Lyrics
I’m bound to you like the wretched winters we curse at most of the year Frozen into exile among the rural mutineers
The chorus of the busking days provides more than enough
Warmth to melt the frost from the surface of our adjoining love
We packed our dreams inside a campervan
Criss-crossing state lines, tracing a pentagram
Caught in the rounds of party favours
Inducing our manic behaviours
I’m bound to you like the stick and poke tattoo on your thigh
A sworn oath that I won’t abandon what is mine
The permanent souvenir reveals a timeline between now and then Whereby the fabric of our being is stitched by one everlasting thread
And if you look back, don’t you look back with the slightest bit of shame It wasn’t long ago we celebrated
the meaning we gave to our given names
More than a bond, more than a band, more than a pact
Despite our dysfunction, we somehow kept intact
Like a fixture in my core
I am bound to you forever more

Friendship has been a pillar of audio/rocketry’s blistering rally cry from the start, with the core duo of Joe Vickers and Matthew Murphy expanding to accommodate a rotating crew of some of Edmonton’s hardest working musicians. After a decade of touring the continent, the band finds itself distilled to its strongest bonds and purest sound with the addition of Blair Drover and Jerome Tovillo.
