About Me

If the music doesn't speak for itself, it says nothing at all.

ps: we don't use a friend-adder program, as I dont believe in them. I would rather the band be promoted via a label, or through touring, or through word-of-mouth. Thus, as an unsigned band, we do not have exceptionally impressive 'numbers'. I will not compromise myself for the sake of having 500 plays a day as a completely independent musical unit. I want our numbers to be indicative of fans who have 'added' us, not the other way around. NEM
