If you were asked to pick just one of your songs to
represent your music, what would it be and why?
Letter off of
Listen Close. It's got a little of everything: our alt. country influences,
loud Big Muff breaks, nice harmonies, and enough weird little changes to keep
it interesting. It's fun to play live and I almost always remember most of the
lyrics.
Where can we listen to it?
