We are a highly driven band that has organised all of our recording and touring achievements through our own hard work and dedication. We have been commended countless times on our work ethic and persistence to be as successful as we can be, no matter what it takes.

We began playing shows in our hometown of Perth in April 2010. 6 months later went out on our first tour of South East Asia in October 2010 which was highly successful, playing to first time crowds of up to 1000+ and securing an endorsement in the Petersaysdenim family.

We recorded our first debut full length that same year in our hometown which was then released through InVogue Records (USA) in January 2011. From this album we were nominated for a WAMi award (Western Australian Music Industry) in the hard rock category in 2011, and released music video on YouTube for the single 'This Will Be The End Of Us' which has had almost 200,000 views to date.

Throughout 2011, we slaved 9 - 5's, sacrificed going out on weekends, and saved up for an entire year to embark on the recording and touring opportunity of a lifetime. We recorded a our new debut "Sleep And You Might Miss This", produced by Andrew Wade at The Wade Studio in Florida during October/November of 2011 which is currently unreleased. In League is independent of any label, management, or booking agency at this time.

In The short time we have been around for, we have been lucky enough to have shared stages with industry giants such as: August Burns Red, Blessthefall, Pierce The Veil, Escape The Fate, Closure In Moscow, Dr. Acula, The Air I Breathe, Northlane, The Amity Affliction, Tonight Alive, Dream On, Dreamer, Miles Away & more.

Since early December 2011 we have been on consecutive back-to-back, self-funded tours across the United States, Canada, England, Malaysia and Indonesia, returning home in late March 2012, the tour was a great success and In League has more than tripled their fan base across the globe. Now that we have returned home from this 6 month journey, we are seeking the best opportunities for the band so we can continue to pursue our passion.

Foundations
In League Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't believe in your distinctiveness.
The things you left me i lay to rest.
If it happened all at once would you even feel it change?
We've come so far just to lose feeling.
Sometimes i feel so sick inside just breathing in,
Breathing out.
Please just let me out,
Let me out.

I know that it's all in my head.
I've been here time and time again.
Please just let me out,
Let me out.
Is this all we have.
Is this all we have to try and build our foundations on?
Any day now this will be so simple.
This day has come to a close just tell me secrets,
Tell me lies.
Tell me i'll never tell and we can sleep safe in our own resolve.
These things that we lay beneath our heads.
You see it now,
You take it all.
Is this all we have.
Is this all we have to try and build our foundations on?
This has been such a beautiful day to be woken up.
Your glassy eyes,

They've seen so much.
They took my hand and showed me how far we've come.

Overall Meaning

In League's song Foundations explores themes of disillusionment, disappointment, and uncertainty. The opening lines, "I can't believe in your distinctiveness, The things you left me I lay to rest," express the singer's disbelief and rejection of a person or belief system that they once believed in but have now let go of. The following lines, "If it happened all at once would you even feel it change? We've come so far just to lose feeling," suggest that the singer is questioning whether their disillusionment was a sudden or gradual process, and whether it ultimately matters if those around them are even aware of the change.

As the song progresses, the singer becomes increasingly conflicted and overwhelmed. They describe feeling physically ill and trapped, pleading to be released. Despite recognizing that their struggles may be internal, and that they have been in this place before, the singer continues to search for something concrete to rely on. When they ask, "Is this all we have to try and build our foundations on?" they are expressing doubt and uncertainty about the future, and wondering if what they have built their life around is really enough.

Overall, Foundations is a powerful, introspective song about questioning long-held beliefs, struggling with internal conflicts, and searching for meaning in an uncertain world.
