Just as I support the freedom that I have to believe in a God that many others do not believe in, I support the freedom for anyone to love who they love. I support equality.
Our new, free mixtape, MISHMASH, is out now!
What is MISHMASH? MISHMASH is a compilation of our 10 favorite live mashups from past shows, with a little extra added on them. Probably due to our love of both hip hop and electronic music, the final track list features a lot of rap artists mixed with a whole spectrum of electronic genres, from chill wave to electro house. It also features some of our favorite artists, so we hope you like them too. In the description of each song, we will link to every artist sampled, so if you like something on the mixtape be sure to check out the original artists, because that’s what this is all about.

What’s up everybody? Stuff has been BUSY for us the past 6 months since releasing Wasted Youth, and we thought it was time to throw out some new music. If you’ve been to one of our shows, (or even if you haven’t) you probably know that we love making mashups. Every set we put together a few new ones. Some we end up really excited about; some… not so much. But it’s always fun taking a handful of completely different tracks and seeing how they come together to create a completely different energy.
MISHMASH is a compilation of our 10 favorite live mashups from past shows, with a little extra added on them. Probably due to our love of both hip hop and electronic music, the final track list features a lot of rap artists mixed with a whole spectrum of electronic genres, from chill wave to electro house. It also features some of our favorite artists including Adrian Lux, Kendrick Lamar, Oliver, Outkast, Gold Panda, Rebecca & Fiona, Kanye West, Beat Connection, Lil Wayne, Purity Ring, Cutting Crew, Lights and many more! In the description of each song, we will link to every artist sampled, so if you like the song be sure to check out the original artists, because that’s what this is all about.
Starting Friday, 2.8.13, we will be releasing a new song each Friday, until 3/1 when we will release the whole album for free.
Love,
GET MISHMASH EARLY: If you help spread the word about the new mixtape on Twitter or Facebook you’ll get the album sent to you early.

2012 has been a great year for us. With our album, Wasted Youth receiving such a positive response and our fan base continuing to grow at shows and on the interwebs - we are very excited for what the next year will bring. We have some amazing things in the works, and we really can’t say “thank you” enough to all of you who support us and spread our music around. We love you guys.
As the year comes to a close, we thought it would be cool to make a list of our favorite songs of the year, by other artists. I know that I personally always wonder what artists are listening to and which ones listen to each other. So here it goes. This is our Top Ten Favorite Songs of 2012 List. Jams. Every one of them.

Florin talks with Harmony Soleil of C89.5 FM, fresh off the release of our new album Wasted Youth. He opens up about the inspiration for the new album, the new Go Periscope live show and what the future holds for GP. Recorded on August 24th, 2012 at C89.5FM (KNHC) in Seattle, WA.
Here are the lyrics for all of the songs on Wasted Youth.
Wake up, wake up
Lights may save us
Shadows fading
Barely breathing
Oh oh oh oh
Fight off tomorrow
Alone
Eyes are on fire
Tell me, not to worry about it
Don’t leave me to figure it out
Light one, burning out the sun
Tell me, not to worry about it
Restless just figure it out
Light one, and we’re burning out the sun
Silver traces
We’re elevated
The room is shaking
The skies are breaking
Oh oh oh oh
Fight off tomorrow
Alone
Eyes are on fire
Tell me, not to worry about it
Don’t leave me to figure it out
Light one, burning out the sun
Tell me, not to worry about it
Restless just figure it out
Light one, and we’re burning out the sun
Lights may save us
Shadows Fading
Barely breathing
Skies are breaking
Tell me, not to worry about it
Don’t leave me to figure it out
Light one, burning out the sun
Tell me, not to worry about it
Restless just figure it out
Light one, and we’re burning out the sun
Burning out the sun
WASTELAND
Got a vision of us that you don’t want at all
Won’t let it hold on
Raise it up to the light only to watch it fall
With nowhere to roam
My lives are gone, my friends are dead
I hold my torch above my head
All I can find, and all I see
Buried in sand beneath my feet
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Nowhere to go
I tell myself
It’s not so bad
Cause in the end
You’re all I’ve ever had
All my gold and all my horses
All my gold and all my
You’re taking away
All my gold and all my horses
All my gold and all my
You’re taking away
All my gold and all my horses
All my gold and all my
You’re taking away
All my gold and all my horses
All my gold and all my
You’re taking away all
Got a vision of us that you don’t want at all
Raise it up to the light only to watch it fall
Leave me out in the dark without even a call
Evil lurking about, for all I know I’m all done
My lives are gone, my friends are dead
I hold my torch above my head
All I can find, and all I see
Buried in sand beneath my feet
Beneath my feet
All my gold and all my horses
All my gold and all my
You’re taking away
All my gold and all my horses
All my gold and all my
You’re taking away
All my gold and all my horses
All my gold and all my
You’re taking away
All my gold and all my horses
All my gold and all my
You’re taking away all
All, you’re taking away all
It’s a wasteland, buried away
BLACK LIGHT MASQUERADE
Take me to a black light masquerade
Take me where the lights go
When the lights go down, down all the way
Show me how to die young, only when the lights go down
Only when the lights go down, only when the lights go down
Only when the lights go down, only when the lights go down
Only when the lights go down
Oh, and you’ll find you’re way back home
Cause you don’t know where to go
And you’ll find you’re way back home
No ████ it, here we go
Whoa, Oh oh
I can see it
Whoa, Oh oh
Take me to a black light masquerade
Take me where the lights go
When the lights go down, down all the way
Show me how to die young, only when the lights go down
Only when the lights go down, only when the lights go down
Only when the lights go down, only when the lights go down
Only when the lights go down
(Semaj Foreman verse)
You might be thinking I’m evil
There you go feeding those egos
Stunt hard like Evel Knievel
Ask Flo, he’s got it on video
We’re throwing bottles back
Beat like a heart attack
Hype, Hypochondriac
Yeah I think we rock that
Oh, and you’ll find you’re way back home
Cause you don’t know where to go
And you’ll find you’re way back home
No ████ it, here we go
Whoa, Oh oh
I can see it
Whoa, Oh oh
Take me to a black light masquerade
Take me where the lights go
When the lights go down, down all the way
Show me how to die young, only when the lights go down
Only when the lights go down, only when the lights go down
Only when the lights go down, only when the lights go down
Only when the lights go down
SILVER WINGS
Dark sky
Red eye
She’s tearing at the seams
I’m guessing but I think that it’s alright
Oh my
Visions of the dead
Falling through my head
And the silver wings are gone
Now in the clouds that block the dawn
And the silver wings are gone
Now in the crowds of everyone
Fire’s gonna burn me down
You’ve got to put me out, you’ve got to put me out
I’m just a victim of a hungry crowd
You’ve got to help me up, you’ve got to drag me off the ground
How you gonna let me drown
You’ve got to pull me out, you’ve got to pull me out
From under shadows of a heavy cloud
You’ve got to help me up, you’ve got to drag me off the ground
Bright Sky
Wide-eyed
She’s broken and it seems
The terror that we see is in my mind
Oh my
It’s like they’re dipped in red
All reaching for my head
And the silver wings are gone
Now in the clouds that block the dawn
And the silver wings are gone
Now in the crowds of everyone
Fire’s gonna burn me down
You’ve got to put me out, you’ve got to put me out
I’m just a victim of a hungry crowd
You’ve got to help me up, you’ve got to drag me off the ground
How you gonna let me drown
You’ve got to pull me out, you’ve got to pull me out
From under shadows of a heavy cloud
You’ve got to help me up, you’ve got to drag me off the ground
They’re reaching for my head
It’s like they’re dipped in red
The terror that I see
In my mind won’t let me leave
Fire’s gonna burn me down
You’ve got to put me out, you’ve got to put me out
I’m just a victim of a hungry crowd
You’ve got to help me up, you’ve got to drag me off the ground
How you gonna let me drown
You’ve got to pull me out, you’ve got to pull me out
From under shadows of a heavy cloud
You’ve got to help me up, you’ve got to drag me off the ground
MAKE BELIEVERS
We are the ones who live in make-believe
We are the ones who fall in love with ease
We’ve wandered aimless through the underseas
We tell the stories of the unforeseen
To find a place where we can break away
Inject our bodies into outerspace
Cross out the letters just to misbehave
Fall out of favor with the ones we save
It was only a dream but it was just like
It was just like, it was just like heaven
It was only a dream but it was just like
We were just like, we were just like lovers
Lovers, lovers
We are the ones who live in fantasy
We are the ones they left in disbelief
We’ve wandered aimlessly through time it seems
We’ve told the stories they would never read
To find a place where we can hide away
Collect the memories and watch them fade
Cross out the letters just to disobey
Fall out of favor with the ones we save
It was only a dream but it was just like
It was just like, it was just like heaven
It was only a dream but it was just like
We were just like, we were just like lovers
Lovers, lovers
It was only a dream but it was just like
We were just like, we were just like lovers
Was only a dream but it was just like
We were just like, we were just like lovers
We were just like lovers
It was only a dream but it was just like
It was just like, it was just like heaven
It was only a dream but it was just like
We were just like, we were just like lovers
Lovers, lovers
BREAK FREE
They fall in line collated
Shooting for ecstasy
The way they’re brushed and painted
They want no part of me
It’s all a waste of skin and
I’ll never quite believe
The way they’re brushed and painted
They’ve got it in for me
Take it off for me
Keep it original
We’re shouting in between
That’s what we’re lovin’ for
Raise it up for me
A killer on the floor
We’ve gotta kick and scream
That’s what we’re ██████ for
Now dance
And scream
They tell us, they love us
They kiss us, they touch us
Now shake
Break free
They tell us they hate us
They rip us they break us
We wrangle stars together
We’ll eat them all alive
They keep them drugged, sedated
It’s all a waste of time
I’ll never leave, forever
I’m dancing under fire
Instead of drugged, sedated
I’d rather taste my time
Take it off for me
Keep it original
We’re shouting in between
That’s what we’re lovin’ for
Raise it up for me
A killer on the floor
We’ve gotta kick and scream
That’s what we’re ██████ for
Now dance
And scream
They tell us, they love us
They kiss us, they touch us
Now shake
Break free
They tell us they hate us
They rip us they break us
Wake up, baby
Don’t wake up
We’re on the floor
Wait up, baby
Don’t wait up
We needed more
We needed more
We needed
Now dance
And scream
They tell us, they love us
They kiss us, they touch us
Now shake
Break free
They tell us they hate us
They rip us they break us

Guess you want the warmth from a kiss
With the way you walk them hips
Yeah, just another line and a reason for why
Cause if we know, they all know
We get caught up and pretend
We’re not alone again, oh
Pretend, pretend we came to forget
It’s all in your head
Forget you said, forget
Kill me if I turnaround, I’ll leave
Loaded but you’re running out of me
Strangers even though we fall asleep
When there’s no air left to breathe
When there’s no air left to breathe
Oh let it go, oh let it go

They beg to take you back
Just another day, want to runaway darling
Don’t you feel the way their heart breaks
Every time you make them chase
Just another sign and a reason for lying
Cause if we know, they all know
We get caught up and pretend
We’re not alone again, oh
Pretend, pretend we came to forget
It’s all in your head
Forget you said, forget
Kill me if I turnaround, I’ll leave

CAROUSEL
Just had to call you late
I had that dream again
I couldn’t concentrate
And now my mind pretends
The words I want to tell
I’ll just repeat them then
Cause you’re my carousel
Round and around again
I’ve been here before, but I never break through
It’s the same me, come to see to the same you
Oh hell, how’ve you been
Missed you too, how’s your friends
Move, step two and the cycle never ends
We’re lost and we can’t seem to quit
It’s a long ride so we might as well sit
Remind me again how the story begins
When everything stops and the room starts to spin
We’re looking for a way out, a way out
We’re looking for a way out, a way out
They’re never gonna let go
Never new, we sin so well
You’re my carousel
Way out, a way out
We’re looking for a way out, a way out
They’re never gonna let go
Never knew you sin so well
You’re my carousel
Even in my dreams I can feel us drop,
Everything you are is everything I’m not,
Oh well, let’s pretend these rules don’t bend
Move, step two and the cycle never ends
We’re lost and we can’t seem to quit
It’s a long ride so we might as well sit
Remind me again how the story begins
When everything stops and the room starts to spin
We’re looking for a way out, a way out
We’re looking for a way out, a way out
They’re never gonna let go
Never new, we sin so well
You’re my carousel
Way out, a way out
We’re looking for a way out, a way out
They’re never gonna let go
Never knew you sin so well
You’re my carousel
Never knew you sin so well
You’re my carousel
You’re my carousel
The words I want to tell
I’ll just repeat them then
Cause you’re my carousel
Round and around again
We’re looking for a way out, a way out
We’re looking for a way out, a way out
They’re never gonna let go
Never new, we sin so well
You’re my carousel
Way out, a way out
We’re looking for a way out, a way out
They’re never gonna let go
Never knew you sin so well
You’re my carousel
Our new album, Wasted Youth is now on iTunes, Amazon, Bandcamp and all other music sites. We’re proud of this record and would love for you to take a listen, and if you like it, spread the word to all of your friends.
The support so far has been incredible, and we just want to say thank you to everyone who has supported our music over the past couple of years. Wasted Youth has been a huge undertaking as we opted to produce and release it ourselves. Making music is a two-sided beast. From the artist’s perspective, you stay up countless days and nights at a time, feel like a zombie, pull your hair out, guess and second-guess everything, and often times you end up scrapping an entire project and start over in a completely different direction. Wasted Youth is the collection of songs that made it. The ones that when they were finally complete, we felt represented everything we are as artists/writers/humans/whatever. But all of this hair pulling madness would be nothing without you. Without all the people that listen and relate to the music and lyrics, the songs would only have meaning to us.
The best part of releasing music is hearing what it means to the people that listen and feel something. From the artist, to the listener and back to the artist. The transfer of energy and inspiration is undeniable. We hope you can hear the love and effort that went into this record.
Love, -GP

Hello fellow survivors.
The smoke has cleared, the vault door has opened, and you are pushed out into day one of a new and dangerous world. Any signs of life are few and far between. What was once a blanket of evergreen and ocean blue is now a dry and desolate plain of sand and tumbleweeds. The…
Our song, “Wasteland” is available on iTunes now. This is the first single from the upcoming album (which will be out a little later this summer, details to follow). We are really excited about this song, and can’t wait to have you hear it… Seriously. Why are you still reading? You should be downloading this from iTunes (or Amazon, Bandcamp, etc….) So in summary, even though there are only four sentences to summarize:

With the most sincerity,
