Desire is the root
of the emptiness filling the void
You struggle with your heart
over what it is may bring you joy
Restless in nature
Oh dear, that’s part of the danger
What good’s this life at all
without that tug of war?
Don’t let it get you down
To be free you must embrace
that our lives are lacking in meaning
This world is neither on your
side or against you, but indifferent
Conflict is nature
How you attempt to betray her
And though the weight is great
these are not chains at all

Aloud is, in the parlance of our times, a rock n’ roll band. Since our founding in Boston in the early 2000s we’ve released
5 albums, toured coast-to-coast several times, and even landed music in a few films. We’ve called L.A. home since 2017.
Aloud's latest album Apollo 6 is out May 19, 2023....more
Joe & co. put out one of our favorite albums of 2021, and Bronze Medalist keeps that party going. This is an excellent record worthy of your ears. Aloud
