No One Escapes.... the Whiskey Prison!

About Me

Whiskey Prison has quickly become notorious within circles of absynthe drinking expatriots for inspiring flowery verse with their wit and a certain je ne sais quoi that makes ladies swoon. Then the next morning it becomes clear that they were simply a bunch of drunken assholes with more piss and vinegar than skill as musicians.
Be on the lookout for the new Whiskey Prison CD. We're throwing some of the "test" songs up on this myspace site in the meantime so check in; every week we should be adding some new songs leading up to the new 16 song CD being available!
