Simple as this: if you're a fan of good music and clever song writing, than you will like what we do. I wouldn't compare our music to that of Mumford & Sons, but I would compare the same driving heart and soul in the vocals and lyrics, with the perfect chord and melody and to match. I take pride in my song writing and I want the audience to feel the pain and joy that I'm expressing through the music. Aside from that, We are very versatile. I am not above learning songs for the occasion (birthdays, special events, etc). I'm a huge fan of 90's alternative, and a lot of 60's, 70's and 80's as well. On top of that, my generation stays with the times so I keep it hip, as far as music goes, as well. Best thing I can tell you to do, is listen to what we do and just talk to me face to face or over the phone. I'm old school when it comes to getting to know someone and what they want my service to provide for them.
We're not picky. A dim lighting with some floor lights and a strong sound man is all we need.
We have utmost 15 original songs and more in the works, not to mention the extensive library of hundreds of songs we know collectively.
Max Bemis of Say Anything is my rock idol, I wouldn't compare our music but I just want to taste the sweat of the passion he gives so I may have a speck of his mojo for my own music. Early Fall Out Boy shaped why I feel in love with rock and this sort of sub-genre that I've been in. Motion City Soundtrack, RHCP, anything like that. As for my bandmates: Spotes loves him some Jimi Hendrix/Jack Johnson and is kind of middle ground with the same melodic, grungy style he plays himself. Slick Rick is a huge R&B fan along with everything else in the entire world. Seriously, the man knows everything.
