Thank you so much for sending me your music. I feel honored that you'd let me hear a recording (I miss you) that you haven't even finished yet. I enjoyed both songs very much and smiled while listening. I hear some influences from some of my favorite bands, yet your music is so original at the same time. I think Sunflowers is my new favorite song. :) I'm glad I stumbled upon your band.

I just happened upon your page one day while looking for new music to listen to. I like to find new music before anyone else I know does. Haha! " then the irish thing afte a mag comparing us to motley gnr bon jovi we get an email saying yo yo yo put us a song over we wanna play it so off that goes again an honour that this music we do is slowly but surely making its way out the uk i love this band to pieces best mates:)
