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.

Tides
In League Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

The waves are crashing the tide is coming in,
The things among us are left to die now,
We dream of better days in a place
Where we are kings and its all over for you.
Just close the door now,
We'll have to ask ourselves the truth,
Let ease that trembling smile
That question marks the heart of our even in sight,

This is not exactly the story that I hoped for,
Tell me how I look today and ask me how I feel today.
And now, I'm growing weary,
I'm losing my mind.
Please guide me,
Show me the way out of this
(I'm losing my mind, please guide me, show me the way.
I'll bury the old, then we can find our home)
I'm going under now,
I'm going under now.
Will you remember me?
When this tide has taken me?
This tide has taken me.
The waves are crashing the tide is coming in,
The things among us are left to die now,
We dream of better days in a place

Where we are kings and it's all over for you.
This sea swells.
