Artist description
Here we stand on the verge of a music revolution, with the controls to make hearts listen and ears bleed resting in the palms of our hands, and yet we know not what to do with these gifts we've been given. Or do we? Fate hath chosen us to rock YOU. And so help us if we don't fulfill our prophecy from the good witches. |

Indie with a double dose of ROCK. Apparently. Tickle your fancy? |

Press Reviews
"(Everything Up in Flames) really does click and during 30 minutes you get energetic powerpop that is not afraid of any commercial influence..." -Dreams Never End (Belgium)
"Duffer bring an edge to the 'indie pop in a box' sound comparable to such bands as Jimmy Eat World or Superdrag. (Everything Up in Flames) is recommended to someone who has just had his heart smashed, enjoys the newly emerging indie pop sound or is looking for an alternative to the current local music scene." -The Marquee
"It's party time in the Duffer house." -Smuggler
"Let's host our own party and overthrow the royal leaders of yesteryear...with Duffer." -Sarge |
