Too goth to mix with charvers, too geek to mix with goths, and too cool to mix with geeks, our lives are pretty much the epitome of being a misfit in Gateshead. Roll on the clichés, here comes the part about being bullied at school and how music saved our lives. Well actually, no it doesn't. So somehow we extracted inspiration from this concrete jungle and picked up our guitars to vent it. We were both involved in numberless bands in the past, always cropping up in our circle of friends in vain attempts at curing colossal boredom. We've had the great misfortune of each others company for a good few years now, and we finally came to realise that sanity could only be achieved between us through music. We've written songs to suit death metal, pop punk and grunge, but never really just to suit ourselves. So when we finally did, it ended up being the melodramatic acoustic stuff we?re playing now. We never really felt the need for a drummer, since Ollie "forgot" how to play, and was visited by the ghost of Jimi Hendrix over night, and no one else felt like getting themselves involved in a band where the snare is only hit 3 times per song. So all you're gonna hear is a couple of acoustic guitars, some amateur keyboard and harmonica playing, some two-way harmonised vocals and the odd sprinkling of bongos.
Influences: REM, Tom Waits, Damien Rice, Jose Gonzalez, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan.
