1.
As I've been writing down the list Of everything I need There's been a nervousness adrift With everything I wrote It's getting harder to lift myself out of bed As I am trying to decide to head out west I set my player to repeat Track three on Combat Rock And as I listen to the beat I know that I'm all right
2.
Time is on my side You never lied Don't know why I stood here waiting Took no time at all
3.
The Look 01:54
From day to day it drifts away I have control that doesn't stay I look at you in my own way You look at me and think the same Oh no, oh no, right through me You're giving me all I can see When I look up you're all I need You seem to nod and I proceed I might be lost within your stare I like to think that I don't care
4.
Break 01:34
Can't deal with it anymore Can't stand this awful war Going my own way Nothing keeps me in your place You know it's all been said That's how it's all been done True words false confessions Who else can I pretend to love? Reworking past nonfictions Till' my brain gets numb Play the game Or the game will play you Break the chain And live like you want to
5.
Faded 01:48
I've got another question You've got another time I've got another answer You've got another lie It's faded
6.
You're Gone 01:51
There goes another dead I look and feel misled Your eyes are gone and look naive Your face is starting to deceive I can feel it coming It's coming, you're gone I thrash and kick the bed To get myself ahead Your eyes are gone and look naive Your face is starting to deceive You give me nothing to remember
7.
Let It Out 01:32
Let it out Oh, let it out There is something here without a Face that always seems to linger Lying underneath the daily task That I have set to focus There is something here without a Face that tends to look familiar Lying somewhere in between the Past and where I came to notice

Nice words from chill people:

"The form of punk created by The Rayguns is pretty traditional, making it a nice change from the legions of modern bands ruining the genre by aiming for a goofball approach (blame Green Day for that one), but that's not to say that their new EP 'Never Been To California' isn't fun though. It's a riot from start to finish, and doesn't try to be particularly political or pretentious." - The Sound of Confusion

" If you read enough of what I write about music you'll likely find a successful formula to becoming a rock n roll band. I've said on many occasions that if you go back to the 1950's and pull influences from then up until now, well, that would give you nearly seventy years of music to draw your comparisons from. The fact that so many artists want to be one singular artist or from one singular moment in time is crazy to me and The Rayguns show you that if you use this vast body of music to your advantage you can create an appealing sound which also sounds new." - Raised by Gypsies

"The title track is brilliant catchy punk-pop. No Time At All combines the fuzzier kind of 1980s indiepop with a punky kick. Break is super-melodic pop beefed up with a punky snarl and buzzy fuzzy guitar. Faded adds an angular rock touch and an angsty atmosphere to the band's usual punk-pop style. The Rayguns have an exciting sound that balances strong catchy melodies with an energetic kick." - Bliss/Aquamarine Zine


"Instantly addictive ass-shaking punk that drips with '80s SoCal influence. Adolescents, Vandals, Dickies fans rejoice, but the Rayguns definitely don't sound dated. Rhythms are dirty, leads are crisp, and the vocals harmonize just like they are supposed to when singers know how to sing." - Robert, Maximum Rocknroll
