Fun song, really really crappy recording. This was the first song we attempted to record.

An instrumental we've been working on for a while. As always, let us know what you think.
4:47 AM 4:47 AM
This is another new song that just got finished...written at (you guessed it) 4:47 in the morning. Yoo-hoo for insomniacs...Please continue to leave feedback, and keep us on the charts. Enjoy
Hey everyone. Thanks for checking us out. Right now, the recordings on here are demo versions. We hope to have our first cd "Before We Are Old" finished by early 2005. We think ya'll will like it, so be watching for more info on the cd.Band/artist history
We started playing together over the summer of '03, mostly playing various covers and jamming every once in a while; and getting used to each other's playing/singing style. Then in the fall of '03 we started writing our own stuff, gradually getting better at it as we went along. Along the way, I [Max] got some recording experience and we recorded our demo, "The Goodnight EP" in the early spring of '04 using my little four-track recorder.Have you performed in front of an audience?We play where we can and when we have time. It's kind of stressful getting ready for playing live anywhere, mostly because we have to get our backing band ready, and there is limited time to practice with our busy schedules. Though in the end, it's worth it, because we have alot of fun with what we do.

Hi guys
Thanks for the kind words you left for me.. I couldn't resist a listen to 4:47am.. it's really a lovely tune. I was wondering what guitar stuff you use and what you record with? it's only coz I think your guitar could maybe be clearer - it's a beautiful guitar and I like the jangly acousticness in the background but the distortion at some points doesn't fit in.. hey it's only my opinion tho! Keep doing what you're doing :)
Best Wishes
Kate
I like all your songs man,you have a really good voice. Your music blends very well with your voice,keep up the cook song work,really good job bro,,Peace.
Wow, you are reaalllly talented, Max. Tonight I was listening to you play guitar outside your door. You were playing two songs by John Mayer, so I stopped what I was doing and decided to sit outside and listen. It made me happy to be able to listen to raw acoustic guitar.
You're really awesome, I wish you the best luck with your band and stuff.

Wow.... this stuff is great! Max, you must be very versatile in your musical abilities to come from a punk background (very respectable I might add!) and be able to play acoustic folk the way you do. You're really talented kids!
Nice song writting liam I'd like to listen to your music after some Pro studio time!
