The Host (band)

Emotionally driven alternative/indie rock from Cincinnati, Ohio.. Guaranteed to stick in your head!

Since forming in 2006, The Host has become a staple of the Hard Rock scene in Cincinnati, Ohio. What started out as a labor of love for the four-piece has become an outright obsession. "The need to write and perform outweighs anything else in our lives, and we work hard to ensure that everything we do has a special quality to it," says Host singer, Chris Charlton. Drawing on a full spectrum of musical influences, The Host's overall sound lies around the edges of bands like Muse, The Mars Volta, and Queens of the Stone Age. Their unique style and unusual songwriting methods offer a more stream-of-conscious feel that stretches beyond the boundaries of modern Alternative Rock. Exotic verses and powerful choruses are supported by a solid framework of hooks that sink in and don't let go. In keeping with their namesake, song themes range from tales of revenge to restlessness to co-dependent relationships. Following the release of the Dual EP Project; 2007's “Receive” and 2008's “Transmit”, word-of-mouth for The Host has spread rapidly. Intense live shows and radio airplay, (including a variety of internet podcasts), have only fueled their fire. The Host received a nomination for the 2007 Cincinnati Entertainment Awards in the category of Best Hard Rock Band, and also forged their way to the Regional Semi-Finals of the Nationwide Bodog Battle of the Bands. The Host has been invited to join the 2008 Van’s Warped Tour and the annual MidPoint Music Festival (the regions largest music showcase). These high caliber shows have enabled The Host to establish further recognition with a fast growing audience. With the Receive/Transmit Dual EP Project now under their belt, The Host has started work on their first full length album while continuing to play LIVE, consistently attracting new listeners to their growing fan base.

Lyrics

There is only room inside for one.
It’s so hard to take, to know that you’re moving on.
It’s so good of you to find a way to call.

I went nervous when you put me on hold.

And then I heard you say your only offer was.

Somebody else’s love.
Foreign bodies touching home.
You tell me to understand.
That you need to make some sense of us.

There’s no more time to take.
Nothing left to save.
Only memories.
There’s no more day or light.
No more wrong or right.

Just somebody else’s love.
Cornered by the storm and lost.
Somebody else’s love.
Haunted like a stolen cross.

There is only room inside for one.
A thousand miles apart.
A thousand miles alone.
On to the May.
Then on to the June.

If I could I’d wait.

For somebody else’s love.
Guarded by this soul and heart.
Somebody else’s love.
Caught up by the throes of want.

Until I heard you say you’re only out for one.

Somebody else’s love.
Foreign bodies touching home.
I’m failing to understand.
You’re failing to blame yourself.

There’s no more time to take.
Nothing left to save.
Only memories.
There’s no more day or light.
No more wrong or right.

Was it worth forsaking?

Somebody else’s love.
Foreign bodies touching home.
Somebody else’s love.
Cornered by the storm and lost.

(if memory erased, who would know?)
