Gripping vocals, penetrating lyrics, and a strangely optimistic melancholy are the meat and potatoes of The Gutterpups debut effort, "All You Ever Were". A percussive, rock and acoustic rock album capable of leaving emo fans shaking, housewives quivering, and alterna-kids feeling hip for a second or two, "All You Ever Were" is as pure and emotional as it gets. With layers of electric and acoustic guitars fronted by Sean Tevlin’s trademark worn, in-your-face voice and a tender ear for sophisticated pop poignancy, The Gutterpups are able to combine the smarts of The Wallflowers and Counting Crows with the boldness of The Replacements and The Gin Blossoms. All while crafting a tightly produced, hook-laden rock album appealing to rock, indie, folk, and pop fans alike. The Gutterpups were formed late in 2007 by Tevlin and quickly set to recording the music that would become "All You Ever Were". Guitarist Shamus O’Toole, bassist Rod Smallwood and drummer Alex Bekracken have all given Tevlin’s songs a big piece of their own styles and along the way gelled into an incredible live band. CD "All You Evere Were" now on sale at CD Baby- http://cdbaby.com/cd/gutterpups Also on sale at I-Tunes, Napster and Amazon!!!

Lyrics
The Last Full Measure Broken vows and broken hearts We move like shadows in the night Only my faith can save me The faith to see me to the light So now it’s time I’d tried I’ve waited my whole life I’ll give the last full measure That’s all that I could do Seeing how I might Just fly home in the night To give the last full measure Cause it’s all that I could do Ride these darkened roads to nowhere Keep the fire burning bright So now it’s time I’d tried I’ve waited my whole life I’ll give the last full measure That’s all that I could do Something is just not right So hold on tight To give the last full measure Cause it’s all that I could do

I thought this was pretty good. the guitar seems a little loud in the mix though, it sort of doiminates the song and makes it hard to understand the lyrics, don't get me wrong it soundsd great, maybe too loud in the mix
