As a rule, band bios are typically written in third person, ideally by a publicist, with the aim of highlighting a given act’s achievements and making them sound cool.
But 1) we’ve never been very good at following rules when it comes to the music business, 2) we’re too broke to hire anyone else to write about us, 3) we’re too awkward to brag (and compared with some of our friends and peers, we don’t feel there’s much for us to brag about anyway) and 4) we’re a lot of things, but “cool” is probably not one of them.
What we certainly can say about ourselves is that we’re persistent.
Marriage, kids, careers, personal crises, financial hardship, a global pandemic; all the things that should’ve killed us as a band just kind of…didn’t. Instead, we’ve ended up releasing four self-produced studio albums to date, touring the east coast, and playing regularly on the local/regional level for nearly a decade.
We’re either too resilient to be stopped or too stubborn to go away. (You can make up your own mind as to which one it is.)
Aside from stating the basic facts of who we are (Daniel Graham - bass, vocals, lyrics, occasional guitars / Dylan Porper - keyboards, harmony vocals, arrangements, technical studio wizardry / Jeff Matthews - drums, occasional additional harmony vocals, sarcastic remarks) and what we do (playing an ill-advised and very un-algorithm-friendly mix of keyboard-driven prog and punk rock that also takes frequent cues from a veritable smorgasbord of eclectic influences in the worlds of jazz, pop, indie & so forth and which elicits frequent comparisons to anime and video game music), there’s not much else to talk about.
But we’ll leave you with this: however, wherever, and why-ever you’re reading this, we’re happy you found us, and hope you’ll come along for the ride, wherever it takes us next.
We promise it won't be boring.
