The North Decade

I know what to say... to you

About Me

The North Decade is Ryan Spilken & Mike Evans. They are also in Ilijah. They make a lot of noise for two guys. One of them put out an E.P. called "The Grey Lining (To Your Cloud)" and now they play some of those songs, as well as some Ilijah songs, and also some songs by people you may/ may not have heard of before. Come see them play and they will love on you and the space between your ears.
