Artist description American Rock and Soul with a cutting edge mindset. (We can go from Dylan's baby faced, sly grin to Joe Strummer's menacing, indignant sneer in single count of four...clock it sometime!)

Music Style Rock & Roll/No funny, made-up terms type music, mostly.

Musical Influences Our style and influences lie somewhere out on the long and winding road between The Animals and Otis Redding; between Springsteen and Social Distortion; between Wilco and Westerberg; between The Beatles and The Clash; if it's real and it rocks, chances are it has influenced us or our music in one way or another.

Similar Artists See "Musical Influences." You may find any one or number of those artists in any given MSA song.
