Accessible, honest and high-octane tunes, with influences from the likes of Streetlight Manifesto, Less Than Jake and Reel Big Fish, Central California ska-punks FOR THE RECORD just released their new EP, ‘The Mess They Call My 20’s’, out July 19th on Manic Kat Records! The Visalia based ska/punk outfit, deliver an engaging, energetic, and horn-fuelled sound; a melting pot of expression and enthusiasm developed over eight years and three promising records. The new offering is their most seasoned to date, a finely tuned celebration of horns and high-tempo pop-punk, and today we’re pleased to premiere the official music video for the song “Too Little Too Late”!
“The concept of the video is basicallyย ‘the best laid plans of mice and men oft go awryโ. The song is the classic story of unrequited love and we feel the story of the video really portrays that. It was a blast to make and a memorable experience for us all.โ – Niko East
Too Little Too Late lyrics:
Well youโre the one I want
But youโre the one that I canโt have
And I canโt see any way of making this work
Without your man getting mad
And baby, Iโm not your type
But itโs just not in my blood
To take advantage of a sweet little girl like youAnd Iโm wishing that I could see you again
But I donโt think that I can stay just your friend
And I know that you wonโt fall for that again
But Iโm gonna go ahead and try
Sometimes you just gotta roll the dice.Now Iโm gonna get my way
There ainโt nothing that you can say
There aint no ifs ands buts, no messing around
Because Iโm gonna take you out on the town
And baby Iโm not your type
But itโs just not in my blood
But something about youโs got me changing my mindAnd Iโm wishing that I could see you again
But I donโt think that I can stay just your friend
And I know that you wonโt fall for that again
But Iโm gonna go ahead and try
Sometimes you just gotta roll the dice.Thatโs when she told me that she never wants to see me again
Iโm guessing that she found herself a new boyfriend
And Iโll admit
Itโs a bit
Too much to take
So I guess writing her this song was too little
Too late
