   About mumble
Mumble's music could be described as intelligent rock music for those who actually believe rock and roll can still be an art form. This label is dangerous though, because Mumble's music is still certainly very accessible with hooks and memorable passages. Complexly layered with sonic structure and full bodied production, their recorded material would be likened to an immersion experience. Live performances come off more as taut displays of interwoven musical exercise with bursts of emotional and sonic fury. Photobucket

Eric Empson and John Hawthorne are kings among mere mortals. My way of saying "prince amongst men".

Be well friends, yours always...

I wonder if there is some evil underhanded way to get a hold of that EP without driving across the state? If perhaps there was some sort of service that was available where one pays someone who drives across anyway let's say for a job, and so they could just take it along with the rest of their stuff and then when I dunno driving past my house leave it on the porch or maybe even some sort of box, that perhaps I have labeled with my house number for easy finding purposes in case I'm not home at the moment.
