix of poetic inspiration and hard-won wisdom. The singer's words come across as a rallying cry for anyone who needs a little extra motivation to keep pushing forward, but they also hint at the darker side of human nature and the risks of complacency. As a result, the track has become more than just an electronic dance song - it's a cultural touchstone for a generation in search of meaning and purpose.
