Rock and Roll in constant, creative flux. Sometimes hard, sometimes sweet... and so The Sorrow begins.
Residing in Hollywood, The Sorrow are musical shape-shifters. All members switching instruments and vocals to suit the song. A dark dreamy backbeat to a straight ahead punk rock tune. The Sorrow has many voices but what screams loudest is their love for the Rock And for the Roll.
By all accounts, this ranks up there with perhaps the most prodigious music makers of modern times--or should I say contemporary. Some may argue that I have a predilection for the consumption of this ensemble. However, I think not. Bravo, and keep up the brilliant artistry.
You guys rock big time! I was directed here from the Space Twins boards and your tunes are awesome :) No chance you're coming to the UK any time soon I s'pose ;)
Last night definitely rates up there on my "Top 10 Weirdest Nights Ever." I had a kitty nightmare last night. I'm still in shock, too. Damn it. Let's try to have a good weekend and I'll see you Sunday night when I get back... TGIF!

A wonderful eclectic mix of dreamy pop, garage rock and rock 'n' roll, balancing male and female vocals without drawing untoward attention to either...waitaminnit, we're writing a friggin' review! We like it. What's up with the band webpage? And when are you guys playing a gig?
