Artist description Al sez: 4 guys got tired of watching everybody else's bands form and fade away, and wanted to have some fun before they all went their separate ways. when the guitarist and bassist decided that writing power pop was easier than writing ska hornlines, the idea was born. for a band where the drummer just got his first set for his 18th birthday, the bassist borrows a bass from his euphonium-playing homey, and the guitarist got his first electric guitar for christmas, we're not THAT bad.
