What started off as a group effort to get their previously unreleased tunes to the masses has skyrocketed into 2007 with the group heavily in demand for their white hot remixes – a little electro, a little techno, but all house. When the swing on their tunes hits the dance floor you’ll be more than pleasantly surprised how hard it is keep your body from going retarded.

In 2008, Ross McGrath left the group to focus on other projects. Vance and Mikah have continued the group and since released a new single, "Stomp Yo Shoes".

Tear It Down
The Aston Shuffle Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

There are scars that I know you bare
But you hide them well
They're not always clear in the light
Oh baby, don't hide

I can feel all the fire in you
Though your eyes are cold
They still burn right through your disguise

And all of your lies, yeah

I scaled the wall
That you built inside
And now I'm gonna tear it down
Tear it down
I'm gonna tear it down tonight

I scaled the wall
That you built inside
And now I'm gonna tear it down
Tear it down
I'm gonna tear it down tonight

There are scars that I know you bare
But you hide them well
They're not always clear in the light
Oh baby, don't hide, no

I can feel all the fire in you
Though your eyes are cold
They still burn right through your disguise
And all of your lies, yeah

I scaled the wall
That you built inside
And now I'm gonna tear it down
Tear it down
I'm gonna tear it down tonight

I scaled the wall

Tear it down, tear it down
I'm gonna tear it down, tear it down
I'm gonna tear it down, tear it down
I'm gonna tear it down tonight

Tear it down, tear it down
I'm gonna tear it down, tear it down

I'm gonna tear it down, tear it down
I'm gonna tear it down tonight
