Not from this town I’m not from this town I’m from all around You know I don’t belong Now is that so wrong? Chorus: I’m looking at you You’re looking at me I observe what’s true In all that I see I’m not from this town You think that I’m a clown You’ve lived a sheltered life Third grade you met your wife Chorus: I am a different voice I made a different choice Now that’s in your head Can’t ignore what’s been said Chorus Bridge: Freak – of nature
2.
I like to get high We all know it don’t make sense What’s the matter, why so tense? One more week you owe the rent But your money’s all been spent Chorus Why……I won’t lie Why……I like to get high Pretty soon you’re out on your ass Now you need your first and last Sure is tough to make ends meet It’s even harder out on the street Chorus So another day and another dollar Be it blue or white collar The inheritance your parents hid You want to be a trust fund kid Double chorus
3.
Joyful Bits 04:08
Joyful Bits You got a message that was just for you You got a message and you hope that it’s true You got a feeling and it’s here to stay You got a feeling and it’s made your day You really hope that it’s coming true A validation of the things that you knew About a connection that was meant to be And now it’s here you want the world to see Chorus: That it’s about time-You want a sure sign You loved the greatest hits-And all the joyful bits You let yourself go along with the flow Now you’re red hot and it’s starting to show See what happens when you dare to confess About a love that you dared to express You opened up and don’t care if you’re hurt You learned your lesson, won’t be treated like dirt You understand that you could end up in pain But you’re still okay to try it all over again Chorus Will it last well who really knows But ‘till then you’re going to let it all show Because it’s not about winning the race Even if it’s hard to keep up the pace So even if it all falls apart We always remember just how it all starts And reminisce about way back then And think about doing it all again Chorus
4.
My Life Story I’ll be me and you be you Be authentic in all you do Spread the joy is what I choose Don’t judge other ‘til you’ve been in their shoes Chorus Please don’t say you’re sorry When you hear my life story It’s not what you take, it’s what you give Is the mark of a life well lived We all know you’ve been broken hearted But life’s not over it’s only started Chorus Love many, trust a few Ya gotta learn to paddle your own canoe 4X Chorus

Leg on his shoulder She put her leg on his shoulder, How could you get any bolder? All he wanted to do was hold her And she put her leg on his shoulder He asked her if she wanted to dance, She was looking for a little romance He laughed and called her a tease She kissed him and said “are you not pleased?” She put her leg on his shoulder, how could you get any bolder? All he wanted to do was hold her and she put her leg on his shoulder She shimmied and started to twirl, He was falling for this rock and roll girl She pulled him close and they started to kiss, They shared a dance called heavenly bliss She put her leg on his shoulder, how could you get any bolder? All he wanted to do was hold her and she put her leg on his shoulder Bridge A casual question without any plan, He knew he was one lucky man Was this story their first chapter? Could this be their happy ever after? They both fell head over heels, Now they both were starting to feel They never realised that they both cared And the feeling they were starting to share She put her leg on his shoulder, how could you get any bolder? All he wanted to do was hold her and she put her leg on his shoulder

about

The Discarded

Three years together and three albums, 2017’s self-titled release, 2018’s “Manifesto” and now, “Not from this Town” a five song EP is the first salvo of 2019 showing a band hitting their stride.

The Discarded hail from a small town just north of Toronto, Canada called Orangeville. They are comprised of sixteen year old drummer, Caden Jax, twenty year old, Jared Dean on bass and veteran punk rocker J.P. on guitar and vocals. Yeah they’re all related but this isn’t any Partridge family reunion. They lay down a brash, garage rocking sound, blitzkrieg live shows that don’t skip on its share of the catchy original tunes.

The new EP comes out hitting with the title track, “Not from This Town”, about the alienation of being an outsider but having the perspective to see a deeper truth. “I Like To Get High” speaks to the reality of escapism versus ones monthly monetary needs. “Joyful Bits” hints at redemption of an injured soul with “My Life Story” not looking for any sympathy. Finally the album closes with the absurd lyrical title of “Leg On His Shoulder”.

Its punk, its garage, there are grooves and straight up rock and roll with a sound that’s both musically clever yet straight ahead. J.P. lays down a wide swath of Ramones guitars and Jared Dean continues to prove he’s one of the top bassists in punk rock to come along in a while. Caden Jax at sixteen could be described as a reincarnation of Keith Moon or in the very least a burgeoning drum prodigy. Together, the band is tight, heavy and hard hitting.

Have you given The Discarded a listen yet? Have you caught a live show? Why isn’t music like this on the radio? Some of those questions you can answer for yourself. Others you can actually do something about. Enjoy.
