On the weekends they love to go skateboarding, play Nintendo 64 and make a bit of indie pop on the side. Scarlett bangs the drums, Jennifer plays the electric bass, Jordi & Josh are the guys that play the guitars, write the songs and sing them.

San Cisco have spent the last year graduating high school, performing at some festivals and playing round town pretty much every weekend. They have also produced their first EP called Golden Revolver, which is set for release early 2011. Confident with stage presence & strong with vocals, San Cisco's upbeat summer pop continues to impress.

Jordi says: "San Cisco is a place situated between reality & a dream state. It is kind of like a huge cauldron we put all our creative input into, mix it together to make a super explosion of fantastic, wild creations. This is San Cisco."

Wash It All Away
San Cisco Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You had a rough week
You left a boy because he cheats
You stay up late and drink yourself into a daze
You blame yourself, if you only had a bit more wealth
You'd go on a holiday, into the beach

Wash it away, away, away
Wash it all away, away, away

Wash it all away

Tell me is it love or lust
Be honest, be honest
'Cause I'm losin' your trust
You promised, you promised
Tell me is it love or lust
'Cause I'm losin' your trust
So get on
Well, you're off it
Ow

He misses your touch
What a great excuse for falling in love
If he'll try hard enough
Eventually you're gonna crush
He's never come clean
It's not good for your self esteem
He'll do it again, it'll probably be with your best friend

All well, all well
It'll probably be with your best friend
All well, all well
It'll probably be with your best friend

Tell me is it love or lust
Be honest, be honest
'Cause I'm losin' your trust
You promised, yeah you promised
Tell me is it love or lust
'Cause I'm losin' your trust
So get on
Well, you're off it
Ow

(You had a rough week
You left a boy because he cheats
You stay up late and drink yourself into a daze)

Tell me is it love or lust
Be honest, be honest
'Cause I'm losin' your trust
You promised, you promised
Tell me is it love or lust
So get on
Well, you're off it
Ow

(Wash it all away, away, away, Wash it all away)

Wash it all away
Wash it all away, away, away
