It's definitely a treat for me to hear new music that I enjoy, seeing that I am usually stuck in older eras. It is refreshing to know there are some great bands out there producing amazing music amongst all the other brand name bands today. You guys definitely stand out from the rest. I haven't found a new band that I really like for a while until I heard your music. You guys have wonderful talent! I plan on buying that cd within the next few days :-) And soon, I can hopefully make it to one of your shows! Thanks for adding me, and giving me the opportunity to hear your awesome tunes!
