Artist description Shiny-rock, dark-folk, beat-pop. The music will envelope you with the vocals like dusky bells and brass of Robin H Farren, Mikel Haag's psychedelic blues pop guitar, and the intelligent, poetic lyrics. The songs are woven around the war toms, jungle rhythm, and driving beat of Elaine Harris, with the eclectic, meaty, bowed and fingered bass of John Styklunas.

Press Reviews "Dark female-led folk rock driven by primal drumbeats and velvet draped vocals. Main project of that woman who owns that vintage clothing store down the street. Sounds like Patti Smith and Concrete Blonde."--listen.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Robin Farren, sister to local wunderkind Charlie Farren (who also has a new solo CD out) has produced a solo album that rivals brother's impressive songwriting abilities. Robin has a strong voice (and co-wrote) "Soldiers of Love" and "One of Many". The Farren clan runs rife with talent, one has to wonder how many more Farren siblings there are...check this one out at www.mp3.com/robinhfarren. ***Three Star Rating"-- Mark Murphy, Boston SoundCheck Magazine -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "A foray into the dark honest corner of the blues. Classified as Alternative or Power Pop their sound is rich, driving and refreshing. A songwriter par excela'nce! Velvety vocals brings to mind Concrete Blonde, Patti Smith.... Lead guitar, bass, drums, keyboards, vocals combine together to form a positively powerful sound. A sojourn down their song list brings you full circle through the emotions and complexity of life. ...Miss you Christmas is not your typical holiday tune and should not be put back on the shelf in January to gather dust. Play it in July and you will like it just as much as in December.--Banker's Buys ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
