About this project
We are an independent rock band who rely on our own revenue generated from playing live shows and selling CDs to cover the costs of recording our albums, touring and pretty much everything else in life. We independently released one album entitled, "Not Yet Now" in 2007, and are nearing the completion of our second album. However, the process has slowed due to an exhausted recording budget, and small (but appreciated) paychecks from recent shows. We are dying to get this record out to you guys, and we hope you're dying to hear it, too. The very best way to support us, of course, is to come to one of our gigs. Even better, come to two... and bring a friend while encouraging them to invite their friends too.
But, if you'd like to help out even more, then we'd gladly thank you in a special way. Our goal is to remain independent and true to the fans. After all, they're feeding us.
Thank you.
-Alex Nelson

"Their sound is a reflection of their name: confident and honest, with the ability to lay down a screaming rocker then turn around and heartfully deliver a tender ballad...Seeing the band live is the only way to understand what everyone is talking about."

"...A bass player from a punk band, a drummer from a jazz ensemble, and a singer/songwriter/guitarist with the soul of a folk singer effortlessly combine rhythms and melodies that draw from the old, mix with the new and come out with a sound all their own. "
-Megan Neves, Your Music Magazine, Issue 55, Dec-Jan 2008
