Fine Excuses - debut album coming soon...

Hail to the Harmless Grudge

About Me

Hello, we are Fine Excuses.

We're just winging it through life like everyone else. Jobs, bills, minor existential crises, all that. But we've produced something we're really proud of. Something that came out of nothing, and that's not bad.

We've been guilty of prevarication, letting chances slip away, of one too many Fine Excuses. So we've made them work for us.

And we hope they work for you too.

Thanks!

THE FINE EXCUSES

PS: one last thing. Don't buy the Daily Mail It's a really shitty newspaper.
