About Me

Pop, country, rock, noise, guitars, bass, drums and keys. That kind of sums it up. We write songs on guitars that have melody and mostly upbeat tempos. We recorded our first CD, All My Reason, in Jersey City and even played a few gigs in New York to showcase the CD.
We take our cultural cues from a variety of sources including; Lou Reed, Louis Armstrong, The Pixies and Woodbine.
Our next CD, Is It Just Me?, is being recorded in New York City in the best laptop home studios available. We might even play another gig but until that time, please listen and enjoy.
