about

We like to maintain a relatively fluid approach to the content and arrangements of our songs. We have found this to be more fun than trying to control every aspect of the arrangements, or worrying about whether the music is too heavy, not heavy enough, or whether it is completely inaccessible to everyone (which it appears it is). With that said, we imagine that some people who have had the pleasure of playing in bands with us would probably say that we're probably authoritarian control freaks in our own way. The middle part of the tune is our barely disguised attempt to plagiarise classical composers.

lyrics

Your band sounds pretty good
But why try to control
What everyone else does?
Playing only what you have been told to
Must make it a procession
Stifled creativity doesn't sound to me like fun

I nearly found myself
Coming out to play with you
Until I found out you wouldn't let me
Play any lead guitar
Setting these things in stone when
There is no need
Would kill all the joy in it
Before it even starts
