HI. We're Brian Mauer and Ben Verson. We've been writing, recording and performing music for over 35 years together. What do we call it? HMMMMMMMMMM, we're not sure. We incorporate any and all styles. We hope you will find that we have succeeded in homogenizing a unique style. Influences range from classic rock (Beatles, Who, Zeppelin) to Folk, slip in a bit of bluegrass, and an equal amount of metal, and you get...Something, without a name.

Story behind the song
A song about the lives we live and see in our country and culture today.
Lyrics
Concrete faces walk the streets, Ghosts of footprints left to meet. Canyons tower over those condemned Their glascine cells have imprisoned them. Chalkboard people are erased. Those obsoleted are replaced. Dreams wash clean, and are hung to dry, While burning books are left to die. (Chorus) Stoic minds indifference binds, Casts off everything he finds Ignorance kissed, another blissed, Who knows not what to make of this. Our world tries to throat its cries To legions of mercenary ears and eyes Who voice to say, as they turn away Please see us on another day, Please see us on another day. Test pattern attitudes thrive en masse. Conformity dies are struck and cast. While blasé kings count bullet shards, Assassins present their business cards. The movie reels turned in from the screen, Show tangled lives to the king and queen (As) the projectionist, dead, slumps to the floor, The queen has no popcorn and the king screams for more. (Chorus)
