Artist History Come and listen to a story about a boy named Ed. The poor Broomalleer's dad couldn't get his kids to bed. And then one day, he brought home drums, guitars and keys. And the music started flowing til the neighbors called police...Broomall's best...unplugged the boys. Well the next thing ya know, they're in a Battle of the Bands. The drummer's hat cost us first place, but there's joy in Rick's dad's van. Some thirty odd years later, we're now making MP3s. And, the music flows from our home in the town of ole' Grady...ville, that is. Antiques, flowers and a post office. Much of the music you'll find here is available for sale in the MP3 format at the band's web site, www.piercethedarkness.com
