Artist History Grew out of a haphazard side project called "My Mentor Al" in 1999. Half of that band quit or moved away. Recruited Josh to play drums and was re-born as E.D.I.T.H. Started to get the idea that people liked us and took us seriously. Recorded with Brian Cox of the Slats in Spring 2001; made some CD-R's; Stacy moved away, ad after a transitional period of uncertain lineups, Peter joined.

Group Members Charles Hoffman: guitar, voice, tapes Peter Vanderwall: bass 3054: drums, art

Instruments Mostly guitars & drums. Have also experimented with crocxylophone and tapes. Trumpet and keyboards are additional possibilities.

Albums self-titled CD-R thing

Press Reviews One of these girls who let us practice in their basement a couple times said she totally relates to the song "The Toaster Takes Too Long." Some British guy on BeSonic.com said "You (Song)" was "one of the best indie-rock songs on BeSonic... groovy and uplifting... very exciting song." Aaron McNally might write an article about us for the paper. We got some pretty interesting reviews on Garageband.com too.
