"Another four-piece Ypsi pop band? Hardly. Can't get "American Way" outta our heads." ~MetroTimes
the band was formed at the end of 2005 out of ann arbor, mi with one foot over the ypsi border. a pop rock project focusing on melodies that have just as much sentiment as the lyrics, combined with a steam engine pulse. taking influences from the early folk and soul era to the tube flexing warm rhythms of beautiful unprocessed rock & roll.
we are currently in the studio working on our first album which is near completion. we are in the final mixing stages and hoping to have it finished by late summer 2008. please check back for a scheduled release date.
