one song from their debut album contains warns to, "tell them what you want / but never tell them who you are," while another just as compellingly urges the opposite. all this set to a blistering rock soundtrack.
Brosd Koal
euphoric pop and country & western fatalism from this "brass band without the brass." loud (except when they're not) songs of ecstasy, equanimity and desperation.

they don't sign anything, they don't make donations and they don't say "hello" when you pass them on the street. this quartet of incredibly tall men know exactly what they're doing.
