    Layers of guitars with a whisper-to-a-scream arrangement. Inspired greatly by noisy, but catchy guitar band like Pixies and Catherine Wheel.

    Story Behind the Song
    This is an homage to the bands who influence us. As such, the lyrics are basically a laundry list of album titles, songs and artists we try (99% in vain) to emulate. The title is "Name Names."

    Lyrics
    NAME NAMES
    Dipped into The River, son. Sheryl’s been nicked more than once. Stop me if you heard it.
    Liz has proved Phair game on occasion. Took that Eddie riff, tried to fake it. Not quite lifted. Still, you been ripped off. Just now admitting… I been stealing. Standing guilty of more than listening. I will name these names unfazed. Such attractive marks for the taking.
    Wore the grooves off Wirey, Word Gets Around, and Adam and Eve. Stop me if you heard it. That girl’s Hole catalog. I’m familiar. Bono, Edge, et al. I’ve pilfered. (CHORUS) That reeks of Paul’s lungs. And of dated Guns. My dirty ears they got me pinched again. You’ll get no conceit from a cheat named me. I cop to everything. This momentary noise got my attention. These 80s metal bands uncool to mention. Not quite stolen. Still, you’ve been ripped off.
