Artist History The songwriting talents of Paul Finnie, Lee Edwards and Simon Burrell blend together to form the bands mainly autobiographical songs about the thoughts, feelings and frustration of everyday life that anybody can relate to. They combine their British and American infuences to form music that transends the divide between the two genres creating a sound that is their own. Their music ranges from the 3 minute pop-rock of 'Balanced' to the thoughtful progression of 'Pieces' showing an eclectic range of music while always maintaining their own sense of style and identity.
