Looking beyond the status quo of the modern rock music of today, EARSHOT’s third studio album, slated for release August 2008, marks the start of what some believe is sure to be the beginning of a new and changing modern rock world of tomorrow. No doubt, that in the 48 minutes of listening to the bevy of infectiously memorable tracks, one can only describe this 11 song collection as a very cleverly crafted, re-defined and re-designed approach to their genre with a plethora of sonically raw and defining moments.
EARSHOT signed with Warner Brother’s Records in 2001 and in 2002 released their debut album “Letting Go” which yielded their first anthemic singles such as “Get Away” (which peaked at #4 on the charts and stayed in the top 100 for over 60 weeks), and “Not Afraid”. In 2004 the band released their sophomore effort entitled “Two” which bore the bands breakout single “Wait” (#9) and their follow up single “Someone.”
In early 2005, EARSHOT returned from the road in support of their second release when the panicked state of the recording industry turned its ugly head towards the band. “No one expected another EARSHOT record after that” says vocalist Wil Martin. “We were essentially counted out by many. Our departure from Warner Brothers Records only added to our determination not to let corporate decisions determine our artistic and creative voice. After all, THAT’s what rock music is really all about…believing in yourself, overcoming adversity and taking that chance when the odds are against you.”
In early 2007, EARSHOT signed with InDeGoot / Fontana/ Universal Recordings. Produced by Brian Garcia and co-produced by Wil Martin, the band began the long and tedious task of putting together their nearly 2 yearlong gestations of song ideas. Tracks such as “MisSunderstood”, “Closer”, “Pushing To Shove”, “Wasted”, “Don’t Hate Me” and “Sometimes” are sure to please the EARSHOT faithful, and will undoubtedly serve to quickly convert new fans by songs with a penchant for massive hooks and loud guitars.

Earshot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now I need to find a way to get this strain off of my back
Sometimes we need to lock the door
And throw away the key
Sometimes we need to learn to let be
It's nice to feel the sun
I finally found the strength I need still spinning on my back
And now I feel the sun
Shining down on me
Sometimes we have to live and be free
For days now I've waited for the light to shine
Shine down on me
The lyrics of Earshot's song "Nice to Feel the Sun" capture the overwhelming feeling of being lost in life, feeling isolated and burdened by the weight of one's problems. The first verse begins with the singer acknowledging the strangeness of their life and the feeling that they need to find a way to relieve the stress and tension that they feel. This is a common feeling that many people experience – the sense that life is moving in a direction out of their control, and it can be difficult to find a way out of the rut they are in.
The second verse shifts in a more positive direction, with the singer waking up to find that they are not in danger, and that they have found the strength they need to carry on. They acknowledge that sometimes in life, the best thing to do is to let go of the past and embrace a new, more freeing way of living. This is why it's so nice to feel the sun – it's a symbol of warmth, positivity, and hope.
Overall, the song's message is one of perseverance in the face of adversity. It's about finding the strength to let go of what's holding you back and embracing new possibilities, even when it feels like darkness is all around.
