our Musical Geniuses...

when famous musicians are asked who the "most important people in music" are, or who their most important influences are, they always have to drop the same names like Paul McCartney or Kurt Cobain, because if they don't list the "mainstays" that everybody always lists - then music snobs will jump all over their music cred status. well we're not famous musicians, and we don't have to prove our "music cred" to anyone, so while we can appreciate the talent of a McCartney or a Cobain... we believe that there is just as much genius radiating from our ipods...

Michael Flynn is easily one of the most intelligent songwriters and gifted vocalists of our generation.

Jesse Lacey's mind goes into far deeper, and more complicated and undeniably twisted places than our little ears should have been absorbing back then. but over the years, his brilliant way of penning unforgettable rock n' roll poetry has become an irreplaceable puzzle piece in our lives.
