Spade will be playing the main stage at the Rogue Arts Festival on the Sunshine Coast on Saturday, August 20th, 2022 at 8 pm. The band will be bringing a hard rock choir to the stage with them for this very special event. Click HERE for info and tickets!

Homegrown melodic hard rock duo SPāDE is bringing their big sound and presence to the Rogue stage complete with a hard rock choir. Consisting of local music champion Steve Wright and powerhouse drummer Spade Hoile, the duo is a band eight years in the making, and recently released their debut record “Title the Document,” a sprawling, riff-dominant, drum bashing epic wonder of a thing.

Spokes

The dogs are out for blood again
Rich people are suffering
They can’t even make it to the store

Roses on the road again
From a naive wedding
Sit and glue the pedals back to one

​The cards are in the bike spokes
They are going in the lake
The little boys and girls have gone away
Summertime was never here
If you can’t see it clear
The universe is in a cup of tea

Who is that at the door?
What is there left to give?
When will we know it’s gone?
Does the world always take?
Why are you always here?
Is there anything to do?
Do we have time to learn?
How do I know it’s real?

Hey officer if you don’t mind
Could you go and spend my time
In the cell that you got planned for me?
Tell my Mom that’s its ok I won’t be back anyway
There's nothing here to see along the trail

Mydearheart (Demo)

Mydearheart
​
Now it’s time to go, pick up my bags, leave everything I know
Hold my hand it’s cold and I’m scared about what the future holds
Feels like I’m losing a friend, can we turn around…again?

My dear heart is old, older than the hills, like travellers with gold
Can’t say that I like being pushed around by fate and it’s might
They say that sticks and stones
Cannot break your bones…is it true?

My old heart is gone, I’m OK
My old heart is gone, I’m here to stay

My new heart is torn
Between where it is now and where it was, before
I’m grateful for this place
And a stranger who has never seen my face

There’s nothing I could say
To make you feel the same….way

My old heart is gone, I’m OK
My old heart is gone

I’m here to stay

After the prizes had been handed out it was the end of the game
Even though we know that every player that was on the field 
is the same
Climbing the fence to get a better look at
All of the people and how they reacted to the score
Riff!
Medals and ribbons and winning and losing, is it fair?
I don’t know but they want all of the daughters and all of the sons to take the cake
Filling the cases up with all those trophies
One isn’t good enough neither is two when will it end?
Riff!
Driven by force and not appetite
Pressured in to centre ice
Made to feel like they are everything
Wonder if they’ll turn out right?

I just want the best things for you
Let me do the things I like to do
Do not make the same mistakes as me
I will make my own just wait and see

Missed opportunities of parents turn into their kids insecurities,
It happens all the time and gets overlooked even though their kids are ill at ease
Try to imagine standing there at game point
Feeling the stress and the fear of letting you down
 Riff!!
Driven by force and not appetite
Pressured in to centre ice
Made to feel like they are everything
Wonder if they’ll turn out right?
