Th… Read Full Bio ↴I can haz synth? Yes you can and lots of it, [heart] the L.E.D.s.
The evolution of The L.E.D.s began four short years ago in Christchurch, NZ - courtesy of Marcus Thomas and Blair Parkes who, in 2004, formed "Thomas:Parkes" after both being involved in several guitar-based bands over the previous years.
After writing and releasing the album "Big Machine" as Thomas:Parkes, Marcus and Blair decided to expand the sound.
The introduction of Helen Greenfield (formally of "Barnard's Star") to the line-up introduced more feline synth, luscious vocals, and a dash of strings to the mix. This, of course, made the name "Thomas:Parkes" not only obsolete but incorrect and the search for a new name began. After exchanging many txts and e-mails and much googling (to ensure the name was unique); Helen, Marcus, and Blair settled on the name "The L.E.D.s" - not least because it was a cool name and the omnipresent light emitting diodes on their gear... (mmmm)
Towards the end of 2006, the L.E.D.s released their debut album titled "...we are the L.E.D.s". The album contained several singles that charted in the RDU Top 10 and led to the eccentric Dr Hitchcock including "Modernist Cut" on the compilation "This is not the chch sound".
Following the production of a music video for the second single "Rumba", The L.E.D.s asked drummer Daniel Batkin-Smith to join the band in an effort to step up the live performances. The L.E.D.s continue to use programmed beats mixed with live drums during their live performances and still manage to record and write new material despite being split between Christchurch and Wellington.
Together their powers combine to create catchy, electro-fuelled pop and a super-good time. After several synth-licious, crowd-pleasing performances in Christchurch and a tour as part of the Karajoz Public Address Great Blend, the L.E.D.s are currently working on a new album, scheduled for release in the first half of 2008.

The L.E.D.S Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Down haunted highway
Driving in my car
Come catch me copper
I've had 20 beers
Look at me, I'm in my car
I will gun it
It's fast, motherfucker
You can't outrun it
Bang bang bang
I'll shoot you dead
Pedal to the metal
Give me head
In my car
Get in the back
Take off your pants
C'mon baby
Do the horizontal dance
In my car
I will fuck you in my car
In my car
The L.E.D.S.'s song "Cars" is a dark and disturbing portrayal of reckless driving and sexual misconduct. The singer immediately sets the tone by announcing that they are embarking on a journey down a "haunted highway," implying danger and potential harm. As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the singer is under the influence of alcohol, having consumed 20 beers before getting behind the wheel. They taunt law enforcement ("come catch me copper") and express a desire for speed and danger ("I will gun it...pedal to the metal").
The latter half of the song takes a sexual turn, with the singer inviting someone into their car and pressuring them to have sex ("get in the back...take off your pants...do the horizontal dance"). The line "I will fuck you in my car" is particularly unsettling, as it implies non-consensual behavior. Overall, the song presents a bleak picture of reckless behavior and abuse of power.

We're gonna take a journey
We're planning to go on a ride
Down haunted highway
We'll travel on a scary road
Driving in my car
We'll be moving in my ride
Come catch me copper
I dare the police to chase me
I've had 20 beers
I've been drinking too much alcohol
Look at me, I'm in my car
I'm behind the wheel of my vehicle
If you try to pass me
If you attempt to overtake me
I will gun it
I'll accelerate aggressively
It's fast, motherfucker
My car is really quick
You can't outrun it
You won't be able to escape
Bang bang bang
I'll fire a gun
I'll shoot you dead
I'll cause lethal harm with my firearm
Pedal to the metal
I'll press the accelerator all the way down
Give me head
Do as I say and follow my lead
In my car
Inside the confines of my vehicle
Get in the back
Take a seat in the back area
Take off your pants
Remove your lower garments
C'mon baby
Encouraging the partner to engage
Do the horizontal dance
Have sexual intercourse
I will fuck you in my car
I will engage in sexual activity in my vehicle
In my car
My automobile will be the location of our sexual encounter
