Sounds Like: As you can see from our influences, we're extremely eclectic in our tastes. Some songs sound like post-rock, others sound like drawling country. Some songs are blistering in their intensity, while others are sweetly simple meanderings.we edited our profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
