Artist History Erris, Jack, and Allen grew up together in Milltown, and have played rock and roll since they can remember. They relocated to Boston, where they recorded and released their first indie cd while playing the local clubs and hanging out at the D.O.B. (Deserted Office Building) practice space. Contemporaries of the bands "Good Neighbors" and "Krill", they often share venues. Following their autumn "Vinland" tour, the band has begun recording a second cd. It will be produced by Rock and Roll Hall of Fame guitarist Steven Brant, at Briar Lea, his remote retreat overlooking Mooselukmeguntic Lake in Maine.
