last night I had a dream that I woke up and looked out the window and it was dark and off in the distance I saw some cars they were burning the flames lit the skies up above as the street filled with blood and all of my friends were all sporting fangs and at first I was scared but then I just smiled and put on my coat, Thought finally something to leave the house for. this town needs something catastrophic to wake it up so we're waking the dead and we'll feed on the innocence as the innocence just got so dull and boring so C this city is driving me crazy and H the hate is rising up inside me and Everyone Sometimes Tells Everyone 'Round them you cant keep a secret your just not allowed them to all my friends or should we just say acquaintances you took my love and then you turned it to hatred and oh maybe I'll see you when you get home I'm so scared of growing old but I'm more scared of dying alone so if I wind up getting comfortable and settling down then I hope that this isn't my home

about

"They're a multi-legged, multi-instrumented scramble up the precipitous slopes of 20-something hearts, driven along by melodies that'd tan your backside if you dared to flag. There's nothing to buck trends here. We have acoustic guitars, a banjo, a glockenspiel, a melodica. Someone is making interesting electronic sounds and there is percussion. I think. But reducing bands to their constituent parts is like sniffily suggesting Monet and Picasso are similar because their palette all comes from blends of the primary colours. It's how you arrange these sounds and the greater picture to which they are constituent parts that determines the quality The sing-a-long melodies sweeten lyrics about frustration, death and loneliness - and I know that this apparent contradiction has been the coal that fired the whole rock n roll revolution, and that that seam appears to be running low, but when it's done with this amount of truth, and a welcome lack of irony, it's enrapturing."
