About Me

Spokes make their quiet/loud, canada/iceland inspired rock music in the countryside of the North East... mainly as a way of keeping warm. Despite their belief in songs they don't actually sing very much. On the occasion that they do, it's because they feel they have something worth saying. MyGen Profile Generator
