Influences

In the short while that we've been (re)formed, we've gone from a a two-piece acoustic act, to a five-piece rock band, down to a three-piece in search of the remaining few pieces.
We can't quite say what our "sound" is - that's up to you, the listener to decide. We can tell you that we've been heavily influenced by a number of different acts. Anything from Johnny Cash to Social Distortion, from Bruce Springsteen to Wilco; and we're not ashamed to wear our influences on our sleeve.
So take a listen and tell us what you think. Leave a comment, send us a message, add us as a friend. We'd love to hear from you.
If you're a fellow musician (i.e. a drummer) and think that you are one of the missing pieces that we're looking for; we'd love to meet you, have a beer and hear you play.
Thanks for listening!
You can find us on facebook and on twitter! Just do a little searchin. We're there. Hiding in the back row.

Hello! Thank you so much for accepting! I don't want this to be a generic band comment so I figure I'll do something a little different because first impressions are important to me I will present you with a joke from my favorite comedian Mitch Hedberg, you mite not get it at first but it is indeed hilarious!
"I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry, and that's extra scary to me. There's a large, out of focus monster roaming the countryside. Look out, he's fuzzy, let's get out of here."
Hahahahah.
This is probably the oddest comment I have left anyone but whatevs.
