Hailing from the Meadowlands of New Jersey, Wyland have made a name for themselves in the live circuit. Conjuring a bit of grit with the indie spirit of acts like Foals and the Arctic Monkeys, the band creates a fresh and unique live experience that sets them apart from their contemporaries.
Their sound reached overseas to Ireland, where the band spent the better half of 2018 recording with producer Philip Magee (Kodaline, Miles Kane, The Academic).
Wyland finished an east coast tour with Universal recording artist Valley at the end of 2018, and their latest singles 'Nowhere Now' and 'Dark Days' have amassed over 215,000 streams on Spotify over the past six months. They were featured on Spotify's 'Fresh Finds' and 'Rockin' Vibes' playlists.
The alt-rock group has performed at festivals alongside acts like Mumford and Sons, Alabama Shakes, The Maccabees, The Flaming Lips and many more while receiving praise from outlets such as Ones to Watch, The Line of Best Fit, Clash, Born Music and more.
Lyrics:
What if my heart was yours from the start What if I told you my secrets, would you tear me apart What if theres still time to get it right What if the stars hold no answers, only light for the lost souls of the night Dark days when we got older, our hearts got colder And nothings been the same, still running from them dark days So what if we leave this city tonight Take all our troubles out to sea and set them on fire What if its the blind leading the blind What if the stars hold no answers, only light for the lost souls of the night Dark days when we got older, our hearts got colder And nothings been the same, still running from them dark days Because theres a fear thats always been, built in the cities we grew up in They call it dark days, when you knew you should have, wish you could haveLyrics:
I dont want to be another lonely soul In a lonely town with nowhere to go And I dont want to be the one with plastic dreams In a plastic town where nobodys free Because people here just dont want to see So Ill go where my feet dont touch the ground Full speed to nowhere now, before the fire in my heart is out And you wonder what its all about Come where your heads not filled with doubts to nowhere now I dont want to be the one who fades away In a fade away town, have you ever felt the pain? Yeah, I just wanted to feel something thats real So grab mommas keys were taking her automobile Because something here just dont feel right So Ill go where my feet dont touch the ground Full speed to nowhere now, before the fire in my heart is out And you wonder what its all about Come where your heads not filled with doubts to nowhere nowLyrics:
Dont you ever feel like there was no where else to run you say youre waiting on some sunshine but youre stuck in the dark and dont you ever feel like a remote control heart in a circuity of lonely, you just want to restart and life just keeps moving, while our hearts lie in ruins and dont you ever feel like youre somewhere in between you say youre waiting on a rocket to take you where youve never been in this circuitry of lonely, you just wanna feel complete life just keeps moving, while our hearts lie in ruins and time, its on your side but what im feeling, Im feeling for you its like lightning, its like these days come and go its like lightning, its like were losing control its like lightning, its like a thief in the night its like lightning, when every color collides into life, it just keeps moving, while our hearts lie in ruins and time, its on your side but what im feeling, Im feeling for youLyrics:
In a kaleidoscope garden Ill be singing In a kaleidoscope garden the church bells are ringing And what a lovely thing it is to disappear So far away and oh see near And what a lovely thing it is to find you here In a kaleidoscope, a kaleidoscope garden In a kaleidoscope garden where you can be you and Ill be me In a kaleidoscope garden we can live in a house under the sea And what a lovely thing it is to disappear So far away and oh see near And what a lovely thing it is to find you here In a kaleidoscope, a kaleidoscope gardenLyrics:
every night i wake up to the sound of ticking clocks in a town that I cant escape from, maybe tonight were gonna run before they come and they turn our love to rust and were numb from them burning all thats beautiful to dust And even if I get lost Even if my heart is flawed Ill find a way back to you, ill find a way back to you if one night you wake up to some revolution in your head in a place that digs at your heart and soul, darling dont think Ive left you alone So come out before they turn our love to rust and were numb from watching them burn all thats beautiful to dust And even if I get lost Even if my heart is flawed Ill find a way back to you, ill find a way back to you somewhere on the outskirts of town beyond the maze of this life theres an x that marks the spot theres a feeling that we both forgot And even if I get lost Even if my heart is flawed Ill find a way back to you, ill find a way back to you
