Influences
Everything we have ever heard, from early childhood memories of am radio to cement saws cutting through the side walk far too early in the morning, the sound of wind through tall grass and the wail of a baby on an over crowded bus.
Sounds Like
We sound like the great plains crashing into a west coast storm.
Steve, and Barry have been playing together since high school. Jarred joined up with them in 1997. The three went on tour as "Farmers Almanac" in 1999. Then they took a 6 year break. They reformed in 2006. In 2007, they were hanging out with this guy named Jake. He plays a mean bass. They thought it would finally be appropriate to add bass to the band, and Jake joined. Then in November of 2007, their friend Sean sang a Bob Pollard tribute show with them. They all had a blast, so they asked Sean to join the band. That brings us to today.
We have our first 7" single "Control" available at our shows for $5. We also have shirts for $10.
