RYAN HUNTER of ENVY ON THE COAST:
“Both my mother and my grandmother fought relentlessly in their battles with breast cancer. Without those two individuals in my life, I’d be a lost soul. I genuinely believe that I was meant to find KAB, because it has given me the opportunity to help support a group of people who have devoted their entire lives to promoting awareness regarding the disease that almost robbed me of two of the most important people in my life. KAB has given me the opportunity to use my platform as musican to show people more than just the music I make; it has awarded me the opportunity to direct their attention to a group of individuals that are helping to save the world.”

Lyrics to Tell Them She’s Not Scared:
tell them that she’s not scared
wake, wake, wake her
from this sea of white linens and
extract the drugs from her dreams
and sew her seams with delicateness,
‘cause beneath her chest sits the heart that I live for, you’d kill for,
the angels would die for.
and with a subtle wink and the flutter of wings,
they whispered,
they whispered…
I’ll hold your tears as a ransom, within the palm of my hand,
and tell you once again, don’t tell me that you’re scared…
alert the sawbones,
tell them that she’s not scared
she’s got an army of saints armed with her prayers.
wake the angels
tell them that she’s not scared
she won’t be taking the next flight out of here.
this is only a test, she said,
broadcasted from hospital beds.
with a relic in her right hand,
she’s rushes to the front line,
stricken by the wounds across her chest.
the angels swear she’s blessed with this medical test
that unlocks the gates to the place that we live for
we die for, I know that she’s bound for.
and with a subtle wink and a Mother’s instinct,
she whispered,
she whispered…
the angels dressed for the wake
but she sent them home.
with a handful of bullet shells.
