Artist description It's all about the hook, man. I write alone, without benefit of partner to tell me what is lousy. Low budget recording, high budget songs. When asked to describe the band I say, "pretty... real pretty." Either that or I say "The Foibles?... They still together?"

Music Style modern pop/AAA/Rock

Musical Influences Beatles, Foo Fighters, Crowded House, Neil Diamond, William Shatner

Similar Artists Beatles, Foo Fighters, Crowded House, Monkees, Your prom date, The sound made by one hand clapping

Additional Info So they gave me this space to type something extra. So I thought I'd take advantage of it, even though I don't really care to expand on the other information on the page. You ever notice how if you stare your own hand long enough it begins to look deformed? No , really. And I'm not talking about some weird drug thing. Maybe it's just my hand. Maybe I really am deformed and no one wanted to be rude and tell me about it so I've gone through my entire life with this big deformed claw hanging off of my arm. Maybe then I'm miraculous... I mean I play guitar and everything. Yeah - that's it - that'll be my big draw: "come see the deformed boy who overcame his obstacles to play guitar like any other mediocre guitarist." Maybe that'll get me rich.
