   About We Are The Branches
We Are The Branches combines aspects of rock, metal, and powerpop coalescing the genres into something that proves to be fresh and innovative in an often stagnant and boring sea of cliched sounding bands.

The mix is heavey and chunky guitar tone, melodic hooks with emotive force, and a pure rock and roll mentality that favors rocking over following any "sound" or musical trend.

Add Todd Hanson's lyrical approach; honest, sarcastic, possibly a tad bit cynical at times, and directly to the point and you've got a recipe for something that will make you laugh, cry, and then spiral you into a depression that only more We Are The Branches can cure.

Keep checking back to see progress in our recording process...we'll keep you posted.

Yeah, you guys weren't that awsome. Obviously you played first, so you are considered the worst band. The fact that you look like Bob Dylan 1975, helps a little.

Just kidding. Awsome show.

Nothing wrong with loud, although I do think the vibrations rattled the light fixture from the bathroom ceiling!
You can tear the roof off my bar anytime! Thanks again for a great time.

that last comment was apparently sent by a robot claiming to be me. whatever you do, don't click on the link or give it your info or the virus will send that comment to your friends. oh yeah, you can probably delete it.
