Sounds Like
"The Conway Story: something both beautiful and intense yet fundamentally fragile, a schizophrenic tug between vicious Pumpkins-like guitar hurricane, and tender vulnerability."
"Soars with epic beauty." 8/10.
(ONES TO WATCH 2005)
"Wringing out wrenching riffs with crunchy vocals over music that swings wildly between peaceful Sunday afternoon snooze and waking up the neighbours with annoyance."
"A grandiose rock sound that's like the early work of the Smashing Pumpkins or Placebo."
"The Conway Story could well be one of the best emotionally wracked dark pop bands since Radiohead and Suede."
We like dark paintings with flashes of light. We like Silent Hill in the back of a transit van travelling at 30mph through Manchester at night. We like strings. We like analogue synthesis, especially when recorded onto tape. We like crossing the Thames. We like David Lynch. We like fortuitous accidents while recording. We like bronze things that have aged badly. We like dropping to a single acoustic guitar from a wall of distortion. We like Sean Genockey and Chris Sheldon. We like you.

Hey! Are the holiday shoppers driving your crazy yet??! I wanted to let you know that i'll be playing a show in London on jan. 15th at Half Moon Putney, and if you're not gigging yourself?
Anyway, i have two opening acts....Shurman and Andrea Glass.....i found Andrea on myspace, and produced her record in Nashville over the summer. I think you'll dig her....http://wwww.myspace.com/andreaglassmusic
Also, Al Perkins......who's played with everyone from the Rolling Stones to Gram Parsons to Emmylou Harris will once again be with me. His career is obviously on a downslide!!! Ha!
I found some old clips of Al's days with Manassas and put them into this video to introduce you to Shurman and Andrea....if you get a second.....check it out at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0u6hDmd4As
