Place Of Origin: Ontario, Canada
Years Active: 2011 - present
WHAT I THINK THE SONG IS ABOUT:
"Dilated Eyes" appears to be a song about trying and failing to pull someone out of a bad situation, likely involving drug addiction. You get a sense by the end of the song that the vocalist is starting to pull away, thinking that he's done all he can do for this person and his help is just not getting through. Though it's a difficult choice, it appears that he is trying to move forward in his own life knowing that he could not stop this person's downward spiral.
CURBSIDE DISCOGRAPHY (Full length albums only):
2012 - The Sound I Know (Bells On Records)
CURRENT STATUS OF CURBSIDE:
Curbside formed as a band sometime around 2011. This Canadian melodic/skate punk band released their debut album in 2012, entitled "The Sound I Know". It took 4 years after that release to hear back from this band as they most recently released an EP called "Decades" in 2016. There is not a whole lot out there on the internet on this band to put forth a little more info but, I would say their style and sound evokes such bands as Strung Out, Face To Face, Asado, Implants and 1000 Degrees. This band is definitely under the radar but, in my mind, this is a band that warrants attention. Being a huge Face To Face fan, I see a lot of that style in Curbside's music. Here's hoping that this Canadian punk outfit continues bringing high energy melodic punk for years to come!
