History
Early years (2002–2006)
The band started in 2002 as a casual project for 5 high school friends, practicing in basement of drummer Patrick Birtles parents' house. After playing a handful of local shows in Edmonton at various all-ages venues, the band recorded the 'Your Famous Last Words' EP with friend and current Shout Out Out Out Out member Nik Kozub. The EP was a 5 song disc pressed by the band members and sold at shows. The band began playing shows across Western Canada and eventually committed their next release to local Edmonton independent record label 'Farway Records'.

Home In The Heartland
by: Ten Second EpicSometimes with life, you salvage every kiss goodnight,
and climb to every mountain high, but prairies are too flat,
Don't sell it out, and curse the hand that waivers growth,
I won't trade it for the world cause this is just my world
Don't you, don't you try to, hold on, to the old town,
I knew, I knew you would
We've grown, through the bad times,
we've lasted the whole night,
I knew, I knew we could
[Chorus:]
A million lights from the plane above,
A million stories that bring push to shove,
How can we keep looking forward when who we are is starring back
Feel the pain that you try to shake, snowstorms, people, that I take,
and I don't know, I don't know, I wont let go, I won't let you
(yes you really want it) This is time, (yes you really want it) through the hourglass,
(do you really want it) there's more to life, then a love song,
(yes you really want it) And I'm a bold man, (yes you really get it) I'm a bold man,
(do you really want it) cause this is home, in the heartland
Last time in check, the sunrise tried to warm the crest,
of every heart that laid to rest, and concedes tonight
I'll turn around, and test the perfect from the best,
and drop my pencil from the test, this is knocking off
Don't you, don't you try to, hold on, to the old town,
I knew, I knew you would
We've grown, through the bad times, we've lasted the whole night,
I knew, I knew we could
[Chorus]
Hold your own, hold your own, hold your own, hold you own,
This won't last through your, lasting climate dreams,
When the world won't turn to meet you, you face it,
you fight it, you know, you welcome
[Chorus]
