Desolation Peak

About Me

Desolation Peak is a side project of the shorter half of Paper Street Soap Company, and was formed as a way to showcase some of the songs which he felt did not fit in with the PSSC make up, but that were good none the less. It is not a dumping ground for b-sides or bad material, just a different more folky sound than PSSC would permit. Anyway, if you enjoy what you hear please check out PSSC home page at myspace.com/pssc05
