Demons 07:14
The first time he thought «I’ll face it all with a smile like no one cares» The next time he thought «I’ll bite everyone’s neck the hardest way» Well, he lost himself in a minute, a minute away from madness The madness that rules the world However, he fought with demons and cursed away their hate Sought for love in truthful eyes and freedom in return And now he collects those memories Speaks for them in books and songs But still he’s scared that some cold day The demons might return Cast these demons from our minds, release our bodies from this tyranny, cast these demons from our memories and deliver us from sin. Fire walk with me.

Crossroads 07:17
He is calling my name He is setting the game For his kingdom of ruins Lay waste, lay waste He is pulling my leash As he’s grinding his teeth Road worn suit, wicked smile Papa stay by my side He is calling my name In the crossroads of faith Through his kingdom of ruins Lay waste, lay waste

Story's over 04:48
Believe her when she says that little story’s over Believe her when she says it’s done Don’t leave her when she says take a risk and try it sober Don’t leave her when she drinks and runs Your own self destruction Your own self destruction Your own self destruction Your own self destruction Believe her when she says that little story’s over Believe her when she says it’s done Don’t leave her when she says take a risk and try it sober Don’t leave her when she drinks and runs Your own self destruction Your own self destruction Your own self destruction Your own self destruction Imprisoned to attraction Imprisoned to attraction Imprisoned to attraction Imprisoned to attraction Your own self destruction.

Hey Ma 03:38
Hey ma, don’t fear for me now Hey ma, don’t speak for me now Hey ma, don’t want you to see What I’ve become believing this way Hey ma, you’re here for me now Hey mama, you’re bailing me out Hey ma, you think it is alright But mama, it’s never okay Hey ma, go pick me that gun Hey mama, don’t step on this man Hey ma, I’ve done this before Just hold my hand tight, we’ll step to the light

I lost control this spring my friend I crawl across the road, my bed Prepare to give in to the birds That pride themselves for their white feathers A caution sign is all I see I hear the trumpets scream for me The souls surround the empty farm Seems it is time I finally stood up And as I stand my bones creak I lay my hands, offer my skin They cover it with gold and shadows I must confess, I know what follows

about

Gold and Shadows is the Road Miles' first LP. Α live recording, captured on tape, enriched by the tape's distinctive quality: a mellow, fuzzy presence.

A psychedelic haze runs through the dark, blues-rock patterns that unfold throughout the album weaving together mesmerizing rhythms and melodic riffs. Much like a film noir, the pasionate vocals break through the mystifying atmosphere to expel our demons and purify our souls.

about

The Road Miles Athens, Greece

The Road Miles are a southern gothic band based in Athens, GR. Their fuzzy sound combines rock’n’roll energy with dark aesthetic under the influence of psychedelic blues.

They drag their guitars through reverb sounds and fuzz pedals while filtering the vocals with low-fi microphones, telling stories from a world full of heat, dust and red suns reflected on the steel hood of a deserted sedan.
