Its a quiet suburb in the heart of middle England - wine bars and dance clubs being about as subversive musically as it gets. But, you often find creativity can come from the most unusual of circumstance. At the start of 2003, in Hucknall, childhood mates, singer/guitarist, David Wright and, guitarist, Joe Watts, frustrated by a lack of ambition, split from their long time band. The pair decided to start something new with loftier ideals and aspirations - Headway was born. They soon recruited two more members - Dave Shaggy Astbury from Riddings - not Hucknall - on bass and Johnny Dakers on drums (later replaced by David Wrights brother Jay). The material they started playing needed something else keyboard player Tom Harrison - from Bestwood Vill-age - was poached from another band (Monkfish) and the line-up was complete. The Headway sound is elegant piano mixed with a driving rhythm section and swooping rock guitars. Beautifully crafted songs are overlaid with the unique voice and melodies of David Wright. Not just a mesmerizing vocalist, but a great front man too the kind of front man that the UK are renowned for producing. Having recently been signed to Geffen Records by President Jordan Schur, the band have recorded their debut album due out early 2008.

2) French hardcore band in mid 90s'

3) American pop punk band from Pittsburgh. The band was started in 2014 as a joke band called "The Captain Crunch Kids" for Jarrod Alonge's Sunrise Skater Kids Cover Contest. The band consisted of guitarist/vocalist Zac Bianco, bassist/vocalist Luke Oxendale and drummer/vocalist Ricky Glenn. Following the positive reactions to their entry, the band started taking themselves more seriously and decided to record an EP, with Ricky on drums, Luke on guitar and vocals, Zac on bass and vocals, and a new member, James Ritter, on guitar. They also started playing shows and taking part in a Battle of the Bands, which they won. On August 18, 2015, they first single, "Bridges", was released on Bandcamp. On September 28, the band changed its name from "The Captain Crunch Kids" to "Headway", because, according to the members, their former name "doesn't portray as serious of an image as (their) lyrical content does".

Headway Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You are by far the closest thing to my heart
To me you're everything
You are the star I look for when we're apart
To me you're everything

And I'll be right here
And I'll stay right here
And I'll be right here

When you call out my name
When you say what it means
To be lost, to be found
You make me feel safe

You are the place where my pain will sink without trace
To me you're everything
You are much more than I ever thought was in store
For me you're everything

And I'll be right here
And I'll stay right here

When you call out my name
When you say what it means
To be lost, to be found
You make me feel safe

And I'll be right here

When you call out my name
When you say what it means

To be lost, to be found
You make me feel safe
