They have established themselves in the Northwest music scene, and their fan base is quickly expanding.

In the beginning, Sunderland was the hit trio of their hometown of Hood River, OR, consisting of Mcknley Kitts on guitar/vocals, Dylan Bauld on bass/backing vocals, and Vaughan Heppe on drums. Playing at their local River City Saloon in front of an ever-increasing crowd every month. About two years later, the trio decided to expand their sound and add lead guitarist Zachary Grace to the team. Soon after becoming a quartet they began work on their first album, A Change of Pace (produced by Dylan Bauld and Sean Norton). The EP received a lot of attention from venues in Portland, and eventually lead them to open for national touring acts such as Play Radio Play, The Dangerous Summer, The Morning Of, Allstar Weekend, and Hedley.

Sunderland is currently in the process of writing and re-writing songs for their sophomore EP (Which has yet to be named). They will be heading down to Los Angeles in late October of this year to begin recording and producing the album with co-owner of Drive-Thru Records, Richard Reines.

Over It
Sunderland Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Give me a moment here
Cause I swear it's all I'll need
Just gonna collect myself
Before I bring me to my knees
I'm not giving it up this time
'Cause I can't believe I got this far
And in a moment I'll be feeling alive
Then broken inside

And I can't get, just can't get over it
Oh oh no, oh oh no
I just can't get over it
Oh oh no, oh oh no
Everywhere I look
Is a wall that's closing in
And I don't know where to run
To get away from it
Trying to make it out
Just need to find where to begin
I'm not giving it up this time
'Cause I can't believe I got this far
And in a moment I'll be feeling alive
Then broken inside
And I can't get, just can't get over it
Oh oh no, oh oh no
I just can't get over it
Oh oh no, oh oh no
Oh I'm lost in a world
With a bitter sense of defeat
Almost gone, all that's left
Are the broken hearted dreamers screaming
"Who are we to fight against the way that it's become?"
They've given up
But I won't let it go until I've won
No, I won't let it go until I've won
I'm not giving it up this time
'Cause I can't believe I got this far
And in a moment I'll be feeling alive
Then broken inside
And I can't get - get
I'm not giving it up this time
'Cause I can't believe I got this far
And in a moment I'll be feeling alive
Then broken inside
And I can't get - get - get
I'm not giving it up this time
'Cause I can't believe I got this far
And in a moment I'll be feeling alive

Then broken inside
And I can't get, just can't get over it

Line by Line Meaning

Give me a moment here
I just need a short break

Cause I swear it's all I'll need
I'm confident that this break is enough

Just gonna collect myself
I need to gather my thoughts and emotions

Before I bring me to my knees
Before I break down completely

I'm not giving it up this time
I won't quit trying

'Cause I can't believe I got this far
I've come a long way and I don't want to give up now

And in a moment I'll be feeling alive
Soon I'll feel energized and positive

Then broken inside
But that feeling won't last as I'll feel defeated later

And I can't get, just can't get over it
I can't move on from this feeling

Everywhere I look
I see obstacles and challenges

Is a wall that's closing in
I feel trapped and limited
