We're a band of deserters.
Every one of us, comes from somewhere and something we've left behind; another band, another place, another life. This is where we are now, and in our music are the complex but organic echoes of times gone by; good, bad, disappointing or triumphant, but always, relentlessly sincere.
Pretense often fails us, having been broken more times than we ourselves have broken hearts. Together we prevail unaffected - applauding the defeated, the lonely and lovelorn, the tactless, the oblivious, and the world's romantic drunks, knowing that there's always cause for celebration in the company of woe.
So take a listen, and experience the whispers of our former lives, and know that artlessness is timeless.
